Product Description
Technology transfer, the acquisition of "inventive activity" by secondary users, is vital to socio-economic growth, but seldom is it analyzed from the strategic planning perspective. Unlike others, who tend to see it as a micro phenomenon, Madu sees it "holistically." He thus examines the advantages of technology transfer and its limitations by viewing recipient nations as systems, in which social, economic, behavioral, and political influences converge to help shape technological decisions. In this way Madu is able to offer "prescriptive frameworks and guidelines" to help implement transfer, and to see it as a variable to be integrated into a nation's development planning.
