Abstract: | This study aims at exploring, describing, and categorizing the factors driving the development of customer orientation (henceforth as: cust-orient). A key objective is to provide insights into the nature and the dynamics of organizational approaches and tactics impeding or facilitating cust-orient. Thus, central concerns are the strategies, tactics, and procedures contributing to the development of a customer-oriented culture. This paper starts by outlining existing research into the character of cust-orient. in contemporary firms. Thereafter a conceptual model of the approaches and tactics that drive cust-orient. is presented with a series of hypotheses. Following a brief discussion of the research design and methods employed, the results of a survey of the antecedents of cust-orient. in high-tech companies are presented. |
