“…In the scientific literature, many authors talk about the term of change when product innovations are concerned (Reguia, 2014;Moreira et al, 2016;Avadikyan et al, 2016;Larsson, 2017). Product innovation is about leading change.…”

Purpose: The main purpose of the paper is to investigate and establish an understanding of the key aspects of product innovations, which present an important side of the product innovation theory. The paper also aims to validate the literature knowledge by conducting and presenting the results of a primary study. Theoretical framework: The theoretical knowledge provides the necessary secondary data that helps researchers to build specific empirical indicators, which the paper puts to test by conducting a primary research study. Design/methodology/approach: As a first step, the paper uses exploratory research, which is a methodology approach that investigates and gives a deep understanding of the research topic. The method used is “literature review”, which helps researchers to analyse existing data from a variety of literature sources relevant to the aspect of product innovations. Next, the paper uses descriptive research, which involves the collection of quantitative data through a survey method. The research study is conducted in February 2023, among 18 software companies in Bulgaria with product innovation activities in the 3-year-period under review (2020 – 2022). Findings: The paper identifies the key aspects of product innovations, outlines specific empirical indicators and confirms the essential role of the defined key aspects for the development of product innovations in the software industry. Research, Practical & Social implications: The paper brings useful knowledge base for developing future research studies focused on product innovations. Originality/value: The paper provides an original and a new direction of researching the term of product innovations.

Tourism is the most important export sector in Montenegro, with a share of 22% of the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and a strong tendency toward growth. Tourism revenues contribute substantially to both the current account balance and employment. However, the current level of the tourist sector suffers from serious limitations. The switch from the current approach to tourism in Montenegro to a more sustainable tourism is only possible by becoming more innovative.Highlighting the importance of innovation in all its forms has been the motivation for our research. The application of the organizational, marketing, and design innovations of the Montenegrin tourism industry actors was examined in a survey, based on the Community Innovation Survey (CIS), with some necessary adaptations. The sample covered more than 70% of available tourism actors. The authors also analysed the experience from Slovenia, in particular the Slovenian example of the Bank of Tourism Potentials, finding this innovation potentially suitable for transfer to Montenegro. Based on the survey and analysis, the team designed certain recommendations for policy action that can be used as guidelines for policy makers.

“…Due to the growth and success of service sectors and the expanding dominance of the service sector in the global economy, the need to explore and examine the significance of this paradigm has started to evolve (Ferraz & Santos, 2016). Moreira et al (2016) deliberate that "the immense strategic significance of TICs in the service sector and the high level of contention in this industry is clear to spend more attention investigating the relationship between TICs and competitive performance in service firms." Therefore, the problem of this study is to identify if TICs have the same influence on FP in the service sector as in other sectors.…”

This study investigates the influence of technological innovative capabilities (TICs) on firm performance (FP) in the IT sector, with strategic agility as a moderator variable. This paper analyzes the TICs at the firm level in the service sector using the functional approach. An online structured questionnaire was adapted and refined to collect the required information on the influence of TICs dimensions on FP in the IT sector to achieve the objectives. The unit of analysis consists of top management staff and heads of departments from IT firms in Amman, Jordan. A sample of 67 IT firms was selected, and 300 questionnaires were distributed. A total number of returned responses was 223, producing a 74% response rate. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses. The revealed findings show that learning capability, marketing capability, organizational capability, and strategic planning capability had a significant influence on FP, whereas resource allocation capability was not significant. In addition, multiple hierarchical regression was used to test the moderating effect of strategic agility on the relationship between TICs and FP. Revealed results of the overall model to examine the moderating effect show that strategic agility is not significant in moderating the relationship between TICs dimensions and FP.
