The creator anticipated that associations through offering administrations must develop their survey of their structure yield from unsurprising driven association perspective. This extended technique could help with settling questions or utilization of mix connecting administration improvement and expanding administration yield.

Zawislak et al. ¹³ demonstrate that associations need, actually, to aggregate assets and abilities, which enable them to have a more created mechanical capacity than their rivals. In that sense, mechanical ability identifies with ingestion and change of an innovation as a method for achieving more elevated amounts of specialized financial effectiveness.

Human asset ability in associations has moved toward becoming and improving hierarchical execution. HRM is expected to influence information, aptitudes, capacities frames of mind and conduct of workers and may along these lines influence the exhibition of an association ¹⁴.

2. Review of Literature

This section presents a review of literature on organizational capabilities as an antecedent of performance of gigantic property management company limited in Kenya. It consists of theoretical literature review and empirical literature review.

According to the human capital theory, a person's traits are related to their productivity, and valuable people are an asset that boosts business success ²³. According to Singh, Terjesen, and Vinnicombe ²⁴, each person has a distinct set of knowledge, abilities, and experiences that can help them gain a competitive edge through variety. These differences result from various educational, professional, managerial, and risk-taking experiences. One hypothesis is that by combining different skills, knowledge, and methods, team success can be increased.

Organizations must devote substantial resources to develop human capital, as it strongly impacts performance ²³. McCracken ²⁵ notes effective human capital management can increase investment likelihood and potentially draw new talent. Furthermore, organizations with robust human capital. This theory is relevant because it explains how a company can measure the results of training efforts on employee productivity, identify skill gaps, identify areas for future employee skill development, and assess the influence of excellent performers work environments on employee safety and well-being.

The Market-Based View (MBV) theory argues that enterprise factors and external marketplace orientation are the primary determinants of company’s growth ^{26, 27} The market-based view (MBV) of the firm focuses on the link between organizations’ strategies and their external environments ²⁸. It’s first basic assumption is that strategically relevant resources are distributed homogeneously among the firms within an industry. The second assumption refers to the mobility of these resources, which in the MBV are highly mobile ²⁹. Accordingly, for a firm to grow it must depend on its ability to take advantage of imperfectness on the market in which it sells its goods or services.

In the MBV, a competitive advantage can be achieved by performing strategically relevant activities at lower costs than competitors or in a unique way that is valuable to customers ³⁰. Therefore, the MBV shows that the three generic competitive strategies (differentiation, focus and cost leadership) can be pursued separately or in combination and have the long-term objectives to create a defendable position within the industry and to outperform competing actors within that industry.

This study was guided by Product Life Cycle Theory (PLCT) by Vernon (1979) who argues that the product goes through 5 stages in life where at some point unless modifications are done, the product becomes obsolete and irrelevant. It is important that businesses invest highly on market research programmes in order to identify changes in consumer needs as the product advances through its productive life. Vernon ³¹ argues that like any living being, products go through various stages in their productive lives from invention, maturity to decline stage forming a unique cycle in the product life. These stages are characterised by specific features which determine the length of time a product spends in one stage depending on the marketing strategies applied.

If not nurtured through continuous improvements the products decline and die naturally like any living being. With this understanding, product design is expected to be a continuous and deliberate strategic approach if organisations expect to sustain profitability and growth ³². This theory has proven that products do not survive forever. Aggressive marketing strategies have to be applied to prolong product life in any stage of the product life cycle. These strategies may include differentiation strategies, modifications and product positioning techniques including new innovations all together.

Diffusion of innovation (DOI) as propounded by Rogers in the year 1971 is a theory explaining why and to what extent a new idea or technology reaches individuals or organizations in a social system. The DOI theory, which is based on psychological and sociological theories, is perhaps the most used innovation adoption theory in ICT adoption. Rogers ³³ defines innovation diffusion as the process by which an innovation is communicated through communication channels over times among the members of a social system. In DOI, adoption is the acceptance of innovation taking place in five steps: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation and confirmation.

DOI suggests that perceived characteristics of an innovation, such as relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, triability and observability, determine the adoption or rejection of an innovation ³⁴. Irani, Ahmad, Amer, Qutaifan and Alhilali ³⁵ show that in the DOI theory, the pattern of communication flow determines the pattern of adoption across the members of the adopting social system. The informed users are persuaded to adopt the innovations. Technology adoption enables the organization to automate the already existing structures for effective service delivery. The tenets of this theory illustrate how the diffusion of technology in a given geographical area influences the acceptance of a related innovation that applies the already existing systems.
