Market research
Research shows a strong correlation between new product development and market performance, in terms of organisations capturing and retaining market share, increasing profitability, reduce costs and achieve economies of scale etc. But, it is important to bear in mind that innovation-driven competitive advantages are usually short-lived as gains tend to be copied or lost due to new disruptive technologies and business models. Hence the need for continuous innovation that are not that easy to copy such as patented technologies, process innovations and hidden innovations.
Studies have shown that ‘innovation leaders’ in most industry sectors consistently outperform their rivals in revenue growth, profits, and share price performance.
