Technical Progress And Technological Dependence In Developing Economies

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the concept of endogenous technical progress and its implications for the development of emerging markets. The discussion focuses on the ability of developing countries to assimilate and adapt external technologies and the importance of building internal research and development capacities. The analysis examines the challenges these countries face in achieving sustainable technological autonomy and the impact of multinational companies on the technological evolution of local industries. The role of state intervention is explored as a crucial factor in overcoming the limitations imposed by international competition and fostering an environment conducive to technological innovation. The study highlights the need for integrated strategies, combining the adoption of external innovations with efforts to strengthen domestic technological capabilities, aiming for independent and sustainable economic growth.
