Technology transfer could be so complicated at times to explore due to all the tasks require to be able to give a full analysis of what is involve and the process that one has to go through. Although many people have tried tracing the source of precise technology and how it affected the originating culture and the role it has on history. However, there are some common fundamentals that could be helpful in analyzing all the activities that are involved. Some of the clue that has been of help so far identifying technology transfer is what is being transferred, where technology is transferred from, those receiving transferred, and lastly how the technology is delivered to the receiver. To better understand how technology transfer work in this day of technology drove society, we might want to reveal how technology transfer started in the 19th century. When we look back to history, we can see that there a two major events that took place. The very first thing we saw when we look at the 19 century is the rate in which industrial technology advanced. Another event that seen apparent in technology transfer during 19th century is domination and exploitation of many africas and Asia countries by the Europeans. With all these in mind as we move into the 21st, we can see that transfer of technology is map-reading away from domination to local adaptation. Unlike the 19th where we see a lot of industrialized nations like the European dominating less industrialized nations, the 21st has experience adaptation of technology transfer from other industrialized nation. However, this chapter lists the channels through which technology is transfer. The channels are formal and informal channels. There are several procedures in a formal channel of t... ... middle of paper ... ...ct is high and the market is large. Technology transfer provides cross-disciplinary prospective for researchers to work together with other organizations. Besides that, transfer of technology alleviate the encumber imposed on natural resources through R & D by adapting science and technology proficiency. Technology transfer has its pros and cons. There is no doubt that with all these in mind, there will be people who will ignore, accept, or advocate about the idea of transferring technology. Those that advocate against technology transfer might have a personal reason why they either speak against it or refused to accept technology transfer. However, anyone either the government, company, or individual should make sure that they treat technology transfer as their key operational approach and develop a comprehensive approach to guarantee the best possible practices.
Cowen insists that “…cross cultural exchange, while it will alter and disrupt each society it touches, will support innovation and creative human energies” (275). In this section of the article, Cowen admits that the spread of culture and ideas will unquestionably cause conflict between those who support cross cultural trade and those who do not. Nonetheless, the world is evolving, and this means that older cultures and products need to make way for newer ideas and inventions. In general, parts of the world may begin to look increasingly similar as products become more widespread, but trade between cultures will ultimately “…increase diversity over time by accelerating the pace of change and bringing new cultural goods with each era or generation” (273). The new ideas that are introduced within societies increases the variety and diversity within cultures, allowing for more creativity among its

Consider for example, the radio and television. The radio and television (before the advent of the internet) were monumental in their effects on transmitting culture, products, and ideas accross vast distances of the United States. Suddenly American’s could relate to the horrors of war overseas, as well as they could learn of each other’s culture, or product. Of course, this was not the same as being able to transport them there, though newer, better, faster forms of mass transit would be developed to help facilitate just this. But all of these developments pale in comparison to almost a half-century later, with the rise of the internet, and with the increasing array uses for it, in the modern day. +++====

Analyzing the transfer of technology from one place to another can be a very difficult task. People have tried to trace the origins of specific technologies and map out what cultures it affected, why and what impact the technology had on history. Books have been written on conclusions that authors have made after doing the research I have suggested. I believe that obtaining the information to write a book about this subject is extremely hard and confusing, this is a personal assumption that I have made with regard to the fact that reading a book on this subject is hard and confusing. After reading The Tools of Empire by Daniel R. Headrick and excerpts from both Technology in World Civilization by A. Pacey and Major Problems in the History of American Technology, I have formed some opinions of my own primarily based on my readings about nineteenth and twentieth century technology transfer.
“The rate of technological progress is increasing” (Taylor n.p). The idea of technological advancement is a concept that many have come to terms with. The rate of change of technology is what many find difficult to cope with. The trend of technological advancement has defied the linear perception of time and is having an exponential growth that has left many in awe.
Throughout the chapters assigned, Dicken focuses on the patterns and processes of global shifts, on the forms produced by the globalization of economic activities and on the forces producing those forms. He builds his arguments around three interconnected processes, which in his view are the reasons for reshaping the global economic map. Those are Transnational Corporations (“TNC”), States, and Technology.
As our text explains, "The action of competitors exerts pressure to put more money now into marketing, research, and product development" (Drafke, 2009. p. 143) it is truly a never ending competition. Therefore, there are many aspects that affect the resources a business has to work with from prices of product, operating costs, payroll, and many more. The business world uses all its resources to stay on top of the competition. . That is why any business must stay on the forefront of technology, as this is a huge asset in the world today for any business. It must use technology help in managing time, cost containment, and product in order to compete in this world of overabundance
However, Derek Hrynyshy (2002) reveals that Castells study laps into the ideology of technological determinism. In his study, Hrynyshy reveals how Castells failure takes place. In the first part of this essay, I will underline the arguments made by Castells within the context of how technology is linked to globalization. Furthermore, the second part of this essay portrays Hrynyshy’s arguments that question Castells deterministic explanation about the same topic.

Technology projects can be challenging to complete on-time and within budget. Analysis of some 13,000 plus projects provides a sobering account of technology project challenges. The Standish Group's "CHAOS Summary 2009," showed that only 32% of all projects succeeded and were delivered on time and within budget; 44% were late, over budget, and/or with less than the required features and functions. An astounding 24% of the projects examined failed, were cancelled prior to completion, or delivered and never used.

Effective knowledge transfer through a conversion of tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge can build a sustainable capacity to innovate within an organization and gain an external competitive advantage.
A movement of industrialization transformed nations everywhere. Many countries experienced social and economic prosperity in this period known as the Industrial Revolution. The people of these countries also experienced change (Jacob, par. 1-5). Prior to the revolution, life for many was much different, allowing for many changes to occur; innovations reached several countries involved in this movement, and the lives of the citizens were largely impacted both positively and negatively.
Technical inventions were made at the end of 18 century just because conditions of that period forced people to look for solution of problems of mass production of goods that accumulation of the capital reached level at which began possible completely to use methods of mass production.
Transference means to attempts to shift the risk to other assets, other processes, or other organizations.
