Can technology transfer or technology acquisition enable an economy skip early stages stipulated by Rostow and still achieve sustainable growth?

Please, see summary of Rostow's 5 Stages below:

Below is a detailed outline of Rostow's 5 Stages:

• Traditional society

o characterized by subsistence agriculture or hunting & gathering; almost wholly a "primary" sector economy

o limited technology;

o A static or 'rigid' society: lack of class or individual economic mobility, with stability prioritized and change seen negatively

• Pre-conditions to "take-off"

o external demand for raw materials initiates economic change;

o development of more productive, commercial agriculture & cash crops not consumed by producers and/or largely exported

o widespread and enhanced investment in changes to the physical environment to expand production (i.e. irrigation, canals, ports)

o increasing spread of technology & advances in existing technologies

o changing social structure, with previous social equilibrium now in flux

o individual social mobility begins

o development of national identity and shared economic interests

• Take off

o Urbanization increases, Industrialization proceeds, Technological break through occurs

o the "secondary" (goods-producing) sector expands and ratio of secondary vs. primary sectors in the economy shifts quickly towards secondary

o textiles & apparel are usually the first "take-off" industry, as happened in Great Britain's classic "Industrial Revolution"

• Drive to maturity

o diversification of the industrial base; multiple industries expand & new ones take root quickly

o manufacturing shifts from investment-driven (capital goods) towards consumer durables & domestic consumption

o rapid development of transportation infrastructure

o large-scale investment in social infrastructure (schools, universities, hospitals, etc.)

• Age of mass consumption

o the industrial base dominates the economy; the primary sector is of greatly diminished weight in economy & society

o widespread and normative consumption of high-value consumer goods (e.g. automobiles)

o consumers typically (if not universally), have disposable income, beyond all basic needs, for additional goods
