The globalisation of technology: a new taxonomy
提出一种新的分类法,分别考察技术的全球利用、全球合作和全球产生,发现三者全球化程度差异显著,对理解国家创新体系有参考价值。
Much has been written on the increasingly international generation, transmission and diffusion of technologies, with the phenomenon having been given its own term—techno-globalism—and interpreted by some as displacing national systems of innovation and making redundant and futile any attempt by national governments to foster technological development domestically. This paper reconsiders the evidence by developing a new taxonomy and investigating separately: (a) the global exploitation of technology, (b) global technological collaboration and (c) the global generation of technology. We find quite distinct answers when the degree of globalisation is evaluated separately on these three definitions.
