Product Innovations in a Family Business with the Support of EU Funds

Summary/Abstract: Family businesses operating on a modern, dynamically growing market must be characterized by innovation, efficiency and flexibility of operations. At the same time, it is important to manage the processes of innovation implementation, introduce new products, technologies and obtain specific financial outlays for these purposes. Innovation is mainly understood as technological, organizational, marketing or product improvements. Product innovations consist in improving the product already produced by the company or starting the production of a new product, using innovative technological solutions – usually on a national, but often also global scale. With an improved or completely new product, family businesses can gain new markets but also become leaders in their industry and set development directions for others. The effect of innovative activities is also to increase the value of the organization and gain a competitive advantage on the market. The aim of the article is to analyze and evaluate the process of introducing product innovations in family businesses with co-financing from EU funds on the example of a production company.
