‘Learning’ and the Accumulation of Industrial Technological Capacity in Developing Countries

Martin Bell

A chapter in Technological Capability in the Third World, 1984, pp 187-209 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Discussion of the role of ‘learning’ in the process of technological development is made difficult by the fact that the term is used to refer to a range of quite different concepts. In common use, the term refers to various processes by which skill and knowledge are acquired by individuals or perhaps organisations. In the context of discussion about technological development, it is often used in this way — for example, to refer to the processes by which individual enterprises acquire technical skills and technical knowledge.
