Acquisition of Technological Capability in Small Firms in Developing Countries
An authoritative examination of how small firms in developing countries acquire technological capability - the knowledge and skills required to operate technology effectively and to adapt it to local conditions. It fills a gap in the established literature on technological capability, which has neglected the small-scale sector in spite of the important role it plays in employment generation. The author develops a methodology for a quantitative assessment of the learning process, using case material from the small-scale capital goods sector in Pakistan's Punjab Province.
Technology Development in Rural Industries
This book is a study of the development and acquisition of technology by a group of small and medium-sized rural industries in Sichuan province, China. It will be of interest to economists, developmentalists, NGOs, social scientists, and private and public consultants within the development field.
Globalization and Economic Development
Seventeen international specialists contribute 16 essays to this text honoring Dutch researcher, educator, and policy-maker, George Waardenburg. Focusing on developing countries, this text analyzes globalization from a range of perspectives. It challenges the mainstream view that globalization ensures efficiency and growth and provides equity and development for participating countries. Coverage includes the effects of the neo-liberal (Washington Consensus) policies on growth and stability in developing countries; developments in international capital flows and their implications for economic policy and policy autonomy; and the effects of globalization on income distribution, employment, and significant social indicators within developing countries and on the environment. c.
