From Infant Industry to Technology Exports: The Argentine Experience in the International Sale of Industrial Plants and Engineering Works

Eduardo Ablin and Jorge M. Katz

Chapter 14 in Technology Generation in Latin American Manufacturing Industries, 1987, pp 446-477 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Argentina, like most semi-industrialized countries has not so far been regarded as a potential exporter of technology. On the contrary, practically all of the available studies examine its performance as an importer of foreign know-how. There is a preliminary evidence, however, that in the last few years both Argentina and other ‘late industrialize’ — Brazil and Mexico within Latin America — have began to act as suppliers of technology in their neighbouring environments. Such new developments clearly deserve examination and will constitute the subject matter of the present chapter.
