Abstract
Ecological innovations are assumed to generate business opportunities by reducing resource consumption while increasing quality of life at the same time. This research seeks to address how a firm's strategy influences the development of innovations with emphasis on sustainability and how incremental and radical innovations differ upon achieving competitive advantage. Based on a literature review, a conceptual model is developed and propositions are derived. With the help of a case study, the conceptual model and the propositions are validated
