Abstract

Technology transfer is a dominant factor in the economic progress of developing and less developed nations. This article traces the development of a training Institute in which computer software technology is transferred from a developed and advanced nation, Japan, to a developing nation, Singapore. The Institute borrowed a standard designed for the computer programmers and systems analysts in Japan and adapted it to suit the requirements of Singapore. The training is done in an environment which is untypical of a conventional academic college. Instead the Institute simulated an entire working environment. Using a combination of Japanese expatriates and local lecturers the Institute succeeded in training a pool of analyst/programmers and systems analysts which meets the requirements of the local computer and data processing industry.
