The study contains an extensive review of existing literature and data resources related to internal and external R&D in manufacturing industry in Malaysia. The study begins by presenting the context of internal and external R&D. The business case for its relationship towards operation performance of a firm is discussed next followed by description of intellectual property as a moderating variable. The survey method has been chosen to conduct this study. A pilot data based on 23 cases were then analyzed to see how the consistencies of the construct. The sector of chemical
and metallurgy manufacturing firms is chosen due to its high ranking in gaining patent in the Malaysian patent statistics in year 2010. Detailed discussions on the Cronbach’s Alpha obtained for the dependent
