The Impact of Suppliers' Perceptions of Reseller Market Orientation on Key Relationship Constructs

Abstract: A number of researchers have reported the positive benefits of creating and maintaining a market orientation. This study is one of the first to explicitly investigate the effects of market orientation within a channel context. It is proposed that a supplier’s perceptions of a reseller’s market orientation will positively affect the supplier’s perceptions of certain key relationship marketing constructs. Data collected from 380 suppliers were used to test the hypotheses. All hypotheses were supported.

“…The suppliers were asked to report on how they relate to their immediate customers (i.e., the distributors), and the distributors how they relate to their immediate customers. Based on the supplier's responses, the authors show that the supplier's perception of the distributor's market orientation is correlated with the supplier's perception of key relationship constructs, such as trust, cooperation, satisfaction, and commitment (Baker, Simpson, and Siguaw, 1999). This study is confining insofar as the suppliers were not asked how they relate to the distributors' customers.…”

“…Similarly, Ford and Hakanson (2006) considered good quality of relationships with customers as significant assets for brands. certain researchers (Baker, Simpson, & Siguaw, 1999;Dorsch et al, 1998;Lewin & Johnston, 1997) considered commitment and trust as the main elements of relationship quality. Crosby et al (1990) thought about satisfaction and trust as the most important dimensions that form relationship quality.…”
