Ergonomics, technology transfer and developing countries / Choon-Nam Ong

Sumario: Raising the quality of working life and increasing output have now become major preoccupations of governments in many developing countries. The usual approach taken by the developing countries towards achieving these goals is trough the acquisition of technology from the more industrialized countries. However, a good number of factors need to be considered when introducing new technology of developing countries. They include (1) the infrastructure and economic status of the nation; (2) working conditions; (3) social and cultural differences; and (4) matching of technology and users. In this paper, some of the problems faced by developing countries in technology transfer are discussed
