dc.description.abstractThe low level of utilization of technological capabilities has been a serious problem in manufacturing industry in Tanzania. In this respect, this study has focused its attention on the beer manufacturing industry in Tanzanian economy. This study has found that more studies have been thinking about acquisition of technological capabilities than their utilization. One task of this study has been to demonstrate the utilization of technological capabilities in manufacturing industry. The particular attention of this study has considered and hence presented various but functional forms of technological capabilities applied in the manufacturing activities such as Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL) as a case study. With that, it has established the evidence and explanation of utilization of technological capabilities in manufacturing. And, by taking this important aspect this study has deviated from others. The role of acquired and applied technological capabilities is shown to be crucial as they give relevant abilities to the manufacturing industry to perform its activities towards achieving its objectives and goals and hence improves and sustains its level of development. This study has found that the increasing level of utilization of technological capabilities in beer manufacturing industry is closely related to its level of improved performance. Therefore, it suggests that manufacturing industry need to apply technological capabilities for achievement of their sustainable development. Finally, this study has advised that more emphasis need to be put on researches on utilization of technological capabilities than solely on acquisition. Such acquisition is necessary but not sufficient condition for performance of manufacturing activities.en_US
