【摘要】The TP of 193 internationalized innovative ?rms/establishments in Andalusia isstudied with the data from a self-designed survey. The objectives: to identify the key variablesof TP and technology adoption and to obtain a taxonomy of ?rms, thus enabling the study of the capacity to absorb technology and to transfer this to the regional market. This paper provides thekey variables of TP, which are organizational capacity and the development of own technology.It has been established that the purchase of machinery predominates and that technology transferhas a limited effect in the region. It is noted that the classi?cations of Pavitt and Soete andMiozzo are not consistent with the performance of these ?rms in peripheral European regions.
