Innovation is considered to be one of the most important research areas in the field of science and technology policies in recent years and it is seen as the main driving force of economic growth and welfare increase. In today's competitive global economy, a firm's product innovation capability determines its competitiveness and effectiveness in national or international production and trade networks. Companies that follow a cost leadership strategy can mainly compete at a lower price, which they can do by reducing their costs through efficient resource/production/distribution and scale economies The sustainability of the companies in this competitive environment with sustainable profitability depends on the determination of the competitive strategies to be put into practice and the strategy they implement in the most rational way. In this study, 383 white collar (engineer) employees were surveyed. The factor analysis (explanatory and confirmatory) and reliability analysis of the scales was conducted using SPSS 25 and AMOS Program. The correlation and regression analysis, and sobel and Hayes process tests were performed to examine the effect of mediator variable. The results showed that there is a statistically positive and meaningful relationship between technology orientation and product innovation. In addition, it was found that the cost leadership and differentiation strategies have a mediation effect in this relationship.

“…Therefore, technology orientation is linked to enhance new product success and profitability (Gatignon & Xuereb, 1997;Song & Parry, 1997;Trainor, Rapp, Beitelspacher, & Schillewaert, 2010). Moreover, a number of researchers found a significant and positive relationship between technology orientation and innovation (Al-Ansari, Altalib, & Sardoh, 2013;Lee, Choi, & Kwak, 2015). On the other hand, Gatignon and Xuereb (1997) recommended firms to foster technology orientation in both high and low market growth situations for a competitive advantage in product development.…”

Though innovation strategy and organizational learning have been credited to impact on product innovation performance, they have been rarely considered in a single model simultaneously. Thus, the main aim of the paper is to investigate the extent of impact of innovation strategy on organizational learning and product innovation performance. A structural equation modelling analysis was performed on the survey data collected from Ethiopian textile and leather product manufacturing firms. The result reveals that innovation strategy is positively related to product innovation performance. Further, firm size and ownership type moderate the effect of innovation strategy on product innovation performance. OPSOMMING Alhoewel daar erkenword dat innovasiestrategie en organisatoriese-leer produkinnovasievertoning beïnvloed, word dit selde gelyktydig in 'n enkele model oorweeg. Die doel van die artikel is dus om die invloedsbereik van innovasiestrategie op organisatoriese-leer en produkinnovasievertoning te ondersoek. 'n Strukturelevergelykingsmodellering analise is op opname data van 'n Etiopiese tekstiel-en leerproduk vervaardigers gedoen. Die resultaat toon dat innovasiestrategie positief verwant is aan produkinnovasiesvertoning. Verder is daar gevind dat maatskappy grootte en eienaarskaptipe die invloed van innovasiestrategie op produkinnovasievertoning matig.
