Book Synopsis
Using an adapted and simplified version of the technology capability framework, Rasiah (Asia Europe Institute, U. of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) examines exports, productivity and technological capabilities by comparing foreign and local firms in a variety of industries in seven countries at varying stages of development—Brazil, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, South Africa, and Uganda. The study offers insights into how local and foreign firms differ in their technological competence, what influences their technological activity, and why industrial development has succeeded in some countries and failed in others. For academics, policymakers and NGOs interested in development economics, technology policy and trade. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
