Abstract
Problem statement: In Libya, like most petroleum producing countries, attempts began to develop the petroleum industry through several frames of Technology Transfer (TT). The realization of TT is progressively more forecasted with a starting point of essential factors mainly government support, Knowledge base, environment, Willingness to learn and anticipated to rely more on these factors further in the future. Approach: This study evaluated the degree of significance for the government support, knowledge base, environment and the willingness to learn after years of implementing industry standards, importing technology and training employees and joint ventures with advanced companies were applied to the Libyan petroleum industry. Results: The TT performance factor measurements were derived from a questionnaire survey conducted recently on the Libyan petroleum industry, which involved in TT process. With response rate of 68.35%, the findings showed that the TT performance correlates with the level of readiness of environment, knowledge base, willingness to learn factors and the influential role of government support factor in the Libyan petroleum industry. Conclusion: Hence, results implied or even established that successful performance of TT, which able to cultivate petroleum industry employees can provide a broader spectrum of benefits to the petroleum industry.
Highlights
Over the last 40 years, the fast growing petroleum producing countries has experienced rapid petroleum industrialization and economic growth
Technology Transfer (TT) is touted as a key objective of large petroleum infrastructure projects, they are often commissioned without any structured policies or guidelines for measuring the rate of TT diffusion to the Libyan petroleum professionals, companies and the industry at large
This study is consisted of a set of enablers including: Government Support, Knowledge Base, Environment and Willingness to Learn and aimed to measure the TT performance
Summary
Over the last 40 years, the fast growing petroleum producing countries has experienced rapid petroleum industrialization and economic growth. Whilst many of these studies were developed for the business and manufacturing sectors, the author is not aware of any comprehensive TT model developed for examining TT on petroleum industry[1]. Such a model would need to be developed through a process of justifying, grouping, linking and refining factors established across a number of different industry sectors. Model findings maybe considered biased because it was based on only two Taiwanese manufacturing companies and designed to study long term management practice, failing to detail sufficient description of important TT factors. This study is consisted of a set of enablers including: Government Support, Knowledge Base, Environment and Willingness to Learn and aimed to measure the TT performance
