Transfer of Technology and Domestic Innovation in the Cement Industry

Chapter 12 in Technology Generation in Latin American Manufacturing Industries, 1987, pp 352-427 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As in many other industries, transfer of technology in cement is primarily realised via new investment in production facilities, i.e. via the acquisition of machinery and equipment either to construct a new plant or to extend or modernise the capacity of existing plants. However there are also elements of process technology mainly concerned with plant management which can be acquired separately from major new investments and which can come from different sources.
