METHOD and SAMPLE We selected the target population for data collection through a self-administered questionnaire, which comprised managerial level employees of service and manufacturing industries. We approached the employees who were experienced and well aware of product or process innovation at the managerial level. As we do not have a sampling frame, the probability sampling technique was not possible, so data was collected based on convenience sampling throughout the whole Punjab province of Pakistan. According to the item to response theory, the sample size was determined with multiples of ten of all the items, making 33; thus, the sample size was 330 respondents. We aimed to reach amore numbers after distributing self-administered surveys to 340 respondents, albeit we could get 260 responses. Among 260 responses, there were missing data, and even some respondents filled it carelessly. After robust observation, we rejected ten responses, making final useable responses of 250 (about 74%). All 250 final participants voluntarily participated in the survey as the study's data is from the employees in seven different service and manufacturing sectors.
