This book presents a system dynamics model with spiral loops for studying know-how transfer by multinational corporations to developing countries. The model conceptualizes the interplay of the subsidiary's absorptive capacity with technology-leveraging and technology-seeking behaviors in the knowledge transfer process, and highlights the significance of spirals in engendering nonlinearities and feedbacks. It provides insights into the unique features of the knowledge transfer process and the mechanisms underlying successful and unsuccessful outcomes, and enhances the understanding of the conditions necessary for implementing effective knowledge transfer programs in developing countries.
