Tiivistelmä: | This paper aims to explore customer responsiveness (henceforth as: c-r.) in the hotel industry, and the role of market orientation (here as: m-o.) incl. internal and external (as: int-and-ext.) information sharing (IS). Based on a review of the supply chain management and marketing literature, a conceptual model is built and tested based on a survey of European hotel managers using PLS path modeling. It is found that m-o. appears to be an important basis for cross-functional and inter-organizational IS. Information exchange, both int-and-ext., can explain over 50 percent of c-r., as seen by hotel managers. While many hotel managers may focus on comfort of rooms, cleanliness, quality of food and friendliness etc., it seems that both int-and-ext. IS are important antecedents of c-r. , and hence customer satisfaction and loyalty. |
