Abstract
The paper examines the adoption of the innovations of the 'centre' by the Indian integrated steel industry (in the 'periphery') and lack of autonomous technological development, despite the potential, during 1970-1990. Imported technology was not subjected to any significant local adaptation and modification; further, there were hardly any autonomous technological innovations. Local ferrous metallurgical R&D, steel plant design and engineering, and the associated capital goods industry were weak and undeveloped, with tenuous linkages among themselves, and with the integrated steel plants.
期刊介绍：
The IJTG provides a refereed and authoritative source of analysis on the interactions between technological innovation and globalisation. It serves as an international forum for exchange of ideas and views on the global implications of technology for economic growth, sustainable development and international security. IJTG aims to promote communication among policy makers, experts and professionals in government, industry, academia and civil society. IJTG is co-sponsored by the Science, Technology and Globalisation Project at Harvard University"s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and the Science, Technology and Innovation Program, housed in Harvard University"s Center for International Development.
