The role of the management factor in technology transfer is studied. The effects of the social and cultural environments of Industrially Developing Countries (IDC) in terms of the variables influencing managerial effectiveness is also examined. An efficient and novel method for job analysis (i.e., Job Profiling) which incorporates the above variables is introduced and its theoretical foundations is discussed. Based upon the findings of a presented case it is concluded that, the Job Profiling method has to be integrated with selection criteria and should be used in conjunction with focused selection techniques to ensure the optimal match of the managers working in the IDC and their jobs.

Environmentally Sound

This article demonstrates why Global Climate Funds might establish unexpected barriers to transfers of Environmentally Sound Technologies (EST) to developing countries rather than facilitating them. During political dialogues, developing countries frequently stress their discontent regarding Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protecting EST. A typical objection raised by the Group of 771 and China reads: “The present restraint on access to advanced technologies, imposed particularly by the IPR regime, need [sic] to be lifted, […].” The Group of 77 and China expect developed countries to facilitate technology transfers and to provide other assistance by various financial and regulatory means. The proposed measures include a Global Climate Fund. At first, this article identifies the relevant actors’ interests and, to demonstrate that inter-governmental measures for tackling the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) problem are justified, carry out an analysis according to the behavioural model of the homo oeconomicus institutionalis. After that, it examines the role of IPR in the context of transfers of EST to developing countries. This article also deals with the question of what the overall objectives of technology transfer measures are and why the proposed Global Climate Fund might not be an adequate instrument for facilitating these transfers.

Technology Transfers

This chapter highlights the role of technological assistance and transfers in international environmental law. At its heart, technology transfers aim to address the inequitable distribution of costs and benefits that have occurred between developed and developing countries under conventional patterns of economic growth. This has been reflected through a range of international environmental law instruments. However, despite the prevalence of technology provisions in international environmental law, there remains a lack of effective implementation. This can be attributed, in part, to the tension between technology transfers and the protection of intellectual property rights. Direct confrontation between the intellectual property and technology transfer regimes has been side-stepped, but there remains a strong need to seek complementarity between the two systems.

That entrepreneurship is vitally important to the economic development of a nation Is Indubitable. However, divergent approaches to promoting and fostering entrepreneurial development in the developing countries have been suggested. This paper explores the role of technology transfer to promote entrepreneurship in the LDCs. We argue that entrepreneurial development depends, among other things, on the technology content and context, mode of technology transfer, the recipient country's level of economic development, and the absorptive capacity of local firms. Propositions and implications are offered to guide future research and practice in international entreprenuership.

Innovation Model

In this paper, the role of a matchmaker in transferring climate technologies to developing countries was explored from the perspective of open innovation. As the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s Technology Mechanism, the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) has strong convening power amongst the stakeholders who are responsible for climate actions in their country. Our research identified that the CTCN has successfully provided “4 openness” models (open network, open request for Technical Assistance, open technology transfer and finance, and open knowledge for the public) to global partners through its technical assistance (TA) services. Then, on the basis of previous empirical Technical Assistance data and network management a new open innovation model was proposed by considering the CTCN matchmaking activities with key stakeholders (innovation networks) during the climate technology transfer processes. This model explains that the role of the CTCN and innovation networks such as academia/research institutions, governments, and the private sector can be interpreted as outside-in innovation at the first technology outsourcing stage, coupled innovation at the second technology research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) stage, and inside-out innovation at the third technology diffusion stage. Moreover, further matchmaker’s approaches for supporting developing countries to establish a conducive and sustainable innovation system were suggested for the extension of our new model.
