Abstract: This paper is about to examine the relationship of organisational learning (OL) with knowledge management (KM) and their effect on organisational performance (OP) in food industries. The conceptual framework proposed in this research is a creative model that contributes to relevant theories of KM, OL, and OP literature. 168 companies in food industry were selected in China, Taiwan, Malaysia, and structural equation modelling (SEM) is applied to test the hypotheses in our research model. The research model includes three constructs including KM, OL and OP, and three measurement variables include firm age, size, and type. The results show that KM and OL have positive effect on OL and OL is a mediator in the relationship between KM and OP. Moreover, firm age, size, and type are moderators in the relationship among three constructs in the research model.
