O processo de transferência de tecnologia no contexto de desenvolvimento econômico: o caso de Moçambique

Abstract

Given that technology corresponds to the way of performing a certain task or executing a production process, it becomes a determining factor in labor productivity and, consequently, in different productive processes in the entire economy. However, the fact that it is tacit in the form of knowledge, competence, skills, managerial, institutional and technical skills, its acquisition via direct contact with other firms seems to be a great alternative for most economies. under development. Because the processes of research and development of new knowledge and new discoveries presuppose high costs in Equipment, Laboratories, Research Centers, Universities, etc. and, in the same way, in the case of patent acquisition, licensing, Property Rights are, among others, some reasons that explain the importance of connections and extremities in the process of technology transfer between firms. In this context, as firms come into contact with others either through Joint-Venture, associations, Licensing, purchase and sale agreements, network connections or extremities created and developed between them and that their effects in terms of capacities, knowledge and competence can be shared or absorbed by both firms and the economy as a whole, it can be considered that there is a technology transfer process. And this process can only take place in a process of dynamic, sustainable and progressive economic development, as it becomes economic links, accelerating growth and developing the capacity of the national economy to participate in the global economy.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
