Abstract

Largely based on an empirical study of Egypt‟s car industry, the paper criticises traditional approaches to and models of technology transfer in the new age of openness to trade and FDI and in the light of Egyptian experience. It is argued that these ideas and models, such as technological independence, need to be re-examined.
