The purpose of this study was to examine the attitude of students and staff, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control effect of technological capability perception towards sustaining competitive advantage and change management in DRB-HICOM University. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) was adopted with the introduction of technological capability perception as the moderator in this study.

A focus group interview was conducted among the staff, for qualitative data, and ATLAS.ti was used to analyse the data. The quantitative data showed that students’ attitude and subjective norms have a positive relationship. Meanwhile, perceived behavioural control has a negative relationship with intention of DRB-HICOM University to sustain competitive advantage. The qualitative data collected also found that attitude and perceived behavioural control have a positive relationship and subjective norms have a negative relationship with intention of DRB-HICOM University to sustain competitive advantage.
