The role of intermediaries in helping small and medium-sized U.S. firms transfer technology to new, small businesses in developing countries is examined. After introductory discussion of the compatibility of the needs of U.S. and Third World firms, the potential for and obstacles to linking firms and the study's methodology, the authors present a typology of intermediaries and an indepth analysis of their role, including, inter alia, the characteristics of successful intermediaries. The impact of world events (e.g., the international debt crisis) on the types of enterprises sought by collaborating firms is examined. Present intermediary activities are briefly described and a case study is made of the organizational and operating constraints of a sample firm. Pricing and fee issues are raised and the complementarity of intermediaries to A.I.D. activities is discussed. Case studies on various intermediary organizations make up a concluding section. Appendices include further discussion of the study's methodology, data sources, and questionnaire results, as well as examples of intermediaries working in Costa Rica.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
