Factors influencing technology and knowledge transfer: Configurational recipes for Sub-Saharan Africa
采用模糊集定性比较分析，研究加纳建筑行业专家和从业者的数据，发现两条实现高质量技术和知识转移的组态路径：有效的行业机构与教育加上较少的企业拥挤，或高政府政策激励、有效行业机构与教育共同作用。
General studies on technology and knowledge (T&K) transfer to developing countries have often adopted methods that yield inconsistent results. Traditional quantitative methods, alone, have limitations in their ability to account for complex interaction between variables. This article adopts configurational recipes, using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to supplement the analysis. This research carefully and systematically selects responses from experts and practitioners in the construction industry in Ghana. The results reveal two configurational recipes for high quality of T&K transfer: effective industry institutions, education effectiveness, and less congestion of firms; and joint presence of high government policy incentives, effective industry institutions, and education effectiveness. This study extends significantly the existing literature regarding T&K transfer in developing countries in general and in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in particular.
