Abstract

This part of the study deals with a firm-level qualitative analysis of the technological capabilities in the smaller sample of Ghanaian firms. In this chapter we present a ‘mapping out’ of firm-level capabilities. This was carried out for each of the four industry groups separately, based on the data collected in the interviews (the detailed assessment of TCs, on which this chapter is based, is reported in appendices A–D). For each of the capabilities, the discussion is divided to the extent possible according to industry. The chapter ends with a list of technologically ‘competent’ firms, whose characteristics reveal some of the main influences on technology development. The next three chapters discuss these influences under separate headings.
