Recently, some scholars have argued that the SMEs in Malaysia have a lack of competitiveness regarding costs, products and services. Thus, this study aims to provide a better understanding of continuous knowledge sharing by determining; (1) the effects of organisational capabilities on competitive advantage among the food processing SMEs in Malaysia; and (2) the relationship between innovation, networking, financial capabilities, and competitive advantage. Furthermore, this study incorporates knowledge and skills as a moderating variable, renamed as managerial competencies which possibly strengthen the likelihood that strong organisational capabilities may lead to competitive advantages. Therefore, this study also aims to determine the moderating effects of managerial competencies on the relationship between organisational capabilities and competitive advantage. A random sampling technique was applied to collect the data from 2,384 SMEs processing food products in Malaysia. A total of 330 SMEs in the food processing industry had participated in this study.
