Innovations are considered as a soul of firms. Alignment of Information technology (IT) with innovations concepts is necessary to achieve the favorable innovations results within organizations. The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of IT support on Innovations Concepts. For the purpose of data collection eleven operating textile firms were selected by using convenience sampling technique. This study employed SPSS to test the hypothesized relation between IT support and innovations concept. The results showed that most of the textile firms are trying to make better utilization of IT resource to achieve favorable level of innovations. All innovations concepts were positively correlated with Information Technology (IT) Support. This study provides the importance of IT to achieve favorable level of innovation concept within the organization. This study is also helpful for mangers and industrialists to make better understanding about the importance IT tools to implement innovations concepts within organization.
