  • Abstract:
    Technology Mapping studies address the technology status and the technological capabilities in production sectors. The concept of technological capabilities only emerged during the last decades. It comprises the stock of national resources that can be committed to the production systems. The technology status in a sector and the technological capabilities were mentioned to be the major elements that seem to separate the winners from the losers in nations and between them. Technological capability building is seen as a gateway towards an improved production performance and competitiveness through an optimal exploitation of a sector's potential resources. It is stressed that Technology Mapping studies should be carried out to bring in the—so far missing—technological dimension in the conventional economic analyses of the production performance in sectors. The results of the Technology Mapping studies should benefit management and policy planning in an industry like the construction industry. In this thesis the results are presented of the development and application of a methodology for Technology Mapping Studies. These studies were carried out in the residential building construction sector for the lower income households in Tanzania and Costa Rica.
