The inter-firm technology transfer characteristics have become the vital factors in determining the success or failure of inter-firm technology transfer within IJVs. Since the current issue on inter-firm technology transfer (TT) in the developing countries is centered on the efficiency and effectiveness of the transfer process; therefore the success is strongly associated with the amount or degree of technology that has been transferred to local partners.
