"The meaning of technology transfer is so wide but mostly involving some form of technology-relatedexchange. However, in this particular paper, technology transfer is consider as a concept toexamine the process of disseminating knowledge and skills that a person owned to another personin order to generate higher productivity with new approach of producing a particular productor service. Although, many researchers have explored the evolution of technology transfer,nonetheless some drivers are yet to be explored in a Malaysian manufacturing industry. This study,therefore attempts to determine the relationship between absorptive capacity, transfer capacity,communication motivation and learning intent and technology transfer performance. A surveymethodology was used in a Japanese multinational company based in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Atotal of 117 questionnaires were received. Results show that absorptive capacity is the most significantto influence technology transfer performance."

"In this book, the capability map, a novel general representation of the kinematic capabilities of a robot arm, is introduced. The capability map allows to determine how well regions of the workspace are reachable for the end effector in different orientations. It is a representation that can be machine processed as well as intuitively visualized for the human. The capability map and the derived algorithms are a valuable source of information for high- and low-level planning processes. The versatile applicability of the capability map is shown by examples from several distinct application domains. In human-robot interaction, a bi-manual interface for tele-operation is objectively evaluated. In low-level geometric planning, more human-like motion is planned for a humanoid robot while also reducing the computation time. And in high-level task reasoning, the suitability of a robot for a task is evaluated. "

"Bertolak dari pengalamannya sebagai konsultan manajemen, penulis mengajukan argumentasi bahwa pendekatan terhadap pengetahuan lokal seharusnya mengikuti pendekatan yang dipakai seorang konsultan terhadap pengetahuan lokal yang ada pada sebuah organisasi bisnis. Penulis melihat organisasi bisnis sebagai klien sekaligus majikan, dan mempermasalahkan bagaimana konsultan melayani majikan dengan cara membantu mereka memanfaatkan pengetahuan mereka sendiri. Untuk itu ia mengajukan 'Methodology for the Utilization of Indigenous Knowledge Systems'(MIKS). MIKS mempergunakan pengetahuan klien untuk membantunya mencapai tujuan-tujuan khusus, merancang atau menemukan jenis-jenis intervensi yang dibutuhkan. Metodologi ini didasarkan pada teori bahwa tingkah laku harus dijelaskan dengan mengacu pada tujuan-tujuan yang dimaksudkan oleh pelaku-pelaku yang dipandang mampu melakukan kontrol atas kehidupan mereka sendiri. Dalam upaya mencapai kondisi yang diinginkan, pelaku mengembangkan suatu 'mental model' tentang keadaan kini dan keadaan yang diinginkan. Namun tidak semua model itu merepresentasikan realita secara tepat. Menjadi tugas seorang konsultanlah untukmemodifikasi model yang kurang atau tidak tepat tersebut, sebelum melangkah ke tahap berikutnya,yakni: melakukan intervensi. Intervensi yang baik adalah intervensi yang cocok dan 'alamiah',adaptif, 'kecil' tetapi 'katalitik', yakni memiliki efek yang lebih besar dari pada upaya yang dikerahkan."

"Using information on household expenditure from the l994Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (l 994 lDl?lS). it is found that thereis substantial variation in the level and distribution of household expenditurein indonesia. Most households in Indonesia spend more money each month forfood than non-food items. In addition. poorer provinces (as measured by totalmonthly household expenditure levels) tend to have greater inequality in thedistribution of wealth. However, in general Indonesia's is not typified by majorregional variations in the equality of household expenditure. Households withhigh expenditure levels are more likely to use contraception than householdswith low expenditure levels. In terms of individual methods, women residingin wealthier households are more likely to be using injectables and femalesterilization, which suggest that poor accessibility and the cost of thesemethods may be discouraging use among poorer women. However, implantprevalence is greater in households with lower spending levels: while pills.lUDs, condoms, and male sterilization do not have clear patterns ofassociation with household expenditure levels. As has been noted in previousstudies, poorer households rely more on public sector reproductive healthservices (family planning, prenatal and delivery services). Households withhigh expenditure levels rely more upon private hospitals. pharmacy/drugstores, private doctors and private family planning' clinics for their familyplanning care. Households with the lowest expenditure levels rely primarilyupon fieldworkers/PKLB, mobile units, traditional healers/dukuns,government health centers (puskesmas), and government health posts(posyandu). It is important to note that private sector social marketingprograms designed to offer methods through commercial outlets have beenless readilv utilized by Indonesia 's poorer households. Continuing efforts areneeded to ensure that poorer households are able to gain access to familyplanning services. primarily through lower cost public sector providers andsegmented commercial distribution systems."
