Overview
""The Economics of Technology Transfer"" presents a selection of the most important articles in the field, many of which are not easily accessible. The volume pays particular attention to issues facing developing countries in the context of rapid technical change, globalization of production and the international spread of innovation itself. Part 1 of this book focuses on theory and concepts. Part 2, which examines multinationals, deals with the main engines of technology development and transfer. Part 3 discusses developing countries, pointing to the possible conflict between internalized technology transfer (via multinational enterprises) and the needs of domestic technological capability building. The remaining parts include papers on technology transfer processes and issues in selected countries of Latin America, East Asia, the transition economies and the mature industrial economies.

Reviews
`This is an excellent collection of readings on the economics of technology transfer. The editor has done scholars and teachers of the subject a great service by bringing them to one place. This volume makes a valuable addition to our libraries, and our teaching materials.' -- Richard R. Nelson, Columbia University, US `The editor of this collection of papers, Sanjaya Lall, is an outstanding researcher on the economics of technical change. This new book The Economics of Technology Transfer brings together twenty of the best papers on this hitherto rather neglected subject. It is very welcome and highly relevant to the contemporary debate on globalisation .' -- Christopher Freeman, SPRU - Science and Technology Policy Research, University of Sussex, UK and Maastricht University, The Netherlands
