This article examines the role of James Burton in the diffusion of military technology in the mid-19th century. Burton worked as the Master Armorer at the Harpers Ferry Armory, as a contractor in the Connecticut Valley, and as an engineer at the Enfield Armory. At each location he incorporated the latest ideas of the American System of Manufacturing. Not only did he transmit new ideas, he visited, studied, and learned from his international peers. When the American Civil War began, he joined the Confederate Ordnance Department and helped the South continue a long and destructive war. The new technological ideas—bred out of necessity of war—continued to help shape the creation of a New South. After the war, Burton influenced weapons manufacturing in Russia, Italy, Turkey, and Egypt. The ideas that Burton helped implement is a case study of international technological diffusion.

Technological Diffusion

The international migration of the diesel engine provides a valuable case study in the interrelationships of entrepreneurship and innovation. As Mr. Lytle demonstrates, however, the introduction of the engine into the United States was far from efficiently managed and the process of technological diffusion was much slower and strained than it might have been.

From the decades that followed the II World War, the automotive sector has been rebuilt as one of the pillars of global capitalism. With an elevated level of concentration and working in global scale, the automotive sector has been a major vector of technological diffusion and it demonstrates a notable capacity to absorb technology from other industries. This paper discusses some conclusions of the book published by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, named The automotive sector in emerging economies: industrial policies, market dynamics and trade unions – trends & perspectives in Brazil, China, Mexico and Russia. ..

Factors Of Production

The study analyses the longterm trend in knowledge diffusion and productivity growth in Nigeria, using a translog specification. The results indicate the need for technological upgrading and emphasized that policies designed to promote technological development should address the complementarities between ‘different factors of production. The article, thus, provides some support for the argument that total factor productivity (TFP), as a technological knowledge, can impact significantly on productivity in a developing economy like Nigeria.
