Abstract: | The resource-based view of companies claims that organizational performance is based on strategically relevant resources. This article discusses the connection between seven marketing resources associated with customer orientation and performance. The findings indicate that two resources - a customer orientation philosophy and a structure supporting coordination among departments and divisions - are most critical in fostering superior organizational performance. |
