Abstract
This paper is part of a larger study of competitive advantage, organisational innovation and organisational performance. The paper is based on preliminary tests performed on Australian manufacturers participating in the Best Practice Program. The main aim is to provide a conceptual model and establish critical constructs for operationalisation of the main concept as seen by company executives. The purpose was to establish what managers consider the important items for various scales in order to facilitate a common understanding between academics and practitioners. The findings are interesting in that they indicate what practitioners believe to be important elements of the research constructs. The results also indicate possible future findings by pointing out the relationships among the constructs.
