Summary:Study analyzed how technology based frims apply resource-based theory of organizational competitiveness in Malaysia. Data has been collecteted through in-depth interviews, document review and observation. A sample of 13 companies has been adopted for study. The interplay of value creation and managerial competencies as the drivers of competitiveness to overcome business constraints with the perspective of time has been studied.

There are few firms which demonstrate the capabalities to compete globally. We propose that Malaysian companies embrace the concept of learning culture to be the driver for the attainment of high value added value creation and managerial competencies whilst overcoming the business constraints faced.
