      abstract = {Transfer of modern technology (ToMT) including  upgrading/alterations/additions (As & As)) through  individuals’ organizational effectiveness of training (EoT)  in the Omani ships’ repairs environment (OSRE) remains a  challenging issue, particularly with regards to the future  of on-going projects such as ships/maritime materiel,  infrastructure and platforms that continue their operations  for many years after acceptance dates. ToMT/upgrading is  done to enhance the capability of the whole dockyard/navy  through a predetermined arrangement, involving many areas  of interest such as the knowledge, competencies and skills  (KCS) of the indigenous workforce to support the  capability. Typical examples that can drag/slow down the  modern KCS development of the indigenous workforce are to  fully depend on the outside contracts, manpower  substitution, external organization and institutions to do  the work, which can also be expensive in the short and  long-term. Technology transfer requires a high level of  commitment and expertise from both the technology provider  and the recipients/owner/indigenous workforce. Intellectual  talents are a decisive requirement, followed by financial  resources, particularly when major contractual projects and  long-term relations are involved. This literature review  and methodical study endeavoured to draw previous  experience of the organizations under study, including the  Omani Dockyard, to understand the current situational  readiness of knowledge, competencies and skills (KCS) in  single- and double-loop learning. The KCS are valued by  emphasising the need for force for direction, force for  efficiency, force for proficiency, force for innovation,  force for concentration and force of cooperation as ‘a  system of forces’ and also the effectiveness of training,  to deliver overall Organizational Performance. The study  begins by significantly and initially forming a model to  introduce the determinants for the subject of study,  followed by a critical literature review on ToMT and the  determinants of the model. The discussion and conclusions  are intended to outline the method that enhances readiness  for new technology. The main contributing factors are the  know-how to develop expertise and transfer KCS in the  workplace. This study has determined the collaborative  value of the current business to see whether future  acceptance of new knowledge or technology transfer can be  entertained.},
