Abstract

This chapter examines the role of United Kingdom small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in transferring technology to developing countries. After a brief review of the scale of foreign direct investment by United Kingdom SMEs in section 9.1 (details of non-equity foreign involvement is not consistently reported), the chapter summarises the cases investigated and offers an overview of the findings (section 9.2). The concluding section is followed by an appendix which includes an analytical summary of the 12 United Kingdom technology suppliers interviewed. This structure differs from that of the other chapters, but the intention is to permit an understanding of the behaviour of each supplier as a complete entity.
