A Three-Phased Technology Transfer Model: Lessons from Software Technology Transfer from Japan to Korea

Software development is quickly becoming globally distributed. Cross-country-border software development that spans across country borders is a mandatory part of software production today. In order to facilitate global coordination, the transfer of technology is a key. We analyze a successful technology transfer from one time dimension and three factor dimensions. From the lessons learned, we propose a three-phase model of technology transfer and a three factor model of technology transfer achievement.
