Abstract

Less developed economies generally industrialize through a regional pattern of knowledge and technology transfer. This sequence of structural transformation is often referred to as the “flying geese theory.” Nigeria's shoe manufacturing sector provides a case study to investigate claims identifying Chinese industrialists as “leading geese.” An ethnographic survey of a private Chinese firm in Lagos and public Chinese partnership on technical vocational training in Aba support reasons to believe that skilled Nigerian shoemakers, rather than Chinese industrialists, are facilitating knowledge and technology transfer within the local economy via imu-ahia, an indigenous apprenticeship system that teaches an artisanal process to shoe cobbling in lieu of an industrial method.
