The theories that are emphasized in this research are Transaction Cost Theory (TCT), Resource Based View Theory (RBT), Dynamic Capability Theory (DCT) and Institutional (Based) Theory (IBT). The association amid the theories is established through various tests of model reliability and validity. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Multiple Regression Modeling are used to analyze the data and validate the hypotheses. This research is conducted in Klang-Valley (geographical area in Peninsular Malaysia), Malaysia consisting of companies from Oil & Gas and Financial Industry. The data collection is conducted using a self-administered questionnaire where response is measured using 5-point Likert scale. The research is conducted between the period of July and August 2017.
