TL;DR: A survey of U.S. firms manufacturing "intermediate" agricultural technology and aid organizations operating abroad suggests possibilities for expansion in developing nations as mentioned in this paper, although a need for technology transfer has been perceived, objections to the use of business must be overcome if there is to be a meaningful transfer of technology.

TL;DR: The authors reviewed research from 1970 through 2016 on developed country multinational enterprises (DMNEs) entering and competing in developing economies and identified frontier issues that are understudied yet critical to both theorization and practice of DMNEs.
Abstract: This study reviews research from 1970 through 2016 on developed country multinational enterprises (DMNEs) entering and competing in developing economies. To identify the current state of knowledge of this research and push it further, we review the literature using bibliometric and qualitative content analyses covering leading journals and books. We articulate frontier issues that are understudied yet critical to both theorization and practice of DMNEs in developing economies. We discuss the findings and conclusions from prior research along five key areas: (1) entering developing economies, (2) organizing local activities, (3) managing alliances and joint ventures, (4) competing in dynamic environments, and (5) dealing with institutions, governments and society. We offer prospective insights into future agenda that have important implications for MNE strategies and decisions, and propose frontier directions that encompass strategic localization, reverse transfer and adaptation, co-evolution with local business ecosystems, reorganizing and restructuring, and strategic responses to institutional and market complexity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that special attention be paid to the development of marketing support service systems as highly technical industrial products are sold to China, which will at least temporarily overcome existing barriers to technology transfer and hence will facilitate smooth and enduring technology transfers in the long run.

TL;DR: The contribution of colonization, slavery, migration and discovery of cheap oil and gas to technological change and economic growth in the developed countries should be thoroughly analyzed to explain the actual process of their development as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The connection between technological change and economic growth is generally explained within a framework provided by a macro-economic production function where output depends on labour and capital. The shortcomings of such an approach are critically examined. It is argued that technology is not merely a production phenomena but embraces all aspects of human activity which should be incorporated in a technologygrowth model. The contribution of colonization, slavery, migration and discovery of cheap oil and gas to technological change and economic growth in the developed countries should be thoroughly analyzed to explain the actual process of their development. Historical experience of the interaction between crop and livestock sectors in the process of development of these countries also need to be understood for developing appropriate technology in the less developed countries.
