Environmental leapfrogging in developing countries: A critical assessment and reconstruction (2003, background): “Thus, critics point to the fact that internalized modes of technology transfer by TNCs result in less technological learning than externalized ones, involving the purchase and/or licensing of foreign technology by local firms(9) (Pack and Saggi, 1997; Lall and Pietrobelli, 2002).”
The technological capabilities of nations: the state of the art of synthetic indicators (2009, methodology): “This indicator, inspired by Sanyaya Lall [13,38] and his colleagues, is the result of two sub-indicators: the Industrial-advance indicator (Ind-Adv) and the Tech-Adv.”
Best channels of academia–industry interaction for long-term benefit (2012, background): “However, it is broadly recognized that PRO have evolved at a different pace and with only limited interaction with other agents in developing countries (Cimoli, 2000; Lall and Pietrobelli, 2002; Cassiolato, et al., 2003; Muchie, et al., 2003; Lorentzen, 2009; Dutrénit, et al. 2010b).”
A New Indicator of Technological Capabilities for Developed and Developing Countries (ArCo) (2004, unknown): “Still, the notion of national systems of innovation (see Andersen, Lundvall, & SorrnFriese, 2002; Edquist, 1997; Freeman, 1997; Lundvall, 1992; Nelson, 1993) indicates that it makes sense to analyze the technological capabilities of territorial states, since these provide one of the main institution”
Global Value Chains Meet Innovation Systems : Are There Learning Opportunities for Developing Countries? (2010, background): “This has led some authors to propose the term “National Technology System,” since the bulk of technological activity in developing countries concerns absorption of and improvement to existing technologies rather than frontier innovation (Lall & Pietrobelli, 2002, 2003, 2005).”
Latecomer firms and the emergence and development of knowledge networks: The case of Petrobras in Brazil (2009, background): “More often the picture has been negative’, with observations suggesting that such paths of develpment have been absent, limited or even reversed – e.g. Hou and ee (1993), Kim (1993), Alcorta and Peres (1998), Liu and White 2001), Lall and Pietrobelli (2002), Lemos et al. (2003) or Szapiro 2003).”
The globalisation of technology and its implications for developing countries: Windows of opportunity or further burden? (2003, background): “However, what is less expected is that their lead rises with technological complexity, to reach its peak for high-technology exports ([28], Chapter 2, [57]).”
