Description

This book provides an authoritative examination of how small firms in developing countries acquire technological capability. It focuses on the specific knowledge and skills necessary to operate technology effectively while adapting it to local conditions. While much of the existing literature ignores the small-scale sector, this work addresses that gap by highlighting the vital role these firms play in employment generation. The author presents a unique methodology for a quantitative assessment of the learning process. By using case material from the small-scale capital goods sector in Pakistan's Punjab Province, the text offers practical insights into how technological learning occurs in real-world settings. This is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in economic policy and development within emerging markets.
