Abstract: Abstract Only two decades ago the search for factors determining national economic competitiveness led to the introduction of the concept ‘technological capability’. Like technology, technological capability is a complex concept comprising both the utilisation and development of technologies, either through indigenous efforts or through international technology transfers. The search for useful definitions and operational indicators has yielded an extensive body of literature.
