ndltd-OhioLink-oai-etd.ohiolink.edu-osu12827462432021-08-03T06:00:31Z Middle eastern technocrats' attitudes towards U.S. technology transfer controls Bear, Marca Marie <p>Middle Eastern technocrats represent a vital link between their countries and the global economic order. Their attitudes and priorities towards U.S. technology transfer policies and controls embody the main objectives of this study.</p><p>The attitude assessments of the selected Middle Eastern technocrats are based upon 84 in depth interviews utilizing a structured guestionnaire and open-ended discussions. The sample was drawn from the following three groups: Group One consisted of 28 Middle Eastern embassy officials, economic attaches, and spokespersons in Washington D.C. Group Two consisted of 28 financial, economic, and corporate individuals residing in the Middle East who are active in strategic alliances with U.S. based firms. Group Three consisted of 28 Middle Eastern analysts, intellectuals and opinion-makers residing in the Middle East.</p><p>Middle Eastern technocrats' attitudes and concerns regarding the U.S. technology transfer process entails two overarching issues. The first dimension pertains to external (U.S. supplier) related concerns such as U.S. Government export controls and policies, U.S. national security concerns, and U.S. Government assistance programs related to U.S. firms' export competitiveness in technology trade. The second dimension relates to internal (Middle Eastern recipient) countries' technology absorption capabilities.</p><p>Regression analysis revealed the significance of the aforementioned dimensions which affects the process of attitude formation and policy preferences of Middle Eastern technocrats. The results of the study validate the importance of the three external (supplier) export control dimensions and the internal (recipient) absorption capabilities of Middle Eastern countries relating to indigenous factors and constraints such as: available resources and oil revenues, human resources and skill formation, and social structure and modernization. Finally, the study highlights the importance of harmonizing OECD countries' export controls and creating local Middle Eastern Technology Mediating Centers to better facilitate U.S. technology transfer to the Middle East.</p> 1992 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1282746243 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1282746243 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
