Literature Review on Organizational Learning and Technological Innovation and Manufacturing Performance in Malaysia

Abstract

This study attempts to examine the effect of organizational learning on technological innovation and also the impact of technological innovation towards the performance of manufacturing companies in Malaysia. Nowadays, firms mostly are operating in business situations which are competitive on one hand but unsteady, dynamic and complex on the other. Those who operate globally, the situation is even unattractive. The resource base view theory was mostly used as an explaining framework for achieving sustainable competitive advantage. Organizations develop competitive advantages through strategically developed resources over the longer period of time. However, heterogeneous results in the data analysis were observed. This paper draws a connection between organizational learning, technological innovation and manufacturing performance more widely via literature review analysis. The findings of this study appeared to be consistent with previous studies where organizational learning has a positive relationship with technological innovation and technological innovation is associated positively with manufacturing performance. Furthermore, it offers greater insights for future researchers to scrutinize in a more specific manner where it assists to groom sustainable manufacturing performance in the organizations.
