Abstract

Technology transfer is a two-way process. There is always a sender and a receiver and sometimes, there is an intermediary. Although the transfer can stimulate development, the ultimate requirement of the receiving country is to build up the capacity to generate its own technology. To do so, it will be helpful for the country to examine the process of the development in the developed countries so that it can learn. For various financial and technical reasons there is already a significant reverse technology transfer. The process of transfer links the production function of the developed country to that of the receiving country. The nature and amount of transfer will greatly depend upon what is happening in the production process in the sender-country. To understand this, we need to make a critical survey of the literature dealing with the developed countries’ experiences focused on the following points: A. Conditions necessary for innovation: role and impact of research and development (R&D) on productivity; availability of funds for R&D from financial institutions and stock market, and effect of information of the performance of companies on availability of funds. B. Organisation and information: information flow in science and technology; communication among organisations; networking.
