Primary data used in the study was obtained from R&D manager, marketing manager, managing director and finance manager using a structured questionnaire.

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.
