Industrial Espionage and Technology Transfer Britain and France in the 18th Century


Free Download John R. Harris, "Industrial Espionage and Technology Transfer: Britain and France in the 18th Century"
English | 2000 | ISBN: 0754603679, 1138418323 | EPUB | pages: 674 | 3.7 mb
Britain and France were the leading industrial nations in 18th-century Europe. This book examines the rivalry which existed between the two nations and the methods used by France to obtain the skilled manpower and technology which had given Britain the edge – particularly in the new coal-based technologies. Despite the British Act of 1719 which outlawed industrial espionage and technology transfer, France continued to bring key industrial workers from Britain and to acquire British machinery and production methods. Drawing on a mass of unpublished archival material, this book investigates the nature and application of British laws and the involvement of some major British industrialists in these issues, and discusses the extent to which French espionage had any real success. In the process it presents an in-depth understanding of 18th-century economies, and the cultures and bureaucracies which were so important in shaping economic life. Above all, the late John Harris saw the history of industrial espionage as ‘one means of restoring the thoughts and activities of human beings to the centre stage of industrial history’. These are the stories of individuals – Holkers, Trudaines, Wilkinsons, or Milnes – and their impact on the world.

Theory and Practice of Policy Transfer in a Changing China


Free Download Zhang Yanzhe, "Theory and Practice of Policy Transfer in a Changing China"
English | ISBN: 1844644707 | 2016 | 264 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book makes a theoretical, empirical and prescriptive contribution to the contemporary study of policy transfer. It observes that despite bold claims to the contrary, most studies of policy transfer are characterised by their mono-cultural understanding of the process of policy-oriented learning reflected in an obsession with the destination of transfer rather than its original policy setting or settings. This betrays an absence of strong comparative investigation of the process of learning. This book advances an interactive model of policy transfer networks that investigates the process of learning through three interactive dimensions: between structure and agents, network and context, and network and outcome. The book’s second contribution is the presentation of original case study explorations of the role of policy transfer in facilitating the rise of the Quasi-Competition State. Zhang Yanzhe contends that policy transfer has become a key policy instrument in the process of transition from a command to a market socialist economy, and latterly to what may be termed a Quasi-Competition State. In order to meet the perceived imperatives of state transformation, the ‘Reform and Open Door’ policy has been featured by a broad range of processes of policy learning. The third and final contribution of this book lies in its identification of the ingredients of rational policy transfer which can hopefully help guide future Chinese policy-makers to more progressive policy outcomes.

Technology Transfer via Foreign Direct Investment in Central and Eastern Europe Theory


Free Download Technology Transfer via Foreign Direct Investment in Central and Eastern Europe: Theory By Johannes Stephan
2006 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 140399952X | PDF | 4 MB
Foreign subsidiaries of multinational companies are suggested as one of the main channels of technology transfer to less developed economies. In Central East Europe their presence proved to be a decisive factor to economic restructuring and development. This volume is a unique guide to theory, method of research, and empirical evidence, for technology transfer via foreign subsidiaries of multinational companies. It combines the merits of a core text on technology transfer via FDI with up-to-date empirical evidence.
