Closing Technological Gaps to Alleviate Poverty: Evidence from 17 Sub-Saharan African Countries

“…This implies that Goals 7 and 8 are predicated in part on countries' ability to bridge the technological gap between themselves and other nations. The technological gap is a metric that broadly captures the difference in overall technological capabilities between two countries, i.e., in the stages of adopting various technologies (see Geronikolaou and Mourmouris, 2015;Jayaraman et al, 1997). In many instances, it may reflect the use of the recommended and the latest technologies in a particular sector.…”

Technology diffusion planning for ERP in aircraft manufacturing industry

“…It was observed [3] that absence of this capability made either the whole transfer to be a failure or led the recipient country to a perpetual dependency on the suppliers of technology. A larger degree of autonomy among participating partners of technology transfer program and heterogeneity in technological platform also added to the complexity of process in collaboration programs for technology diffusion [4] The diffusion of technology involved technical and non technical parameters among the participating organizations and industries [5] This process got more complex while diffusion was taking place from an advanced organization to a developing country organization where the organizational, informational and even the social environment might not be sufficient to adapt this process.…”

“…These cannot be achieved unless the management systems and production processes are completely conversant with the depth of knowledge required for execution of day to day assignments. [3] The ERP and MRP/ MRP-II are the key considerations in any complex manufacturing industry and their requirement is growing at a phenomenal rate.
