Payments for imported technologies, market‐rivalry and adaptive activity in the newly industrialising countries
研究了新兴工业化国家企业通过进口技术并加以适应的策略，分析了企业支付水平对适应性活动的影响，以及市场竞争环境下这一关系在行业层面的变化。
Some enterprises in the newly industrialising countries have recently begun to develop their technological capabilities by first learning to adapt imported technologies. This article examines two questions raised by this import‐and‐adapt strategy. First, is the level of the adaptive activity of an individual enterprise influenced by its payments for the imported technologies? Second, in situations where the importer faces market‐rivals, does the answer to the first question also apply for the industry as a whole? The analyses of these questions point to some useful policy implications.
