Abstract: Innovation resources are among the resources critical for the creation of sustainable competitive advantage and therefore, for the growth and survival of companies.

The results of research show moderate positive correlation between these two variables.

Keywords: consumer loyalty; financial performance; innovation resources; market performance; sustainability; Slovenia; sustainable economy; sustainable development; sustainable competitive advantage.
