Prevention of Dysfunctional Environmental and Social Conditions in Technology Transfer

Chapter 10 in Technology Transfer in the Developing Countries, 1990, pp 129-139 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract High technology, low technology, intermediate technology, capital-intensive technology, labour-intensive technology, appropriate technology; these are some of the terms used to typify the technologies prescribed for the developing countries. The adoption of such technologies, however, seems to have generated a variety of performance patterns such that it is possible to select an empirical basis to reject or support any given technological choice. This has led to much debate on the subject.
