Subject [Workshop] "Technology capability upgrade and sectoral catch-up(#2), December 3
Contents About the Workshops
This series of workshops explores the major issues related to the technology upgrading of emerging and catching up economies. Ultimately, technology upgrading is the precondition to improved standards of living of emerging economies as well as to sustainable development and the greening of the world economy. In a series of five workshops, we discuss the state-of-the-art understanding of the issues around technology upgrading and economic catch-up. We explore country, sector and firm-level issues based on a variety of country experiences; we examine the issues of technology upgrading in the context of inclusive development and green growth as well as policy issues that these processes entail.

The background for individual workshops are contributions in the forthcoming Oxford University Press volume "The Challenges of Technology and Economic Catch-Up in Emerging Economies" edited by Jeong-Dong Lee (Seoul National University), Keun Lee (Seoul National University), Dirk Meissner (Higher School of Economics - NRU), Slavo Radosevic (University College London), and Nicholas Vonortas (George Washington University/University of Campinas).


Online Workshop #2
"Technology capability upgrade and sectoral catch-up: what explains successes, failures and challenges?"

The workshop explores why technology upgrading is a complex and historically contingent process where outcomes are dependent on a variety of mutually interrelated factors whose consequences are far from certain. Strategic intent may not suffice unless there is a required level of technological capabilities complemented by the robust mechanism for rapid technological transfer. How can we explain failures in the cases of with strong market and institutional ¡®windows of opportunity¡¯? In other cases, technological capability and even forging ahead may emerge as a bottom-up strategic response to changing ¡®windows of opportunity¡¯ which employ a variety of technology acquisition mechanisms. How do we explain unexpected success stories of technology upgrading in emerging economies? Furthermore, technology accumulation strategies fit for ¡®catching up¡¯ stages may not suffice for post-catching stages which require a new level and quality of capabilities which go beyond technology capabilities. What are lessons from the cases of post-catchup failures?

Those are some of the questions we will be dealing with on December 3.
