All these aspects will be analyzed in this article. This analysis intends on answering questions such as: Why do the scientific-technological policies of the most of the under developed countries don't go beyond of the written speech and be aware of their economical and social reality in order to find out a way to leave such as difficulties behind?, what consequences are the under developed countries willing to assume in different kinds of research?, Is the scientific investment as well as engineering and technological a contribution to the economy growth of these countries? First, theories that applies to science and technology in developed countries and how these are established in underdeveloped countries, are analyzed. Then, different kinds of policies of science and technology and their implications in under developed countriesare stated.
