Primary data used in the study was obtained from R&D manager, marketing manager, managing director and finance manager using a structured questionnaire. This study used Content Validity Index (CVI) and expert judgment to check instrument validity while pretesting and Cronbach Alpha coefficient tested reliability. Data was sorted, edited, cleaned and later entered in Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS. v.25) for analysis. Both frequency tables and inferential statistics were used to interpret results. Testing of mediation was carried out with the help of a Med-Graph system.

It was obtained that there exists a positive relationship between product innovation and customer satisfaction. There was a positive relationship between product innovation and shareholder’s value.
