The globalisation of technology and its implications for developing countries: windows of opportunity or further burden?
Archibugi, Daniele and Pietrobelli, C. (2003) The globalisation of technology and its implications for developing countries: windows of opportunity or further burden? Technological Forecasting and Social Change 70 (9), pp. 861-884. ISSN 0040-1625.
Abstract
On the basis of a categorisation of ways in which the generated knowledge is transmitted, this paper explores the impact of the different forms of the globalisation of technology on developing countries. Through travelling, media, scientific and technical workshops, Internet and many other communication channels, globalisation allows the transmission of knowledge at a much greater pace than in the past. However, this does not automatically imply that developing countries succeed to benefit from technological advances. On the contrary, this will strongly rely on the nature of the technology and of the policies implemented in both advanced and developing countries.
