“…Technology transfer has long been regarded as an effective facilitator of technology development for late industrialising countries (Chanaron & Perrin, 1987). The process involves the acquisition of technological knowledge or know-how, generated by one group or institution to be embodied in the operations of the recipient organisation (Teece, 1977).…”

Wong et al.This paper presents the results of a study of intra-firm learning in Taiwanese information technology firms. Focusing on 100 effective and less effective projects within 49 companies, the research finds that firms with a high level of absorptive capacity are able to transfer technology more effectively. Effective projects display lower barriers to the internal diffusion of the acquired technology, thereby encouraging intra-firm learning. Furthermore, learning, both at an individual and group level, is found to have a significant influence on the outcome of a technology transfer project. In effective projects, particular emphasis is placed on an informal, hands-on approach to training and learning.
