This study aims to scrutinizeeffective methods of manufacturing innovative products that resulted in long-term benefitsthrough the total innovation management (TIM) cycle being used by the X Company (part of theglobal bus & coach manufacturers located in the USA, Europe, and Turkey) under the competitivemarket environment. This study was conducted through a case study perspective supported bythe “Methodological Triangulation Method,” which enables researchers and business executivesto observe existing is-sues utilizing qualitative, quantitative, and interpretive approaches forenhancing the TIM cycle with agility. X Company has expanded its product portfolio with aninnovative product family called the “XBUS,” which integrated both the digitalization andelectricity driveline technology by practicing the TIM cycle. The XBUS product increased companysales by 6.39% in the total amount of sales. X Company increased its market share between 2018and 2019 in the USA and Europe region by 13.2% and 11.4% respectively, whereas the Turkishmarket share was decreased by 4.8% due to financial obstacles, including deficiency ofcommercial credits.
