International Forum on Appropriate Industrial Technology Held at New Delhi/Anand, India on November 20-30, 1978. Basic Materials Industries: Aspects of Technology Choice and Industrial Location

摘要

Consideration is given to the interaction of technology-choice with the locational pattern of basic materials industries. In the first place, it concerns the choice of a primary technology stream among a number of interactive technological patterns; subsequently, the development of an optimal technological structure within a particular section is described; then, the choice of plant level amongst alternative technological options is considered. Reference is made to various sectors of current interest in advancing technological progress in developing countries in the context of a broadbased industrialization and balanced socio-economic development approach.
