International Technology Transfer (ITT) considered as a powerful approach of obtaining the advanced technologies that required enhancing the management and technical capabilities of the institutions and employees in emerging nations. This research aims to determine the factors and sub-factors that impact the ITT process and classify the process outcomes. These factors are formulated in a model which outline the TT process of information and communication technology (ICT) from the advanced to emerging countries. The model is substantiated and the interrelations between the model’s factors are scrutinised by considering the TT process in Libya’s ICT sector. The formulated TT model captures the most relevant factors that influence the effectiveness of the international TT process in the ICT context. The resultant model consists of four indigenous enablers and one exogenous construct namely ITT achievements. The four indigenous enables government support, transferor characteristics, ITT environment, and learning technology capability. Multiple statistical techniques was utilised to audit the significance of enabling and resulting factors involved and provided the formulated model of the international TT in the ICT industry. The outcomes disclose that the four exogenous predictors in the model, namely: TT government support initiatives (TTG), learning centres (LC), transferor’s characteristics (TR), and TT environment (TTE) are good enough to estimate the success of the TT process achievements. The model shows that the appropriate TT environment leads to a successful TT process. The study stated the positive effects of the TT learning centres (LC) factor on TT achievements (TTA). Based on this research TT can add value to the local ICT industry in four main areas, namely: Economic development - Project (firm) performance - Knowledge and technological capability improvement - Development and survive of ICT technology Small and Meduim Enterprise (SME).
