Japan's postwar experience with technology transfer / by James Thomas Goode, B.A., University of British Columbia, 1972.: C54-1/54-1975E-PDF

"The international transfer of technology is increasingly seen as a major element in economic development for both the developed and less developed countries. The thesis examines Japan's postwar economic development end the role played in that process by imported, foreign technologies. The discussion focuses on commercial transfers of technology and, because of the frequent close connection between technology transfer and foreign direct investment, there is considerable discussion of foreign direct investment in Japan. The paper is based on an extensive review of existing government and non-government material in both Japanese and English and on a series of interviews with Japanese government and business officials involved in postwar transfers. In addition, three case studies of technology transfers were carried out and are included as appendices"--Abstract, page i.
