Abstract: | Very little attention has been devoted so far to the study of the market orientation concept in private non-profit organisations. However, there is a general agreement concerning the positive effects that this concept's adoption has on the non-profit services implementation as well as on these organisations' long-term success. Thus this paper aims at obtaining further empirical evidence on this field of research using a private foundations sample. Nevertheless, it is considered that the distinctive and specific nature of private non-profit organisations' activities deserves the development of a special instrument to evaluate their degree of market orientation. In this sense, one of this study's main contributions is the development of a market orientation measurement scale. |
