Abstract

The topic of identifying factors that result in new product success and failure has drawn substantial attention. Among those factors, product innovativeness is deemed to a critical one. Despite years of research in the relationship between product innovativeness and new product performance, the empirical results show conflicting conclusion. To offer much needed clarity, the authors conducted a meta-analysis of 39 correlations from 24 studies on the topic. The findings reveal that product innovativeness has a positive correlation with new product performance. Using bivariate analysis and meta-regression analysis, the findings also reveal that the two measurement factors about innovativeness and performance and two contextual factors about country and industry of sample are found to report a weaker product innovativeness-new product performance relationship. In addition, there is publication bias in this study through the analysis of funnel plot and Egger's regression analysis.
