practices on five types of innovation, namely: radical product innovation, incremental product innovation, radical process innovateon, incremental process innovation, and administrative innovation. The study was conducted on Egyptian private manufacturing companies holding the ISO 9001 certification. Based on the objectives of the research, five hypotheses were developed. A questionnaire was designed by the researcher to collect primary information.  Cronbach’s Alpha confirmed the reliability of the measurement scales of the research variables, and the multiple regression technique tested the research’s hypotheses. Results of the research indicate  that the total quality management practices affect radical product innovation, incremental product innovation, and administrative innovation. However, they did not affect both, radical process innovation, and incremental process innovation.
