Abstract

High technology is becoming a great challenge and opportunity for the development and growth of national economies. In the Western developed industrial countries, it only offers the possibility of increasing the mutually shared benefit of international technological co-operation and of greater competitiveness in economic structure, but has also become a kind of instant solution to the West’s economic recession. Recently, some newly industrializing countries (NICs), particularly in South Asia, have become major manufacturers of high-tech products, albeit often for foreign companies.
