Innovation can be in product, advertising, distribution, finance or any other field. In the technological environment, the product or service remains the same and the method of performing the function is always new. The technological environment also includes the research basis of decisions. Research identifies consumer needs and provides information for goal setting and planning of the entire marketing effort.
