Quality improvement and innovation are central strategies for firms in an increasingly globalised marketplace. Implementing both quality improvement and innovation, however, poses significant managerial, organisational and technical challenges and may also involve significant lags before benefits are realised. Here, using panel data on a large group of Irish manufacturing firms and econometric analysis, we establish the dynamic influence of firms’ adoption of quality improvement methods (QIMs) on firms’ innovation performance. Our study highlights the short-term disruptive and longer-term beneficial effects of QIM adoption on innovation.
