Critical success factors (CSFs) framework for nanotechnology industry development in Malaysia

Malaysia focuses on several industrial areas for rapid development, through selective cores for development in all Malaysia Plans. Nanotechnology received governmental support with its first inclusion in 2001 under the Eighth Malaysia Plan (20012005). However, its development of nanotechnology has...

The state and industrial Malaysia focuses on several industrial areas for rapid development, through selective cores for development in all Malaysia Plans.

In between the two interview rounds, thematic analysis of the data collection interviews was combined with factors identified in the literature review to develop a framework of CSFs that was verified in the validation interviews. Resource Based View (RBV) theory and Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory were identified as underpinning theories to explain the findings. The final framework highlighted four element factors, namely human resource and infrastructure (as explained by RBV), and consumer awareness and regulatory framework (as explained by DOI).
