Abstract
In this study, we set out to understand how food companies innovate, and how innovation is linked to business success. A series of 12 case studies in six European countries has been described in the preceding chapters. The cases were guided by a framework which we built up based on a comprehensive literature review This framework is reproduced in Figure 15.1.
