| Summary: | Malaysia’s plan to achieve “developed country” status depends on it sustaining high
economic growth across a wide range of industry sectors. But this growth cannot be
maintained in such a competitive global environment without developing Malaysia’s
manufacturing-based economy to be knowledge-based. Success in a knowledge-based global
economy depends on a country’s ability to develop and manage its knowledge, and in
particular how organisations’ acquire, disseminate and respond to knowledge. To contribute to
an increasingly important body of knowledge in the Malaysian context, this study investigates
the influence of knowledge management on new product development performance in
Multimedia Super Corridor companies located in Malaysia. Specifically, the purpose of this
study is to (a) find out the influence of knowledge acquisition and its dimensions, employee
attitudes and opinions, financial reporting systems, and sensitive to market place information,
on new product development performance; (b) examine the influence of knowledge
dissemination and its dimensions, knowledge disseminated on the job, disseminate
knowledge technique, and disseminate knowledge technology, on new product development
performance; and (c) investigate the influence of responsiveness to knowledge and its
dimensions, respond to customer, respond to technology, and flexibility and opportunistic, on
new product development performance in Malaysian Multimedia Super Corridor companies. |
