Access to science and technology worldwide is achieved by active participation in open international scientific research, as well as through technological capability that is decisive in catching up with world developments in science and technology. In other words, it is the "national system of innovation" which determines a country's assimilation capacity. The universities, research institutions, the technological infrastructure, industrial training schemes, information networks and technical institutions in general provide the foundation for a solid, steady development. Therefore policies directed toward strengthening the national system of innovation are essential for a catching-up strategy. But even more important is the presence of skilled and experienced people with the necessary connections to the scientific and technological infrastructure of the world at large. this applies to China in particular. Whether or not the technological potential will be developed, depends on the technological and industrial strategies promoted by the Chinese leadership. In addition, the costs and benefits of technological development are affected by the prevalent evolutionary stage of a country's political framework and fiscal regime. There must be a strong coordination between overall economic policies and technology policy. A sucessful management of technology is only possible through a "technological package" including management, financial and marketing skills.

Examining the flow of technical knowledge between the US, Taiwan and Mainland China over the last sixty-five years, this book shows that the technical knowledge that has moved between these states is vast and varied. It includes the invention and production of industrial goods, as well as knowledge of the patterns of corporate organization and management. Indeed, this diversity is reflected in the process itself, which is driven both by returning expatriates with knowledge acquired overseas and by successful government intervention in acquiring technology from multinational firms. Technology Transfer Between the US, China and Taiwan engages with the evolving debates on the merits, importance and feasibility of technology transfer in the process of economic development globally, and uses the example of Taiwan to show that multinational corporations can indeed play a positive role in economic development. Further, it reveals the underlying tension between international cooperation and nationalism which inevitably accompanies international exchanges, as well as the delicate balancing act required between knowledge acquisition and dangerous levels of dependency, and the beneficial role of the US in East Asia’s technological development. With contributors from disciplines ranging from history, geography, urban planning, sociology, political science and electrical engineering, this multi-disciplinary book will be of great interest to students and scholars working across a broad range of subjects including Taiwan studies, Chinese studies, economics, business studies and development studies.

Technology transfer studies are usually framed through Economics and Management Sciences, but this volume Geography of Technology Transfer in China seeks to reveal the mechanism of technology transfer from the geographical perspective. It not only depicts the spatial evolution laws of glocal technology transfer networks, but also uses regression models to uncover the two-way effects between the networks and innovative capacity. In addition, this book highlights the integration and interaction of networks on both the global and local scales. A theoretical framework on glocal networks of technology transfer is established based on a series of economic geography bases in order to depict the spatial differences and coupling mechanism among multi-scaled networks in China.This book consists of 5 parts and 10 chapters, which illustrate the background, theoretical basis, spatial evolution, dual-way influences, and policy implications of technology transfer in China, presenting a clear structure both theoretically and empirically. The book begins with the 'what', 'why', and 'how' questions behind geographical studies on technology transfer to clarify the purpose of the book and its differentiation from present technology transfer studies. Thereafter, it discusses the 'holy trinity' framework of glocal technology transfer networks consisting of cultural, territorial, and networked subsystems. To this end, the spatial evolution of the technology transfer is highlighted through soical network analysis, which aims at depicting the geographical rules of China's technology transfer networks at global, domestic, and regional scales. Based on these discoveries, the next part of the book further analyzes, through a series of regression models such as ERGM and NBRM, the kinds of determinants which have influenced the network size and how the network has in turn affected local innovation capacity . Lastly, the policy implications connect the findings of empirical studies with the operability of the national innovation system. On the whole, this book extensively covers the theoretical, empirical, and practical applications of the geography of technology transfer in China.

The Science and Technology policy changes in post-Mao China cannot be complete without a historical narrative and analysis of Science and Technology in its pre-policy (prior to 1850) and policy (since 1850 when the Qing rulers began to promote Science and Technology ) periods. This book is an imperative to revisit and interrogate the nature and scope of Chinese Science and Technology policy and progress. The text is divided into three parts. The first part considers both the macro and micro issues pertaining to Science and Technology policy in general and also of the policiy in particular. The second part highlights the historical narrative of Chinese Science and Technology policy as it has a key role in the evolution of contemporary Science and Technology architecture. The third part discusses three focal components of the Chinese Science and Technology system each representing state, society and international systems - the organizational structure representing the state; the research system representing society; and technology acquisition representing the international system with serious implications for China.

With special reference to the reform policy and the encouragement of foreign direct investment, Chinese and British social scientists examine recent developments in the scientific policy, research and development, and technology transfer in the People's Republic. They consider case studies in Japanese technology transfer with implications for China, the experience of technical progress and technology transfer in the Soviet Union 1917-87, the adoption of innovations and the assimilation of improvements, Sino-Japanese technology transfer and its effects, export performance, and other topics. The 11 papers were presented at an April 1995 seminar in Beijing. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
