Abstract

This conceptual paper explores the relationship between technological innovation, managerial competency, and business performance in the manufacturing sector, focusing on Chinese companies. Technological advancements have become increasingly crucial for enhancing competitiveness in the manufacturing industry. Moreover, effective management practices are essential for leveraging the benefits of technological innovation. However, the combined effect of technological innovation and managerial competency on business performance, particularly in the Chinese manufacturing context, remains understudied. This study aims to address this gap by examining how technological innovation influences managerial competency and subsequently affects business performance. The findings of this study have theoretical implications for understanding the dynamics of technological innovation and managerial competency and practical implications for strategic decision-making in Chinese manufacturing firms.
