The aim of this paper is to assess the effects of technology innovation intensity on firm performance. A sample of 297 businesses funded by the Youth Enterprise Development Fund in Kenya was used as study framework. Correlation and a regression model were used for content analysis. The findings show that technology innovation intensity contributes positively to firm performance, but the entrepreneur characteristic affects the firms' innovation level. Further, the results show low profitability and expansion level among micro and small enterprises. The findings provide information necessary for competitive advantages and recommends the empowerment of entrepreneurs in technology innovation trends for their firm performance. The study endeavors to discover and advance enterprise innovative strategies that are ideally anchored in the technological, organizational, and environmental frameworks. The value of this study is on the approaches of entrepreneur capability in handling technology innovation intensity within a competitive business environment to improve firm performance.

This paper explores the impact of the adoption of Flexible Manufacturing Technology (FMT) on the Malaysian Manu-facturing Industry. The Principal Component Analysis has been adopted to extract the most appropriate underlying dimensions of FMT to use in place of the eight FMT variables owing to the potential multicollinearity. The study has been conducted within FMT intensively adopted 16 three-digit industries that encompass 50 five-digit industries cover-ing the years 2000-2005. The results obtained from the two scenarios, one, including the industry fixed effects dummy variables and the other without these, are contrasted. It is established that the model that included the industry fixed effect dummy variables has a greater explanatory power. The two principal components that account for the greater variation in FMT show positive and moderately significant relationship with PCM. The study provides sufficient evi-dence to conclude that FMT has a direct and moderately significant relationship with PCM

“…The studies show that mass customisation is the core manufacturing paradigm. The studies also showed that the crucial determinant of the successful implementation of mass customisation is the abundant use of Flexible Manufacturing Technology (FMT) [6,7]. Kumar and Desmukh [8] remark that today's customer not only expects quality, reliability and competitive pricing but also customised products with timely delivery, it is desirable that an organisation is as flexible as possible,.…”

This paper examines the impact of the adoption of Flexible Manufacturing Technology (FMT) on the Technical Efficiency of Malaysia Manufacturing Industry. Owing to the potential multicollinearity, the Principal Component Analysis has been adopted to extract the most appropriate underlying dimensions of FMT in an effort to substitute the eight FMT variables. The study has been conducted within FMT intensively adopted 16 three-digit industries that encompass 50 five-digit industries covering the years 2000-2005. The results obtained from the two situations, one, including the industry fixed effects dummy variables and the other without these, are contrasted. It is found that the model that included the industry fixed effect dummy variables possesses a greater explanatory power. The two principal components that account for the greater variation in FMT show positive and moderately significant relationship with TE. The study concludes with sufficient evidence that FMT has a direct and moderately significant relationship with TE
