Abstract :
The issue of technology transfer has been viewed from many different perspectives, in this case the focus is on the process of (production) technology transfer. This study on technology transfer used technology as a sensitizing concept. Four case studies were carried out in the aircraft industry. During these case studies, a definition of technology was developed and refined, in order to obtain a meaningful representation of the technology at hand
