Preface
Access
to
science
and
technology
worldwide
is
achieved
by
active
participation in open international scientific research, as well as through technological
capability
that
is
decisive
in
catching
up
with
world
developments in science and technology. In other words, it is the "national system of innovation" which determines a country's assimilation capacity. The universities, research institutions, the technological infrastructure, industrial
training
institutions
in
schemes,
general
information
provide
the
networks
foundation
for
and a
technical
solid,
steady
development.
Therefore policies directed toward strengthening the national system of innovation important
are
essential
for
is the presence
of
a
catching-up
strategy.
But
even
skilled and experienced people
more
with the
necessary connections to the scientific and technological infrastructure of the world at large.
this applies to China
in particular. Whether or not the technological
potential will be developed,
depends on the technological and industrial
strategies promoted by the Chinese leadership. In
addition,
the
costs
and benefits
of
technological
affected by the prevalent evolutionary stage of a
development
are
country's political
framework and fiscal regime. There must be a strong coordination between overall economic policies and technology policy. A sucessful management of technology is only possible through a "technological package" including management, financial and marketing skills.
