In this paper a qualitative approach is taken to assess the influence of certain factors upon the direction of economic growth and the levels of technological development achieved by the Brazilian shipbuilding industry since 1958. Its shows that technological maturation can be a lengthy, uneven and costly process. Absolute and significant growth was achieved whereas only a heterogeneous technological base has been developed. It is suggested that three interrelated factors, all evolving dynamically through the years, have influenced this apparently contradictory state of affairs: the mode of State support, the growth and technological strategies of individual firms, and the product of the technology transfer process.
