Subsequently, this study will try to fill the gap from the perspective of Resource-Based View (RBV) and Knowledge-Based View (KBV). This study is proposed a conceptual framework. The proposed conceptual framework is considered a contribution towards the enrichment of the relevant literature. Moreover, this study as a stepping stone for further research on finding importance CSFs of KM towards enhance innovation and improve OP.
