Abstract

There has been an increasing interest in the literature pertaining to the relationship between technological capability and performance in developing countries. However, these studies have generated heterogeneous results. This is the literature gap that this article intends to explore. The goal of this paper is to find the relationship between technological capability and performance in developing countries. Considering the diversity of quantitative and heterogeneous results in literature, we chose to use the meta-analytic method to achieve the objective of this study. We were able to correlate all of the results from 19 studies regarding more than 6000 firms from developing countries. Due to this study, two results came up. Firstly, we were able to observe that technological capability and performance are positively correlated in developing countries. Secondly, we found that one of the sources of heterogeneity in the results has to do with the existence of different variables used for measuring technological capability and firm performance.

发展中国家的技术能力与绩效:一个元分析

人们对有关发展中国家技术能力与业绩之间关系的文献越来越感兴趣。然而，这些研究产生了不同的结果。这就是本文所要探讨的文献缺口。本文的目的是找出发展中国家技术能力与绩效之间的关系。考虑到文献中定量结果的多样性和异质性，我们选择使用元分析方法来实现本研究的目的。我们能够将来自发展中国家6000多家公司的19项研究的所有结果联系起来。由于这项研究，出现了两个结果。首先，我们能够观察到发展中国家的技术能力和绩效呈正相关。其次，我们发现结果异质性的来源之一与用于衡量技术能力和企业绩效的不同变量的存在有关。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management. The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning. The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
