Advantages of Innovation in Business

Improved productivity & reduced costs

A lot of process innovation is about reducing unit costs. This might be achieved by improving the production capacity and/or flexibility of the business – to enable it to exploit economies of scale

Better quality

By definition, better quality products and services are more likely to meet customer needs. Assuming that they are effectively marketed, that should result in higher sales and profits

Building a product range

A business with a single product or limited product range would almost certainly benefit from innovation. A broader product range provides an opportunity for higher sales and profits and also reduces the risk for shareholders

To handle legal and environmental issues

Innovation might enable the business to reduce it carbon emissions, produce less waste or perhaps comply with changing product legislation. Changes in laws often force business to innovate when they might not otherwise do so

More added value

Effective innovation is a great way to establish a unique selling proposition ("USP") for a product – something which the customer is prepared to pay more for and which helps a business differentiate itself from competitors

Improved staff retention, motivation and easier recruitment

Not an obvious benefit, but often significant. Potential good quality recruits are often drawn to a business with a reputation for innovation. Innovative businesses have a reputation for being inspiring places in which to work.
