This book presents a descriptive study of the transfer of petrochemical technology to a group of industrializing countries in Latin America. It examines the principal characteristics of suppliers and recipients of petrochemical technology in the region and their prevailing attitudes with regard to transfers; illustrates some of the main features of the transfer process; and identifies the key factors which determine the particular transfer arrangements chosen under different circumstances. The study draws on empirical research covering 280 petrochemical plants in seven countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. The twenty-six products manufactured in these plants made up most of Latin America's existing and planned output of high-volume petrochemicals (with the exception of some synthetic fibers) in 1976.

Transnational Corporations, Technology Transfer and Development: A Bibliographic Sourcebook compiles references one can use in studying transnational corporations and related topics. The compilation divides various source materials into eight major themes. The sourcebook presents publications on the development of science and technology; the International Technology Gap and the NIEO; and transnational corporations and technology. The other groups of publications compiled mainly focus on the anatomy of corporate technology transfer; technology transfer and host countries; and sectoral analysis, wherein several case studies are included. The last two sets of reference materials are concerned with technology transfer and the home country and its regulation. This sourcebook will be invaluable to those in need of lists of reference materials on transnational corporations.
