Synopsis

The first study in technology transfer to use company-specific examples to enrich an exploration of the complex and dynamic issues involved. Focusing on the experience of companies in Algeria, this book describes technology transfer as more than the hand-over of new technology hardware. It is a process that depends not only on the capacity to operate and to choose apppropriate equipment, but also on the adaptation of the technology to suit local conditions. It is therefore a process which, if successfully implemented, can nurture learning and innovation. Divided into three sections, the book discusses:

1. The conceptual framework including a theoretical discussion and literature review,

2. The presentation and analysis of national policies on economic development and technology transfer,

3. Management of the process of technology transfer and assessment of implications for the fostering of learning and creativity

Development through Technology Transfer represents an attempt to combine technology transfer with other major related development issues. As such, it will provide readers with a much needed comprehensive approach to the subject, and a solid foundation for the management of technology transfer to developing countries.
