Management behavior and barriers to market orientation in retailing companies

Article Abstract:

Management behavior plays a critical role in the success of service-oriented companies, as they determine the success of market orientation. Results derived from a survey conducted on UK-based food services firms revealed that positive management behaviors tend to elicit improved market orientation. On the other hand, negative behaviors, including political maneuvering and conflicts, tend to undermine the marketing potential of firms. Results further suggest the increased market orientation is likely to result in better vertical organizational communication.
