Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book deals with the Chinese economy and ways in which modern technology can improve its efficiency. Access to technology, especially the new technologies, will be crucial if China's modernisation efforts are to succeed. But access is only the first barrier. What is then needed is its thorough assimilation throughout the economy. China's science and technology resources are considerable but are very ineffectively utilised. A major constraint to an effective use of imported technology is the still largely planned nature of Chinese industry, the role of the defence-oriented sector and the lack of demand for technology by Chinese enterprises. The book analyses the difficulties in respect to the assimilation of modern technology and proposes ways to overcome them.
