In
the 1990s the LDCs have great opportunities to exploit
new technological knowledge and it is also just possible
that this advanced knowledge with a few countries
may lead to domination over the third world. Moreover
these developments broaden or restrict the chances
of the LDCs to gain access to increasingly dense networks
for exchange of R & D, product design, production
technology, etc. The uncertain future of world markets
has to be seen along with the rise of 'new' technology
and revolution in micro-electronics, having various
implications for international division of labour.
Hence technological borrowing should be viewed as
providing a basis for developing indigenous technical
skills and not as a substitute for it. Moreover in
the 1990s, the challenge posed by the competitiveness
of the NICs has generated pressures to protect national
industries and governments are playing more important
role in international competition. This volume brings
together recent studies relating to the following
elements of joint ventures and collaborations:
1. International Implications of Technological Change
2. Concerns of Host Countries and Decline of National
Power
3. Hypotheses on Joint Venture Arrangements
4. Government Policy on Internationalization
5. Global Sourcing Networks: Some Case Studies
6. International Policy on Data Flows
7. Rise of 'New' Technological Paradigm.
