Science policy is a concept whose implications are difficult to define depending on one's approach. In the First World, it relates to capital- and research-intensive industries; in the Third World, the concept refers to labor-intensive industries. Therefore, all the development policy, that is to say, of transfer, is based on the linear model of capital- and research-intensive industries toward labor industries. In other words, conceptualization fixes the dependence of less developed countries. But the latter dismiss the academic and sociocultural structures of Western and economically developed countries. The goal of this article is to suggest an intermediary conceptual model.
