Abstract
Firm technological capabilities and performance will depend, in an important measure, on the presence of professional and middle-level technical skills. Such skills seem to be quite sparsely distributed in Zimbabwe’s manufacturing. In this chapter we review the results of survey questions about the existence of high-level technical skills in the firms and industries studied. The possible correlation between indicators of firm technological competence and economic performance is also explored.
