Beschreibung:
Le transfert de technologie, à partir de l'extérieur d'une structure productive nationale, nécessite la prise en compte conjointe des dimensions de l'entreprise, de la nation et du monde. Le passage d'une consommation passive à une consommation active, puis à un stade de production de technologie, apparaît dès lors comme la seule réponse réellement opérante, à l'échec du saut mimétique.
In numerous developing countries, reference to a western mode of industrialization as a universal model has led to the failure of development strategies based on mimetism. The act of transferring technology outside of a national productive structure demands taking into consideration the following dimensions : enterprise (receiving end), national (receiving country), worldwide (organization of the industry concerned). The passage from passive consumerism to active consumerism, leading to a stage of technology production, seems to be the condition necessary to a fitting articulation of these three dimensions. It is the basis of a problematics of endogenous technological accumulation, the only really operational response to the failure of the mimetic leap.
