An Overview of Innovation Intensity in the Indigenous Oilfield Services Firms in Nigeria
Summary. This study examined innovation types and intensity across 100 indigenous Nigerian oil and gas service firms between 2001 and 2010. Organizational innovation dominated at 46%, while product, process, and diffusion-based innovations occurred less frequently. Overall innovation intensity remained low, with minimal patents granted, limited R&D staffing, and weak organizational learning. Firms reported innovation benefits mainly through profit increases, process improvements, and new product development.
