Buy-Back and Technology Transfer — Some Theoretical Considerations
2009
Transferring technology to an economy characterized by tight government controls and/or central planning is problematic because the lack of competition in goods markets and inadequacies in the markets for workers and managers combine to weaken the incentive structure and reduce the information flow. After examining these issues from the viewpoint of the supplier of technology this paper develops a number of hypotheses which suggest that buy-back may be a helpful means to alleviate the resulting difficulties.
Resume
Les transferts de technologie a une economie carac-terisee par des controles gouvernementaux serres et/ou par la planification centralisee sont problematiques parce que l'absence de concurrence sur les marches des produits manufactures s'ajoute aux insuffisances des marches tant pour le personnel que pour la direction pour affaiblir le systeme des primes de rendement et ralentir la diffusion de l'information. Apres avoir examine ces questions du point de vue de celui qui fournit la technologie, ce papier emet un certain nombre d'hypotheses qui suggerent que le rachat (buy-back) pourrait ětre un moyen utile d'alleger les difficultes qui en resultent.
