The whys and hows of transferring technology across borders.
1/28/2002
It is said that nations now exchange more technology than goods, so it's good timing for Michel Le Goc's look at issues and techniques surrounding international technology transfer. This isn't casual bedtime reading, but for any company or manager involved in drawing up technology exchange agreements across nations, this book is a must. The author dives into such subjects as transfer mechanisms, corporate and national culture issues, and effective strategies. His final chapter looks at current trends and predicts an increase in biomedical-related tech transfers. Le Goc is good at combining practical advice with a 50,000-foot view of the dynamics of international trade.
