Abstract: The impact of innovation on a firm’s performance has attracted significant research interest among scholars and managers. While empirical researches have shown that innovation is a means of improving the competitiveness of firms and their performance, most of these studies rely on the quantitative research design whereby data are obtained from selected samples of a given population. Using the case study approach to obtain qualitative data, this paper explores the effects of process innovation on the financial performance of a food processing company operating in a northern state of Malaysia. The result reveals that the introduction of new production process has significantly improved the sales of the company.
