“…Community development is a community work which revolves around the dynamic contribution of individuals in the developmental exercises of the community with external organizations (Ismail, 2009). In view of the above clarification of what community development is involved, it is certain that the complications of CSR on community development are numerous which has influence on customer satisfaction (Ali & Haseeb, 2019;Haseeb et al, 2018;Suryanto et al, 2018). CSR plays various roles on community development: (1) sharing the negative outcome on the community because of industrialization, (2) make a closer connection between the community and the organizations, (3) help in finding ability inside the networks, and (4) help in shielding the networks from environmental consequences (Ismail, 2009).…”

“…There are limited researches which explained the relationship between the innovation performance and market performance. However studies by Rajapathirana and Hui (2018) defined market performance as the ability of firms to gain market related outcomes than their rivals with respect to customer satisfaction, new customer acquisition and loyalty in the context of service industry (Ahmed et al, 2016;Ali & Haseeb, 2019;Haseeb et al, 2018;Suryanto et al, 2018). Gunday et al (2011) measured market performance in Turkish automotive vendor competitiveness study with total sales, penetration of market and customer satisfaction.…”

Automotive industry in Malaysia started in 1985 with the launch of the first national car. However after thirty years, overall performance of the industry is still far behind the neighboring countries like Thailand and Indonesia which ranked first and second top producers in the automotive industry. In order for the automotive players in Malaysia to be globally competitive, innovation is an important element to drive competitiveness. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the relationship between NAP strategies and innovation performance in the Malaysian automotive component industry. NAP was launched in 2006 with six main directions and strategies. Study is focused on local automotive vendor and a completed survey was completed with 300 respondents. Data was analyzed through structural equation modelling (SEM) using SmartPLS 3.0. Empirical evidence shows that NAP supports all types of innovation among automotive vendors in Malaysia. The study also found innovation mediates between National Automotive Policy (NAP) and vendor's performance except in the process innovation. This supported previous research in this area where government policy partially mediates on firm competitiveness. The finding of the study suggests NAP is still relevant for the automotive vendors in Malaysia in improving innovation and performance.

“…However, in recent years, the situation has been changing, and performance has been decreasing. In Malaysia, this industry has been demonstrating the greater growth of imports compared to the exports, which resulted in the decrease of the contribution to GDP between 2015 and 2016 (Ali & Haseeb, 2019). The performance of the Malaysian textile industry from 2006 to 2016 is presented in Tab.…”

A B S T R A C TThe textile industry is one of the fastest growing industries which expressively contributes to the economic growth of Malaysia. However, in recent years, the situation has changed and demonstrates a downward trend. The imports are growing faster compared to the exports, consequently resulting in a low contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP). To address the issue, this study aims to investigate the role of Industry 4.0 on the performance of firms engaged in the production and services of the Malaysian textile industry. To achieve the objective, this study adopted a cross-sectional research design. A survey was carried out to collect data from employees of textile firms. Results of the study found that Industry 4.0 positively contributed to the effectiveness of the production and services of the textile industry. Production and services have a positive role in the performance of textile firms. The current study provides an interesting insight into the future direction of research for studies on organisational performance, which can be extended to different manufacturing-based industries. In addition, it provides the rationale for the adoption and implementation of smart technologies in these industries. It has been found that cyber-physical systems (CPS), interoperability, a smart city and a smart product have a positive effect on production and services. Additionally, it is not possible without the effective implementation of technology. Thus, the current study provides valuable insights into the improvement of the textile industry's performance.
