Description of the research topic:
Technology transfer is an international concern by emerging economies, developing world, and least developed economies. In terms of sustainability, every country is trying to achieve the sustainable development goals of the United Nations by enhancing capacity building within the national economy. Therefore, these two topics are of international importance for global cooperation. Considering this significance, several TT theories have been developed including those emphasising different aspects of TT. This research will try to fill the gap in the literature concerning the potential barriers of TT and, simultaneously, the opportunities for sustainable development.
It is widely recognised that technology transfer (TT) positively affects the economic development of the recipient country. This has been the case for mostly developed world. Recently there are cases in which developing countries have also been examined and the role of technology transfer been analysed with mostly favourable outcomes. However, less attention has been given to sustainable development in the recipient economy. Therefore, this research tries to investigate the role of technology transfer in sustainable development in least-developed countries (LDCs) and a comparison will be given with developing countries. In addition, this study will examine whether the process of technology transfer can be sustainable. The study of the impact of ICT transfer to the developing countries by Mulamula, G., & Amadi-Echendu, J. (2017) has provided positive evidence of such impact.
Therefore there will be two research questions for this topic:
1. Is there any relationship between TT and sustainable development in LDCs?
2. What are the possible barriers and opportunities for sustainable technology transfer processes.
