Tiivistelmä: | The aim of this paper is to develop and test a theoretical model of narrow and broad market scanning in a service industry, including short- and long-term outcomes. It is found that narrow scanning has a strong positive effect on profitability through incremental service adaptation, whereas broad scanning has a weak but significant effect on profitability through incremental service adaptation, and broad scanning positively influences spin-off knowledge. The practical implication of this study is that when developing services, services managers must distinguish between short- and long-term performance, and how they scan their markets. |
