    (İstanbul Gedik Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, 2024) Kless, Kouanou Klay; Gümüş, Tuğbay Burçin
    In underdeveloped regions, the effective transfer of technology and adoption of innovation play pivotal roles in driving economic growth, enhancing societal well-being, and fostering sustainable development. This thesis examines the multifaceted challenges and opportunities associated with technology transfer and innovation adoption in underdeveloped regions, with a focus on developing a comprehensive framework to address these complexities. Drawing upon a synthesis of theoretical frameworks, empirical research, and case studies, this study offers insights into the barriers hindering technology transfer, including economic constraints, cultural resistance, regulatory challenges, and infrastructural limitations. Moreover, the thesis explores the challenges of innovation adoption, such as limited awareness, resistance to change, resource constraints, and technological complexity. Through an interdisciplinary approach, this research proposes a holistic framework for overcoming technology transfer challenges and promoting innovation adoption in underdeveloped regions. This framework integrates strategies across multiple dimensions, including policy reforms, capacity building, public-private partnerships, and investment promotion. By addressing the systemic barriers to technology transfer and innovation adoption, this framework aims to create an enabling environment conducive to sustainable development and economic growth. Furthermore, this paper seeks to raise awareness about the critical role of technological transfer and innovation in driving economic development, particularly in developing countries. It examines factors such as energy supply, internet and telecommunication access, government policies, and their impact on technology transfer and innovation in Cameroon. By elucidating these factors, the research aims to provide insights into how policymakers and stakeholders can create an enabling environment conducive to technology transfer and innovation. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the existing literature by offering a comprehensive framework for addressing technology transfer and innovation adoption challenges in underdeveloped regions. By fostering collaboration between governments, businesses, academia, and civil society, this framework seeks to catalyze positive change and unlock the transformative potential of technology for sustainable development.
