Host:
This article is predicated on university–industry interaction as a precursor for knowledge-based economic development in Nigeria. It is a preparatory pilot study for full-fledged Ph.D. research, highlighting the collaboration within two universities and six knowledge-intensive firms. The firms are software and hardware development companies located in Maiduguri and Kano, both in Northern Nigeria. A conceptual framework was designed based on the national innovation system (NIS) to measure the intensity of the collaboration, possible innovation output and knowledge flow between the universities and industry. Findings show a limited partnership due to factors inhibiting the relationships, such as communication problems, trust issues, lack of motivation, different orientations of the organizations and different research orientations.
