Discontinuous Innovation and New Venture Performance: A Meta-Study Analysis

Abstract

This meta-study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between discontinuous innovation and new venture performance by synthesizing findings from existing empirical research. Drawing upon a systematic review of scholarly literature, the study examines various dimensions of discontinuous innovation, including technological breakthroughs, radical changes in business models, and disruptive strategies, and their impact on the performance of new ventures across different industries and contexts. Through a meta-analysis of quantitative studies, the research investigates the strength and consistency of the relationship between discontinuous innovation and key performance indicators such as market share, profitability, growth, and survival rates. Furthermore, the study explores potential moderators and mediators that may influence this relationship, including organizational factors, environmental dynamics, and strategic capabilities. By synthesizing and integrating empirical evidence from diverse sources, this meta-study contributes to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms through which discontinuous innovation affects new venture performance and provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to foster innovation-driven entrepreneurship.
