Technology transfer, technological accumulation and firm economic performance: the case for Ellas

This paper empirically explores, through the detailed study of a sample of Ellenic cases of international technology transfer arrangements, the relationship between firm economic performance and firm technological accumulation efforts. The logistic regression model used indicates that from the main relevant factors that identified as significant, firms with: (a) in-house R&D activities and (b) with technological cooperation arrangements focused at the transfer of knowledge and skills, present greater probability for rates of sales growth higher than that of their respective industrial sector average.
