| description | t has been argued that achieving a position of competitive advantage is a
necessary precursor
to a firm's significant performance
. This paper will empirically examine the potential moderating variables that could affect the
relationship between a firm
'
s competitive advantage and performance, namely
the firms
'
age and size. By examining the relative moderating effects of these
variables, this pa
per delivers valuable information to firms, specifically with
regard to strategic management directed toward performance and attaining a
competitive advantage. This research was conducted
among
127 manufacturers
listed in the 2008 Federation of Malaysian
Manufacturers Directory. A cross
-
sectional study was conducted using a structured questionnaire to obtain
responses from the manufacturers. A two
-
way ANOVA shows that only the age of
firms is a significant moderator in the relationship between competitive
advantage and performance, and that this relationship is
stronger for older
firms
. The size of firms does not significantly moderate the relationship between
competitive advantage and performance.
Despite the non
-
significant moderating
effect of firms
'size, overall, this study provides empirical support for the
Resource
-
Based View (RBV) of Malaysian manufacturers regarding the issue of
competitive advantage |
