This study examined the intensity of technological innovations in
the indigenous Nigeria's oil and gas servicing sub-sector and
evaluated the factors that influenced the capability of the firms
in the sub-sector to innovate. This was done with a view to making
appropriate strategic recommendations to enhance firm-level
innovativeness so as to increase indigenous participation in the
sub-sector. The study, which used primary and secondary data
sources, was based on a sample of the indigenous oil and gas
servicing firms in Nigeria. 100 firms were purposefully selected
and sampled, focusing on the period between 2001 and 2010. Four
types of questionnaire were administered in each firm. This was
supplemented with shop-floor observations and interviews. The
questionnaires elicited information on the firms' innovation
activities and the factors that influenced these. A total of 100
questionnaires were administered on heads of Production,
Engineering, Finance and Administration in the firms out of which
70% were returned and found suitable for analysis. The data so
obtained were analysed using descriptive and inferential
statistics.
