摘要

技术外包要求承担外包活动的企业具备一定的技术能力水平,进一步要求企业具备一定的技术能力。埃塞俄比亚等发展中国家的中小企业通常技术能力水平较低,可以从政府支持或政府发起的外包网络中受益。目前的研究旨在初步评估外包的绩效采取了Hibret制造和机械制造工业,一个国家公司的子公司,在发展埃塞俄比亚中小企业的技术能力。设计/方法/方法本研究采用定性研究方法,对中小企业的母公司官员和所有者进行访谈,并对这些中小企业进行实地考察。对调查结果进行组织,以便从所审查的技术外包中吸取教训。发现技术学习、新技术获取、市场准入和流程创新是中小企业参与的少数能力。为了促进和利用这些机会并进一步协助政策的批准,提出并拟订了一个概念性框架。对外包程序和偏见的进一步调查有望进一步阐明母公司的外包计划。本研究通过对中小企业的调查得出结论。对其他中小企业的进一步调查有望揭示更多的见解。在埃塞俄比亚等低收入发展中国家探索技术外包以构建中小企业技术能力的文献较少。本研究为发展中经济体的战略外包以建立本地技术能力提供了有见地的贡献。

Local industry technological capability development using outsourcing opportunities
Purpose Technological outsourcing requires possessing the technological capability level by enterprises taking the outsourced activity and further mandates build-up capabilities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in developing nations such as Ethiopia are usually equipped with low level of technological capability and could benefit from government-supported or government-initiated outsourcing networks. The current study aims to preliminarily assess performance of outsourcing initiative taken by the Hibret Manufacturing and Machine Building Industry, a subsidiary of a national corporation, in developing technological capability of SMEs in Ethiopia. Design/methodology/approach The study used a qualitative research approach through interviews with the parent company officials and owners of SMEs and site visit to these SMEs. Findings are organized in a way to draw lessons to be learned from technological outsourcing examined. Findings Technological learning, acquisition of new technologies, market access and process innovation are few capabilities achieved by the involved SMEs. To facilitate and harness these opportunities and further assist in policy ratification, a conceptual framework has been presented and elaborated. Research limitations/implications Further investigation into outsourcing procedure and biases are expected to shed further light onto the outsourcing initiative by the parent company. This study drew results from investigation of the SMEs involved. Additional investigation of other SMEs is expected to reveal additional insights. Originality/value There is a dearth of literature focusing on exploration of technological outsourcing in low-income developing countries, such as Ethiopia, to build SMEs’ technological capabilities. This research presents insightful contribution to strategic outsourcing to build local technological capability in developing economies.
