The intention of this paper is to review the determinants of innovative performance and to explain the implications of the determinants towards the firms in the manufacturing industry in Malaysia. This paper also illustrates the importance of innovative performance in the manufacturing firms in Malaysia. It is suggested in this study that several industry characteristics and firm characteristics are the determinants that affect innovative performance in a firm in the manufacturing industry. Given that a firm’s innovative performance is able to increase its revenue generated, determinants affecting innovative performance in a firm should be given equal priority like quality and productivity to ensure continuous revenue generation and sustainability of the firm.
