Abstract

Kajian ini menyelidikperhubungan antara ketangkasan dan pengurusan pengetahuan terhadap prestasi syarikat secara empirikal di kalangan syarikat perkilangan elektrik dan elektronik di Malaysia. Kajian ini dijalani melalui tinjauan survei, dan menerima 85 respons dari kalangan syarikat perkilangan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa amalan pengurusan pengetahuan mengantarai hubungan antara ketangkasan dan prestasi syarikat, yang sejajar dengan teori Pandangan Berasaskan Pengetahuan (Knowledge Based View - KBV), di mana pengetahuan adalah sesuatu aset syarikat. Penemuan empirikal ini menyokong konsep berpandukan teori, iaitu ketangkasan bergantung kepada pengurusan pengetahuan. Implikasi untuk mempraktikkan pengurus dalam syarikat perkilangan adalah dua ganda, iaitu ketangkasan dilaksanakan secara sendirian sahaja tidak menyebabkan peningkatan prestasi syarikat, dan hanya salah satu faktor yang dilaksanakan adalah tidak optimum.Alternate :The study empirically investigates the relationship between agility and knowledge management practices on firm performance among the electrical and electronics manufacturing firms in Malaysia.

The findings showed that knowledge management practices mediate the relationship between agility and firm performance, which is in line with the Knowledge-Based View (KBV) where knowledge is an asset of the firm. The findings also empirically support the theoretical conceptualization of agility as co-dependent on knowledge management. The implications for practising managers within manufacturing firms are twofold, where agility alone does not lead to increasedfirm performance, and the implementation of only one of the factors is suboptimal.

考察敏捷性、知识管理实践和企业绩效之间的联系:来自电气和电子制造企业的经验证据

本研究调查了马来西亚电力和电子传输公司的实证效率与公司绩效管理之间的关系。这项研究是通过调查进行的，收到了来自跨公司公司的85份回复。研究结果表明，知识管理与公司绩效之间存在关系，这与知识观理论一致，知识是公司的资产。这一实证发现支持了一个理论驱动的概念，即精确性取决于知识管理。在交叉公司实践经理的含义是双重的，即单独应用的精度不会导致公司业绩的改善，并且仅应用一个因素不是最优的。备选：本研究实证调查了马来西亚电气和电子制造企业的敏捷性和知识管理实践对企业绩效的影响。这项研究采用了一种调查方法。共有85家制造企业参与了这项研究。研究结果表明，知识管理实践中介了敏捷性与企业绩效之间的关系，这符合知识基础观，即知识是企业的资产。研究结果还从经验上支持了敏捷性与知识管理相互依赖的理论概念。对制造企业中的实践管理者的影响是双重的，单凭敏捷性并不能提高企业绩效，而且只有其中一个因素的实施是次优的。
