Expanding Market Share: The Role of American Corporations in Technical Assistance

Abstract

As their domestic markets have declined, many multinational and domestic American corporations have begun to emerge as new providers of training and development services to Third World technical assistance programmes. These activities have been sponsored by direct contracts with developing nations or through governmental organisations such as the Agency for International Development, the World Bank, and others. Distinguished from consultant firms and private voluntary organisations, American corporations such as Bechtel, Singer, RCA, and Westinghouse have become a new provider constituency in foreign aid.
