ABSTRACT
This a response to Professor Nicholas Capaldi’s reflections on Professor William E. Kilbourne’s discussion of dominant social paradigms and government technology transfer programs in this volume. Dr. Kilbourne notes his agreement with Dr. Capaldi on most points, and reiterates his position, in his view consistent with Dr. Capaldi, that difficulties of cross-cultural technology transfers cannot be overcome by “persuasion,” and that cultural adaptation must involve a gradual process of successive technology transfers and the development of institutions that further develop technologies with consideration of the needs of users.
