Technology Transfer, in order to be effective, must be preceeded and succeeded by technology
assessment and refinement. How reliable has the assessment and refinement can be judged by
the effectiveness of transfer of a given technology. Therefore, technology assessment and
technology transfer are complementary to each other. The importance of what happens prior to
the beginning of a technology’s diffusion is important. The problem particularly related to the
technology and information management by and between research, extension and client systems
remains to be understood.
