Determinants and Consequences of Indigenous Technological Activity

Gustav Ranis

A chapter in Technological Capability in the Third World, 1984, pp 95-112 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Our basic premise is that to the extent that any one dimension is ‘key’ to the successful application of technology in the development context, it is the quality of indigenous technological activity that counts the most. Moreover, though demonstrably more difficult, we hope to be able to maintain this premise even as we descend from generalities to address the more specific linkages with other dimensions of the complicated technological ‘ball of wax’.
