Abstract
This chapter presents some thoughts on appropriate technology transfer. Successful establishment of an integrated national technical basis in the developing countries requires that governmental technology policy play a key role. The main concern at present of Government technology policy must be the stimulation of flow of labor from a and b technologies, to the c and d technologies. The a and b technologies must be strongly coupled to the c and d technologies. Conservation of the dual economy in the developing countries will not help them solve their problems. Developing country planners must seek a combination of different technological levels that will lead to well-proportioned development of the technical basis. This combination could have the features, such as use of surplus manpower for the production of labor intensive production means and concentration on the import of advanced technology on key operations of the core processes.
