Technology Transfer 4
Technology Transfer 4 : This term is used to characterize "the transfer of knowledge generated and developed in one place to another, where is it is used to achieve some practical end." Technology may be transferred in many ways: by giving it away (technical journals, conferences, emigration of technical experts, technical assistance programs); by industrial espionage; or by sale (patents, blueprints, industrial processes, and the activities of multinational corporations). Also, the transfer of technology mandated as part of a Countertrade or offset agreement, other than co-production or license production.
