In a rapidly changing, technically complex global economy, firms seek international linkages for the design, development, and deployment of technology. This paper examines the role of technological collaboration in sustainable development through case studies of international projects by Japanese and Canadian firms. Several indicators of a sustainable collaborative relationship (jizoku kanouna kyoryouku kankei) are described
