      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.},
