Technological catch-up and strategic technology partnering in developing countries
This paper examines the trends in strategic technology partnering (STP) by firms from developing countries over the period 1980-94. The evidence shows that a small group of countries, namely the Asian NICs and Eastern Europe dominate STP activity. We also examine differences in organisational modes and how these have evolved over time, suggesting an increasing similarity between the NICs and Tr...
متن کاملDetecting Technological Catch-up in Economic Convergence
Our aim is to address the problem of measuring how much of the convergence that we observe is due to convergence in technology versus convergence in capital-labour ratios, in the absence of data on the level of technology. To this aim, we first develop a growth model where technology accumulation in lagging economies depends on their propensity to innovate and on technological spillovers, and c...
متن کاملA Quantitative Model for Technological Risk Assessment in the Process of Information Technology Transfer
Most technology transfer to developing countries has failed to deliver the expected results within the timescales and budgets predicted. Research has consistently shown that this is due to the inadequacy of local evaluation procedures applied and to a lack of understanding about the factors that influence the successful outcome of these systems in different socio-cultural and political environm...
متن کاملTransfer of Technology and Technological Capacity Building
The importance of technological change in raising productivity and living standards is wellknown. Productivity increases are associated with lower-cost production processes, higherquality intermediate inputs and outputs, and greater product variety, all of which require innovation. Invention and creation processes remain overwhelmingly the province of the OECD countries, who continue to underta...
متن کاملEmerging digital technology as a window of opportunity and technological leapfrogging: catch-up in digital TV by the Korean firms
This paper has examined the leapfrogging thesis with the case of catch-up in digital TV by the Korean firms. Despite the disadvantages implied by the technological regime of digital TV and the risks facing early entrants in trajectory choice and initial market formation, the Korean firms had achieved a ‘path-creating catch-up’ in the sense they chose a different path from the forerunning Japane...
