A study on the relationship between service innovation and firm performance of logistic companies in Malaysia

The study's main objective is to examine the relationships between service innovation and firm performance through the mediating role of service quality among logistic firms. Empirical studies that analysed the innovation-performance relationship appear to focus on manufacturing firms. This bro...

In other words, the relationship between service innovation and firm performance depends on service quality. There is scarce research on service innovation and firm performance with the mediating effect of service quality in the Malaysian logistic industry. There is a need to exploit this knowledge.
