Notes:
INTERPAKS; Table of contents and Part IV, Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1971. 367 p., Proposes a new model of agricultural development which will include technological and institutional change as factors endogenous to the economic system. Success in agricultural growth is based on an ecologically adapted adaptation to available resources as well as a positive response by cultural, economic and political forces. Part IV (pp. 169-237) is particularly relevant to technology development, transfer and utilization research. Presents the theory and history of international technology transfer and discusses the various models. Studies of technology transfer in Japan, Taiwan and Korea illustrate these models. The last part focuses on changes in agricultural transformation and trade which are required in moving from the successful transfer of technology in one sector of the economy to success in overall development.
