Abstract Spillovers are a positive characteristic of an advanced product. They carry extra value to the buyer and the local economy over and above the product itself. Their value, however, depends on the local receiver or commercialization competence to create a business on them. This local receiver competence is embodied in what we have called local competence blocs. The quality of the competence blocs as industrial “business promoters” varies from economy to economy. Since the receiver competence of a company is strongly related to its own R&D spending we would expect the industrial economies to be far superior in their ability to benefit from spillovers to the industrially developing economies and that the smaller the economy the larger the share of benefits drawn from global spillovers. The South African purchase of 26 JAS 39 Gripen military aircraft, therefore, offers an opportunity to compare the industrial spillover effects between an industrially developing economy and that of Sweden.
