The four phases of modernization proposed by economist Walt Rostow in 1960 are:
- "Pre-condition": or need for an improvement in the way a particular activity is being done in society.
- The "pre-condition takes off": Efforts targeted to assess this need start, including the production of raw materials and knowledge developments.
