Schumpeter’s Theory of Innovation mentioned 100 years ago that survival of a business depends very much on innovation (Schumpeter, 1934)
Schumpeter suggests that innovations are imperative for economic growth, commercial profit and thus public wealth
Theory of Innovation by Schumpeter

After analyzing the capitalist model Schumpeter tried to understand what companies would be in a better position to innovate. He developed a theory where a company’s ability to innovate was mainly connected to its size.
Initially he defended that small companies should be in a better position due to their flexibility while large companies might get trapped in bureaucratic structures. (The Service Industry Journal, January 2004, Volume 24, Number 1)
Theory of Resource Based View Teece et al, 1997 mentioned that competitive advantage
comes from aligning skills, motives and etc. With organizational systems, structures and processes that achieve capabilities at the organization level.
Nelson & Winter, 1982 mentioned that technological innovation and creativity are the basis of competitive advantage. A strategic resource to one firm will be a strategic resource to another firm.
Theory of Marketing

Marketing is a science as well as an at which are driven by creativity and innovation. To leverage creativity and innovation fully, science needs to step in. To be robust, the marketing function needs the rigor of science
Mak Joshi, Product Marketing, Abbot Labs, Sept 10th 2008
Theory of Innovative Marketing
Innovative marketing is not simply focused on product innovation, instead it covers the whole spectrum of marketing activity with an SME. (Rogers, 1995)
Consequently, there is likely to be more innovation in other aspects of marketing activity than there will be around the product or service (Rogers, 1995)

Significant of the Problem
Hazrita Abdul Rahim 2011
13
Find strategies to have more innovative promotion as SME usually struggle to be known
Introduction of ICT have changed the landscape of promotion
Effective and efficient new methods, achieve what you want to achieve at lower cost
As a result of innovative promotion, customers will have better unit cost per price item
Significant of the Problem The concept of promotion innovation have not been
explored in greater depth
Previously promotional effort are costly and SME with limited resources cannot afford it
SME Annual Report 2006 stated that SME accounted for 99.2% of total business but only contribute 32% of GDP. This show vast opportunity

Islamic Perspective on Promotion There is no room in Islam to justify any
cover up of promotional behavior. Qur’an condemns all forms and shapes of false assertions (Kadhb),unfounded accusations, concoctions and false testimonies (Al-Qur’an 43:19, 80; 33:19, 58; 58:17–19; 102:8; 100:8; 3:14).
Hazrita Abdul Rahim 2011

Islamic Perspective on Promotion In terms of Islamic marketing ethics, it is
unethical for the salesperson to over praise his products and attribute to them qualities which they do not possess (Al-Ukhuwa, 1938, p 23).
