Exports of Technology by India: Recent Evidence

Sanjaya Lall

Chapter 8 in Multinationals, Technology and Exports, 1985, pp 131-186 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is based mainly upon the findings of a trip undertaken with World Bank support, during December 1979 and January 1980, to ‘map out’ the broad dimensions of technology exports (TE) by India, but it includes some more recent data on TE which have become available in late 1981. It extends and provides further empirical underpinning to the author’s earlier monograph (published as Lall, 1982b) on developing countries as exporters of technology. The trip was intended to be the first phase of a longer-term study of the acquisition of technological capability by developing countries. This paper does not, therefore, attempt to arrive at firm conclusions about the nature of the technological development which underlies technology exports; it does, however, report on some impressions gathered during the field trip on the technological basis of overseas activity.
