The sources of data for the study were both primary and secondary. The research instrument was developed and it was subjected to both validity and reliability measures and was found to be valid and reliable for the study. Simple random sampling technique was adopted for the study. Three hypotheses were formulated and subjected to inferential statistical tests such as correlation and regression. It was discovered that service process innovation, service modification and service innovation structure are significantly related to firm performance.
