Abstract
The rapid changes in the dynamic business environment, market trends and the growing environmental uncertainty, drives companies to increasingly invest in new innovation strategies in order to maintain or gain competitive advantages over their rivals. As a result, businesses are showing a rising interest in implementing Digital Technologies in their Innovation Process.
