By Aynampudi Subbarao

$17.50 USD

In the era of a global world economy, new technology can dramatically improve productivity.

Globalisation And Value CreationIn the era of globalizing world economy, the competitiveness of nations depends crucially on the speed of acquiring, absorbing and effectively utilizing new technology. New technology can dramatically improve productivity.

This e-book is an academic study of the process of technology licensing and integration. The book covers:

Choosing the best licensing option
The technology transfer process
Pricing and negotiation
Absorption of the technology into an existing business; adaptation to that company's needs and making the necessary improvements
