Abstract

The role of conventional innovation in achieving competitive advantage has been examined from the views of comparative and competitive advantage model, resource-based perspective, product life cycle, and internalization theories, such as transaction cost in developed countries (Chudnovsky et al. 2006). However, the ­relevance of incremental and adaptive innovation in escalating competitive position of a firm in a developing country has not been adequately studied (Chudnovsky et al. 2006). To develop the research framework, this study draws mainly from two interrelated fields: innovation model and comparative and competitive advantage model. It also derives relevant aspects from technological cycle, resource-based perspective, path-dependency theory, and sectoral innovation system.
