Technology, Market Structure and Internationalization - Issues and Policies for Developing Countries (Hardcover)

The technological capacity of nations is increasingly seen as a curcial influence on their international competitiveness and growth prospects. However, very often technology does not receive due attention in development policy in many developing countries. This volume analyzes the factors that contribute to the technological capability in developing countries and examines the implication these have on policy formation. Key areas covered include: globalization and local capability; new technologies and developing countries; market structure and performance; firm size and technological activity; multinational enterprises and technology imports; and patent protection. The authors intend to redress the balance in the current literature by providing a developing country perspective on the economic analysis of technology and considering affecting policies. This volume should be of interest to researchers in developing economics as well as to those involved with the creation of policy in developing countries.
