Research on the international transfer of technology in economics
and management literature has primarily focused on the role of
countries and that of companies, in particular multinational
enterprises (MNEs). Similarly, economic and business historians
have tended to view international technology transfer as a way for
economically 'backward' countries to acquire new technologies in
order to catch up with more developed economies. This volume
provides a more in-depth understanding of how the international
transfer of technologies is organized and, in particular,
challenges the core-periphery model that is still dominant in the
extant literature. By looking beyond national systems of
innovation, and statistics on foreign trade, patent registration
and foreign direct investment, the book sheds more light on the
variety of actors involved in the transfer process (including
engineers, entrepreneurs, governments, public bodies, firms, etc.)
and on how they make use of a broad set of national and
international institutions facilitating technology transfer. Put
differently, the volume offers a better understanding of the
complexity of global technology flows by examining the role and
actions of the different actors involved. By bringing together a
number of original case studies covering many different countries
over the period from the late 19th to the 21st century, the book
demonstrates how technology is being transferred through complex
processes, involving a variety of actors from several countries
using the national and international institutional frameworks.
