Some of the criticism of Rosenstein's theory of the Big Push method of balanced development is as follows:
1. Big Push Theory can not be effectively adopted in developing countries a lack sufficient funds, skilled labor, and dynamic entrepreneurship abilities.
2. Maintaining coordination between different sectors is a big challenge, According to H. Myint, It is very difficult to coordinate various plans in developing countries.
3. Developing economy is basically an agrarian economy whereas Rodan's theory of Big Push theory emphasizes on investment in industries which is troublesome in the first stage in many countries that lack basic infrastructure, skilled labor, and raw materials.
4. The theory of the big push method of balanced development is dependent on indivisibility. Too much indivisibility will pose practical problems in the process of globalization which lay stress on flexibility and reforms.
5. Rosenstein Rodan has given limited importance to the role of international trade in development. Jacob Viner pointed out that underdeveloped economies realize greater economies from world trade independently to home investment.
