An Integrative Approach to Innovation Management - Patterns of Companies' Innovation Orientation and Customer Responses to Product Program Innovativeness

Nicole Zacharias identifies four different types of innovation orientation and shows that the most innovative companies are financially not the most successful. Furthermore, he investigates positive and negative customer responses to different dimensions of innovativeness as well as contingencies that might alter these linkages.

Dr. Nicolas Zacharias completed his doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Ruth Stock-Homburg at the Department of Marketing & Human Resource Management at the Technische Universität Darmstadt.
