Innovation, in combination with Operations, constitutes the most important pathway not only to economic growth but also to social welfare. However, innovation is not a simple matter, and the success of a new venture is not guaranteed. The competitiveness of a business is a necessary condition for survival in the environment of the global economy, especially in times of crisis. Competitiveness is directly linked to extroversion (outward orientation), organizational flexibility, and the company’s attitude toward innovation.
