2.3.2 Marketing capability and enterprise performance The overall marketing performance: some researchers have pointed out, there is an influence relation between marketing capability and enterprise performance, For example, McKee et al (1989), Slater and Narver (1995) found that, enterprises with a high level of product development and marketing implementation capacities have access to better marketing performance than enterprises without them. Through analysis and arguments, Jay and Aron (2004), Jay (2003) have shown that enterprises’ marketing capability has an extremely important influence on organizational innovation and ability of gaining sustainable competitive advantage, enterprises which have a special marketing capability would create a higher value than their competitors in the target market, and they also proposed the logical model of the relationship of marketing capability and enterprises’ sustainable competitive advantage. Vorhies and Morgan (2005) found in studies that the eight different elements of marketing capability (pricing, product development, channel management, marketing communication, sales, marketing information management, marketing plan and marketing implementation) has a significant positive effect on enterprise performance, however, when looking at those relevant marketing capability as a whole would have a more significant impact on enterprise marketing performance, indicating that these constituent elements of marketing capability relate to each other. Morgan et al (2003) found that enterprises which concern about marketing investment in all areas of the process of forming strategy would significantly improve their enterprise performance than enterprises which contribute less to marketing. The above suggest that an enterprise’s marketing capacities has positive effects on improving enterprise performance, but there is no literature which directly link marketing capability with marketing performance, therefore, it is necessary to carry out analysis and empirical research in this area. 2.3.3 Research dimensions of marketing capability |
