Abstract: | Although the market orientation concept has received increasing research attention, the vast majority of published work has been focused on organizations based in the United States. Although this approach has advantages, it limits our understanding of the concept in global markets. The purpose of this research is to examine how country context affects: (1) levels of organizational antecedents that drive a market orientation including a focus on top management, interdepartmental relations, and organizational systems; (2) levels of market orientation; and (3) strength of linkages between market orientation and its antecedents and consequences. Using a multiple-informant survey design, data were collected from SBUs in the U.S. and Scandinavia. |
