- Resumo
- Departing from the idea that there are opportunities, as well as obstacles, for the technological development in Latin America, the article supports the thesis that the introduction in the region of new sectors or technologies may create more effective conditions for the promotion of economic development than just the reproduction of activities that are already technologically mature. As a result, the selective introduction of new technologies, by means of the strengthening of local activities of Research and Development, is considered an adequate strategy for countries that already have a minimal basis in terms of industry and human resources, capable of enabling them to profit from the new opportunities created by the revolution of microelectronics. The brazilian experience is examined, being emphasized the results attained by the industries of "professional electronics" - in which there is government intervention to promote inovation - and "consumption-goods electronics" - where both foreign investments and technology are easily accesible. The importance of independent development in Research and Development is emphasized, due to its importance for creating the preconditions for the absortion and efficient use of advanced imported technologies.
