Abstract: | Examines the environment hostility-planning-performance relationship of Hong Kong retailers. A positive relationship is found between environment hostility and the threats encompassed by the existing labor shortage, rising rents, foreign-based competition, the 1977 return to Chinese governance and hong Kong's relationship with mainland China. Retailers who perceive more hostility in their environment are more planning-oriented. short-term planners significantly outperformed non-planners. |
