Author

Abstract

Less developed countries (LDCs) need appropriate information technology to support indigenous scientific and technical activities. The importance of information to scientific and technical achievement has already been recognized. Still lacking is a systematic approach to information technology transfer which considers the specific socioeconomic conditions of the recipient country. The author suggests adaptation of general systems methodology to the design of technology transfer mechanisms. Prior research is required into areas such as the determination of levels and interaction of socioeconomic conditions and the information infrastructure.
