摘要：
Technology capabilities include various abilities from project planning to learning. In developing countries, technology transfer is often carried out in order to enhance the local technology capabilities. Through a case study of railway technology transfer to Indonesia, this article endeavours to provide empirical evidence that these capabilities are distributed among local institutions. This distribution is actually a way for developing countries to acquire a complex technological system by combining their various local resources. Since newer technologies tend to be more complex, in the future, more than just accumulating capabilities through technology transfer, the transferees will achieve more by learning in a systemic environment. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
