Abstract: The objectives and requirements of transferor and transferee do provide the base for the success of the technology transfer process. However these objectives and requirements are normally found to be varying from stage to stage, which altogether makes the technology transfer process more difficult and complex to get materialised. Such a situation should call for an integrated effort on behalf of the transferor and transferee to build up and maintain a strong relationship for the mutual benefit of both, through interactive and value added contacts over a long period. Although numerous books and hundreds of articles have been written on technology transfer practices, hardly any paper deals with the real issue of modelling the technology transfer process by focusing on the transferor-transferee relationship. To fill this critical gap, it has been decided to approach the process of technology transfer with a relationship perspective specific to the international joint ventures context.
