COMMERCIALIZATION OF INVENTIONS AND TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE ASIAN COUNTRIES

摘要

Building a High-Tech Innovative Culture in Malaysia. Much reliance has been placed on the manufacturing sector to achieve the economic targets of Malaysia. For this sector to play the role of the engine of growth, it must continue to diversify, seek product definition, be export-oriented and above all be competitive. There is only one way that the above can happen: through wider application of technology. Currently, the technological capability of the manufacturing sector is almost entirely held by large multinational companies that have located their operations in Malaysia. However, there are also a limited number of local companies which have developed technologically through direct or indirect technology transfer from those multinationals.
