Abstract
A conceptual model for continuous product innovation had been developed through earlier joint European-Australian research. This paper reports on initial outcomes of research into the application of this model in small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). An extensively modified data collection and analysis tool has been used to investigate the above variables in several Australian SMEs. Preliminary trials of the new survey instrument indicate that it is more user-friendly for SMEs than the original version
