Business model innovation vs replication: financial performance implications of strategic emphases

“…Also research on firms' orientation toward prospective, market-pioneering innovations has presented similar findings (e.g. Cefis & Ciccarelli, 2005;Manu & Sriram, 1996;Robinson & Fornell, 1985;Robinson, Kalyanaram, & Urban, 1994;Vázquez et al, 2001). Thus, it could be generally expected that firms that have high strategic emphasis on business model innovation (but low on replication) have higher average financial performance in terms of profitable growth than firms with no such emphasis.…”

Product innovation, cost-cutting and firm economic performance in the post-crisis context: Canadian micro evidence

“…Note, however, that these two strategies are not necessarily mutually exclusive (Hambrick, 1983). Some recent researches established a complementary relationship between these two strategies: cost control is conducive to the level of novelty in innovation (Amara et al, 2009) contrary to the long held notion that cost reduction has a negative influence on innovative activities (Vázquez et al, 2001;Darroch and McNaughton, 2002).…”
