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.
