Abstract
When a firm launches a market-creating innovation, it launches a new product for which there are no close
product substitutes. Thus, the new product causes a shift in the existing product–market structure of an
industry. This paper reports on the findings of the analysis of 51 large pharmaceutical firms and their
market-creating activities. The study suggests that market-creating firms have capabilities in both R&D and
marketing. Furthermore, market-creating firms enjoy stronger efficiencies, manage costs better and make
more profitable use of their assets.
