External Technology Acquisition and Enterprise Technological development - A View of the Tacit Knowledge

摘要

External Technology acquisition is an effective means to develop technology for enterprises in developing countries. However, the technology enhancement is very limited if the external technology is just for the application. So being different from the dynamic process of technological development based on technology innovation in the leading enterprises, the technological development of enterprises in the developing countries ought to be the reverse capability building from technology application to innovation and that the key to the above dynamic process is to systematically convert the tacit knowledge embedded in the research, development and application of the external technology. So on the basis of the identification of tacit knowledge above, this paper systematically analyzes the dynamic process of the tacit knowledge conversion.
