Newly developed technology is being obtained by the developing countries from the developed countries
to achieve their nation's competitiveness and sustainable socio economic development. For general
technology transfer activities technology transfer model is being used by this developing nations. This
research was carried out to find out the applicability of already developed technology transfer models to
Sri Lankan apparel industry. For the research, deductive research methodology was used with the
participation of twenty and only selected sample populations.//
During the literature survey process, literatures about several technology transfer models were found and
consequences of transferring technology using these models were analyzed .Certain technology transfer
models were used to hardware, hurnan ware, orga ware and in for ware technology transfer (integrated
technology transfer) activities, while some model shave given much concern about individual technology
component transfer process.//
Sample population has been divided in to two groups as large scale companies and small &medium scale
companies. In large scale apparel manufacturing sector, it was observed that these companies generally
abide to certain dynamics of already developed technology transfer model. It seems that these companies
follows the technology planning ,technology transferring and technology post implementation phase of
already developed model .In small and medium scale companies, it was observed totally negative result
with respect to technology planning phase while saw adequate involvement with technology transfer
phase and post technology implementation phase. On the other hand, results show that both large
scale and small & medium scale companies do not follow, before and after technology transfer
requirement like technology capability assessment and technology benchmarking respectively.//
Based on this finding and the conclusion, it is recommended that to use the integrative technology transfer
model during the technology transfer activities, to bring about the all component of technology transfer
during the technology transfer process. |
