The inflow of foreign consultants, specifically foreign architects is often justified on the ground of ____________
technology transfer
The inflow of foreign consultants, specifically foreign architects is often justified on the ground of technology transfer. In this sense, technology transfer is based on the assumption that the particular kind of technology involved is not yet available in this country or is inadequate in relation to the need for it. The problem presented by the dominant presence of foreign architects in the Philippines, however, is precisely defined by the fact that the technology they bring in is already available in such adequate proportion that foreign consultants compete in terms adverse to Filipino registered and licensed professionals (RLPs) and in fact displace Filipino Professional Consultants (FPCs) from participation in significant development projects.
