Abstract
In this study we developed a model of the dynamic capability development
mechanisms in Emerging Market manufacturing Firms (EMF). We identified three dynamic
capability development mechanisms: organizational learning, reverse engineering, and
manufacturing flexibility. We generated hypotheses based on this framework, linking these
mechanisms with firm performance. We also modelled the roles played by managerial use of
two types of government policies: input supporting policies and marketing supporting policies.
We tested our hypotheses on a sample of Indian and Pakistani manufacturing firms. Results
showed that organizational learning, reverse engineering and manufacturing flexibility had
significant impacts on EMF performance. Additionally, organizational learning combined
with input supporting government policies enhanced performance, and the combination of
manufacturing flexibility and marketing supporting government policies had an insignificant
influence on performance.
