Those countries that fail to adapt to the transformations driven by new technologies in industry, agriculture, health, environment, energy, education, and other sectors may find it difficult to avoid falling behind. This book represents a joint effort by the World Bank and the National Research Council to survey the status and effect of technology change in key sectors and to recommend action by the development organizations, government, private sector and the scientific and technological community.Technological innovationsDeveloping countriesCongressesTechnology transferDeveloping countriesCongressesTechnological innovationsTechnology transfer609.1724Technology and Development Steering Committee.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962017903321Marshaling technology for development4474047UNINA
