Abstract

[fre] Un essai a été fait d'analyser la technologie comme système, dans le secteur des biens d'équipement. Cette analyse a porté sur un échantillon de 318 groupes de machines représentatives du secteur. La méthodologie utilisée comprend 4 opérations : l'identification des variables (80), c'est-à-dire des inputs nécessaires pour fabriquer chaque groupe de machines ; la définition technique pour chaque variable de niveaux de complexité (6) ; le choix d'une échelle de cotation et le calcul d'un indice ; la classification des variables en sous-ensembles exprimant la structure de la production des biens de capital.. Il a été ainsi possible de classer les groupes de machines par niveaux de complexité et de dégager des sortes de « lois » de composition et du changement du secteur.. Ces propositions ont servi, ensuite, pour une réflexion sur les stratégies d'entrée ou de croissance du secteur dans les pays en développement. La méthode a été testée sur le terrain et s'avère opérationnelle pour définir les orientations de développement.

[eng] An attempt has been made to analyse technology as a system in the capital goods' sector. This analysis has been elaborated by means of a sample of 318 groups of machines which are significant of the sector. The methodology used involves four operations : the identification of the variables (80), that is, the inputs required in order to manufacture each group of machines ; the technical definition of each variable in terms of complexity levels (6) ; the choice of a scale of complexity and the calculat ion of an index ; the classification of the variables in subsets in terms of the production structure of capital goods.. It has been possible to classify the groups of machines by complexity levels and to formulate what may be termed the "laws" of the composition and change of the sector.. These propositions have then been utilized for a reflexion on the strategies of entry and growth of the sector in developing countries. The method has been tested on the field and appears operational to define the development orientations.
