The goal of the re-search is to identify ways of incumbent firms to develop new business to be able to compete against more agile companies. Technological development has enabled new players to enter to market. The results reveal that to be able to re-spond to the needs of fast changing markets would incumbent firms benefit if they separate innovation development of new business from traditional busi-ness, structured innovation process in their new business development and of resources from outside the organisation.
