 Some Background InformationChapter 3 in Developing Countries as Exporters of Technology, 1982, pp 17-29 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract This part of the study presents the evidence collected by the author on Indian technology exports. The sources are diverse: newspapers, magazines, personal communication and some published data. With the exception of capital goods exports, the figures given are incomplete. The greatest gaps are probably in purely disembodied industrial exports like consultancy and licensing and in non-industrial technology exports. The direct investment information, while quantitatively not satisfactory, is reasonably complete in terms of the identity, destination and activity of the enterprises. Turnkey project data are patchy, though it is believed that most of the important exports in the non-traditional sectors have been mentioned; a number of smaller projects and projects in traditional sectors (i.e. textiles, cement, food processing) have not, however, been captured. Despite these deficiencies, these are the first data to be collected and published on this subject, and must serve until more comprehensive field work is conducted.
