Skills and Technological Capability

Simon Teitel

Chapter 10 in Technology and Skills in Zimbabwe’s Manufacturing, 2000, pp 94-104 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Firm technological capabilities and performance will depend, in an important measure, on the presence of professional and middle-level technical skills. Such skills seem to be quite sparsely distributed in Zimbabwe’s manufacturing. In this chapter we review the results of survey questions about the existence of high-level technical skills in the firms and industries studied. The possible correlation between indicators of firm technological competence and economic performance is also explored.
