Kaplinsky, Raphael. "Accumulation and the Transfer of Technology: Issues of 

 Conflict and Mechanisms for the Exercise of Control." World Development, v. 4, 

 Mar. 1976: 197-224. 



Author discusses the conflicts of interest in the transfer of technology from 



developed to developing nations and suggests mechanisms which can be used 



to settle these conflicts. He believes that control of the process is "allied to the 



power to determine the rate and type of accumulation of capital."

 Lall, Sanjaya. "The Patent System and the Transfer of Technologj' to Less- 

 Dev^eloped Countries." Journal of World Trade Law, v. 10, Jan. -Feb. 1976: 1-16. 

 Argues "that the relationship between technology and development has 

 been over-simplified and the role of the instruments of transfer over-stressed: 

 that the role of the patent system in the present [developing country] frame- 

 work has not been clearly understood; and that its function in a [socialist] 

 socio-political framework is quite different [from that under capitalism]."

 1975: 317-320. 



"The uses and drawbacks of foreign capital and multinational enterprises 

 have been discussed more thoroughlj' in the past few vears also in Mexico. 

 The Third World Trade Conference of 1972 (UNCTAD III), at which 

 President Echeverria came forward with proposals designed to involve 

 foreign enterprises in the development process, and the introduction of two 

 laws dealing with investment and technology have stimulated this debate." 

 Nwosu, Emmanuel J. "Some problems of 'Appropriate' Technology and Tech- 

 nological Transfer." Developing Economies, v. 13, Mar. 1975: 83-93. 



Argues that the disproportionate ratio of population growth to economic 

 growth in developing countries requires them to employ an "intermediate 

 technology" that is labor-intensive.

 Nations from Oceanographic Institutions in Industrialized Countries: A Search 

 for an Effective Mechanism in the Educational Sector. Woods Hole Oceanographic 

 Institution, Massachusetts. (Prepared for National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

 Administration.) September 1976. 59 p. (Available from NTIS as PB-262 

 039/lSL.) 



This study examines systems of transferring marine technology through 

 education and training and suggests solutions to the problems that have 

 been the cause of failure in the process. In so doing, the nature of the educa- 

 tional institutions, both in the industrialized nations and in those developing 

 nations where they exist have been reviewed. Inadequacies have been identi- 

 fied at both levels; inadequacies that stem not only from the educational sys- 

 tems but also concerning government involvement as well as social attitudes. 

 This problem identification is followed l)y suggested solutions for each case 

 and in some instances such suggestions are supported and substantiated with 

 descriptions of cases where success or at least potential for success have been 

 achieved.
