Technology Transfer and Economic Growth in Sub-Sahara African Countries – Lessons from East Asian Experience -- Technology Transfer for Economic Growth in Africa – Why it Matters -- Sub-Sahara African Countries’ Attractiveness to Technology Transfer -- Pragmatic Analytical Framework for Technology Transfer and Economic Growth -- Japanese Technological Capability Building and Management Practices for Development of SMEs -- Industrial Structure and Enterprise Networking: Learning from Japanese Experience -- Malaysian Industrial Development Experience – Economic Fundamentals and Policy -- Technological Capacity Building in Consumer Electronics Industry in Malaysia -- A Case Study of Automotive Technological Capacity Development in Malaysia -- Learning from Entrepreneurial East Asian States - Focus on Linkage-Intensive Technologies and Moving Beyond Solving Market Failure Problem -- .

This book provides a pragmatic analytical model grounded on the solid idea that technologies and the accompanying implementation efforts only make sense if they are successfully deployed in markets. 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.
