The wealth of any nation is ultimately based on its human resources and technology. The inter-relationship between these factors is especially powerful in the transfer and management of technology in less developed countries. One of the most challenging transfer methods is from one culture to another. Education and training are the primary vehicles of developing a workforce capable of receiving, integrating, and operating new technology-based systems. Therefore, it is essential for transfer agents and trainers to understand cultural variables when designing and delivering training to support the transfer process. This study identified the most culturally accepted instructional strategies associated with training in technical, management, policy, and public relations content in Africa, Middle East/North Africa, and South Asia.
