Abstract
An economic model that takes knowledge, technology and capital, as prime production factors is used to interpret the importance of technology. The model defines technology and its value, discriminating from capital thus identifying R & D as the major technology production process. It also suggests that there is a default tendency, in every firm, to technology impoverishment and capital affluence.
