Even though concern about and interest in technology transfer have
existed since the 1950s, it has become of increasing importance to
lesser-developed and developing countries since the 1970s. The
transfer of technology in general, and in particular the transfer
of technical knowledge, lies at the heart of the North-South
debate. There is an abundance of literature on technology transfer
in almost every field of interest--policy, practice, applied case
studies, and general recommendations--but little, if any, of the
information is integrated. It remains widely distributed throughout
the fields of economics, business, rural sociology, and
anthropology. The same may be said for various studies of
consultants as change agents. On the other hand, studies of
counterparts--host country professionals--have been almost entirely
neglected, with the exception of their implied roles as innovators
or acceptors. There have been few attempts to tie practice to
theory, theory to research, or research to practice. This volume
attempts to provide the link between theory, research, and
practice. Based upon research conducted at two large-scale water
resource development projects in Indonesia, it focuses upon the
problems and solutions encountered by two primary sets of people
involved in the transfer of technical knowledge--foreign
consultants and host country counterparts. Dr. Scott-Stevens
presents a unified and applied approach to many of the
cross-cultural theories, issues, and problems common to the
transfer of technical knowledge across cultures.
