Radical progress in the economic and social framework of developing countries can be achieved through technology transfer. However, because many different barriers exist, in many cases technology transfer has not yet become very efficient. This article discusses some barriers to technology transfer as experienced by Vietnam and suggests ways to get appropriate technology through the transfer process.

This paper discusses the aspects that comprise the appropriate transfer of microcomputers to small and medium-sized Colombian manufacturing firms. The paper draws on the experience gained from an 18-month study carried out in Colombia among small and medium-sized manufacturing firms. The paper argues that the issue of appropriateness lies more in “how to use” microcomputers rather than “whether or not” to use them. International mechanisms that could improve the “how to use” microcomputers are identified and discussed and the creation of an international center for the appropriate transfer of microcomputers to the developing world proposed.

ABSTRACT This study deals with international technology transfers. A theoretical and analytical model is presented as well as applications to real international economic problems. In the first part the author reminds the Ricardian model with a continuous of goods. In the second part, the model is applied to the study of technology transfers and an attempt is made to deal with endogeneous technological change using Pugel's approach. In the last part, the model is applied to the following questions: free technology transfer, the choice of an appropriate technology, the relation between wage rate and technology transfers.
