Technology Gap

Chapter Chapter 3 in The Growth of Chinese Electronics Firms, 2014, pp 55-75 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter verifies that a technology gap between indigenous and foreign firms exists.1 As stated in the previous chapters, if technologies diffuse from developed countries to developing ones through international economic activities, then globalization will make a positive impact on developing countries and their firms. On the other hand, if technologies do not diffuse, then globalization will make a negative impact on them. By showing the relationship between globalization and its negative impact, we conclude that technologies do not always diffuse in globalization and that there might be a technology gap between indigenous and foreign firms.
