| Abstract: | Based on empirical research in the city of Dalian in north-east China, this article explores the contribution of foreign direct investment to Chinese firms' technology development. The technology contribution of transactional corporations was deemed to be from low to moderate, with technology flow dominated by hardware transplants and training in basic operations. The absence of research-and- development capabilities restricted development potential, while lack of skills in areas such as marketing constituted a barrier to transfer on the software side. |
