ADAPTING TO THE FOREIGN TECHNOLOGICAL CHALLENGE

Undue preoccupation with the domestic technology base represents at best a suboptimum strategy in the face of a continuing decline in the national investment in R&D. In view of the incipient shifting of the world technological balance overseas, comparable attention needs to be focused on foreign technological developments, and their potential for import and adaptation to help fuel technological innovation at home. A more balanced mix of foreign and domestic technological ingredients in the U.S. socio-economic cauldron promises to be more attuned to the reality of scarce domestic resources and the changing world environment.
