Abstract

The key aim of this paper is to look at the role of technology in the structural change theory and to do an analysis of the success and the failures of technology within the context of the structural change theory. The paper begins by giving an overview of the structural change theory focusing on the Lewis Theory of Development. The paper cites two case studies of the introduction of one technology or the other in an economy and how that has been sustainable or not.
