This article explores the transfer of ideas and practices from a developing country to a developed one, adapting Boisot's codification and diffusion of knowledge and cultures to British and Nigerian industrial relations (IR). A survey of British managers reveals that North-to-South transfers dominate IR knowledge, while South-to-North transfers are persistently constrained by ignorance, paucity of literature, ethnocentrism, romance with history and tradition, political unwillingness, complexity, and cultural discontinuities. Increasing publicity, afforded by greater publication in international journals, is seen as one possible solution toward mitigating the current low rates of South-to-North transfers of IR ideas
