In most Third World nations, importing technology from other countries is considered vital to industrialization and economic development. This book examines the processes of technology transfer and development by tracing how Hindustan Machine Tools—a public enterprise in India—successfully collaborated with manufacturers from industrialized nations in its growth from a single factory to a diversified industrial complex. The author critically analyzes the company's overall strategies for diversification and expansion and its approaches to selecting, acquiring, absorbing, and generating technology and to developing appropriate management. He also points to important relationships between “policy efficiency” and “administrative efficiency” and discusses socioeconomic and cultural factors that can obstruct the successful development and operation of an industrial enterprise in a developing country.
The technology transfer process involves a series of activities that required cooperation between multiple stakeholder groups over a period of time. Transfer of technology is a lengthy, complex and dynamic process, whose success is influenced by various factors originating from these stakeholder groups. Management of technology transfer assumes a pivotal role in optimizing business and retaining competitive edge for both the technology transferor and transferee in the emerging globalized economy. In this publication the key success factors for achieving successful technology transfer management under Indian context have been identified using an empirical survey and structural equation modelling. The book will be served as a useful reference material for technology transfer/ commercialization managers and students pursuing their higher professional education in technology management. This is a first of its kind publication in the area of technology management under Indian perspective.

Contrary To Conventional Wisdom, Newly Industrialising Countries (Nics) Of Asia And Latin America Engage To An Appreciable Extent, In R&D Activities Leading To Technical Change. They Do So As Part Of Their Industrialization Process And In Response To The Prevailing Economic Environment In Which That Process Takes Place.The Book Is Aimed To Present A Preliminary Evaluation Of The Emergence Of Some Of The Newly Industrialising Countries (Nics) As Internationally Competitive Sellers Of Technology, But It Has Devoted A Particular Attention To India Which, Despite Its Poverty And Relatively Poor Record Of Economic Growth, Seems To Lead The Third World In The Field Of Technology Exports.The Said Phenomenon Of Technology Transfer By Indian Industries Is Itself Worthy Of Note. The Fact That They Have Established A Comparative Advantage In The Sale Of Most Skill And Knowledge Intensive Of All Products Pure Know-How Itself Raises Important Issues For Their Dynamic Role In The International Trade. It Also Calls For A Closer Examination Of The Processes Of Technological Assimilation And Development Which Underlie Their Entry Into The Foreign Markets.A Number Of Indian Enterprises (Public And Private Sector) Are Emerging On The International Scene As Major Exporters Of Manufacturing, Construction, Management, Financial And Other Forms Of Technology. The Main Object Of This Study Is To Analyse And Examine, In Detail, The Process Of Technology Transfer From Indian Industries.
For many years it was assumed that technology transfer would prove an unqualified answer for the problems of the developing nations, vastly simplifying and accelerating their rate of economic development. The papers in this volume question these assumptions demonstrating how technology transfer can be very costly and that success is contingent upon a variety of factors including, the direction of indigienous technology and the political setting of the recipient country.
This book focuses on Indian manufacturing industries and analyses the impact of inward foreign direct investment on the domestic sector on the one hand, and exports and outward foreign direct investment by Indian companies on the other. Although the emphasis is mostly general, specific industries, such as the automotive industry or the wind energy sector are also explored. The differences between low and high technology industries are also addressed. In terms of theoretical setting and analysis, the book draws both from international business and industrial organization literature. The various characteristics of Indian industries, such as the determinants and impacts of R&D, the effects of spillovers, the drivers of productivity and technical efficiency are thoroughly researched employing appropriate quantitative methodologies that are relevant to the specific domain and topic under investigation. The book also focuses on the bearing of policy on promoting manufacturing industries in India and is therefore of interest to researchers, industrialists and policy makers alike.
The book is the culmination of a research effort which spanned all continents and involved a large number of research teams from both the industrialised and developing countries. The book addresses a number of key issues related to technology transfer by small and medium-sized enterprises most especially whether such companies are more effective transferors than larger transnational corporations. A key aspect of the research was the fact that firms in source and host countries were matched to assure a degree of consistency in the firm coverage and their responses.
