This chapter discusses the organisational context in which knowledge is acquired in Arab countries through the transfer and adaptation of technology. The discussion considers issues such as: the importance of national innovation systems; policy and institutional prerequisites for establishing a knowledge economy; and the vital role of entrepreneurs. It reviews the experience of Arab countries in transferring and adapting technology in the past, and assesses the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) and business incubators in contemporary Arab market economies.
