The Role Of Transformational Knowledge Engineering In A Malaysian Organization

Abstract

The increase in technological diversifications creates a need for organizations to develop new practices by reviewing and integrating the key aspects of the older ones. In the same way, this study aims to examine the role of a new and improved hybrid practice known as transformational knowledge engineering in a Malaysian semiconductor manufacturing organization. A total of 226 survey responses were collected back and analysed using correlation and multiple linear regression analyses. The results showed that the relationship between transformational knowledge engineering and engineering performance was stronger than that of other individuallytested relationships. Top management should consider exploring more opportunities in this new concept and develop tactical strategies based on transformational knowledge engineering. The results can be potentially used as key implications for the engineering management practice and research in organizations. Further research in this area is required to validate the use of this model as a new sustainable competitive advantage for organizations.
