International transfer of technology system

The nature, cost, and impact of the complex phenomenon of international transfer of technology have been studied at some length, but those concerning the transfer process have yet to draw adequate attention. This paper attempts to describe the international transfer of technology process at a microenterprise level with the help of the systems approach. The causal interrelationship between these elements and their components is argued. Next, the mode! is utilized to analyze an actual case of technology transfer. There, the particular systems output performance is evaluated, and the behavioral abnormalities are explained against the peculiarities of its internal structure. The paper thus demonstrates the use of the system in analyzing the process of international transfer of technology. The case study also identifies the implications of various dements of the internal structure on the overall performance of the system.
