Antecedents of Knowledge Quality-A Conceptual Study among Malaysian SMEs

Article Preview

Abstract:

It has been an issue for all companies to obtain high quality products and services as it increases their efficiency as well as the effectiveness. By emergence of information systems (IS) the concept of quality were expanded to data and information and by virtue of this, knowledge quality as an obscure concept emerged. This research proposes to examine the essential antecedents (requirements) of knowledge quality which are functional diversity, absorptive capacity, and knowledge networks apart from investigating whether there is any relationship between knowledge quality and innovation in Malaysian Small and Medium Sized Enterprises. This study is expected to benefit the Malaysian industries economically by establishing the fact that innovation leads to success.
