Industrial Management This research examined the relevance of intellectual capital in the context of manufacturing SMEs in Malaysia and how intellectual capital can enhance manufacturing competitive capabilities through organisational learning capability from the dynamic capability perspective. This research also investigates the relationship between manufacturing competing capabilities and business performance. In addition, it also examined how dynamic environment moderates the relationship between competitive capabilities and business performance.

Organisational learning capability mediates the relationship between intellectual capital (relational and organisational capital) and manufacturing competitive capabilities in terms of delivery dependability, flexible product innovation and quality.
