text: Without going Into each concept In depth, It Is eesy to show that there are two arguments, both presenting analytical positions on the existence of domestic capability (and whether It leads to major or minor advances). They differ on the role of technology assimilated from abroad, and the entry of transnational corporations as to whether they are a substitute for local effort and exclude It (the first argument) or whether they act In a complementary way and give rise to local Innovation later (the second). 3. Herrera (1973) says that "for countries underdeveloped today -I.e. those which did not take part In the phases of creation and expansion of the Industrial revolution technology has become an exogenous factor In whose creation they have not part•. Merhav (1972, -. .pg.62) states that "advanced technology Is transplanted Into a backward econany (because> It Is Incapable of producing It endogenously•, and he ads, In his turn that "the underdeveloped countries depend for their growth on techniques from the advanced countries•. Monza (1972 pg. 265), says that "the economy does not create technology but uses methods of production designed In the central economies, that Is In those who$e pattern of conswa• ptlon It Imitates". O. Arango (1972 pg. 36), states that "scientific-technological dependence Is a consequence of the poor countries" Inability to develop their own technology, so they have to resort to foreign technology to promote their development•. On the same I lnes, we can also Include the works of 0 Donne! I and Link (1973), Herrera (1971), Hatty C. (1970), Teitel (1973), Patel <1972), and Jaguarlbe (1971). 4. The most representative works are, among others, those of: Arrow (1962), Nelson and Winter (1977), Rosenburg (1965), Hollan_der {1965). Although they ere subjects wh lch we wl I I not examine here, as wei I accepting minor Innovations. the 
analysis: The text appears to be discussing the relationship between domestic capability and technological advancement in developing countries. The authors mentioned are debating the role of technology assimilated from abroad and the entry of transnational corporations in promoting local innovation and development. The text does not seem to be focused on a specific sector or industry, but rather on the broader theme of economic development.
