Abstract :
The paper analyzed the case of a Korean company that imported industrial technology to produce diesel engines. The main objective of the paper was to develop a theoretical model to describe the systemic nature of industrial technology transfer during a case methodology. The model has identified four systemic factors affecting the commercial feasibility of technology.
