Abstract
The engineering sector produces a wide array of products and provides significant technological learning avenues. This study examines the process of technological learning in small and medium-sized engineering firms in four Nigerian cities. It identifies the learning mechanisms adopted by firms and the determinants and motivation for investment. The firms studied were mostly set up by semi-literate traders showing that the learning process can take place without formal education or state intervention. Policy may consider assisting entrepreneurs to obtain more formal education to help them to acquire greater technological mastery. Improvements to the poor infrastructure would bring great benefits to small firms. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
