Mansfeld, Michaela (1987): Managerial and Personnel Considerations of Ergonomics of Technology Transfer to Newly Industrializing Countries. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1023-1027.

“The importance of recognizing human factors in technology transfer to Newly Industrializing Countries and identifying the increase in complexity of these factors as the human aspect crosses cultural, ethnic and national boundaries is becoming more evident. These considerations are proving to be major determining factors of the success of the technology transfer projects. This paper cites examples and discusses such differences in anthropometrics, physiological aspects, perceptual and cognitive characteristics, and the managerial considerations of work attitudes, training, and translation. These differences need to be identified not only abroad, but also in the U.S., as business with foreign nationals done in the U.S. increases. In other words, human factors in technology transfer should not be limited to developing countries, but should also be applied to operations within the U.S., as visiting foreign nationals also need to be trained.”
