The analytical model also provides an exhaustive analysis of all critical variables at the global, regional and national levels, which contribute to failure or success of technology transfer efforts. The model is validated by an incisive analysis of technology transfer experiences of Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan (province of China), and Malaysia. While this book finds that these East Asian countries have had both diverging and converging models, and experiences with technology transfer, the enduring and fundamental aspects of technology transfer in specific industrial sectors and economic growth in these countries is then used to draw lessons for African countries. This book therefore is a timely and compelling piece of research work that provides valuable answers to the increasingly urgent question of how African countries can industrialize through technology transfer to meet their economic development and growth ideals. 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aEntrepreneurship$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514000 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aEntrepreneurship. 676 $a330 700 $aAgola$b Nathaniel O$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0933312 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254866103321 996 $aTechnology Transfer and Economic Growth in Sub-Sahara African Countries$92100714 997 $aUNINA
