Marketing standardization within global industries An empirical study of performance implications

Marketing standardization within global industries An empirical study of performance implications Examines the relationship between global standardization and performance within the global industry context. For firms competing in global industries that emphasize high-tech, industrial products, global standardization was found to be positively related to organizational performance. In addition, considers the moderating effect of managerial characteristics on the global standardization-performance relationship. Results indicate that the subsidiary manager's marketing experience strengthened the global standardization-performance relationship, but the manager's international experience did not have a moderating effect. In summary, results show that global standardization can be an effective strategic option when implemented consistently with organizational contingencies. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Marketing Review Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Examines the relationship between global standardization and performance within the global industry context. For firms competing in global industries that emphasize high-tech, industrial products, global standardization was found to be positively related to organizational performance. In addition, considers the moderating effect of managerial characteristics on the global standardization-performance relationship. Results indicate that the subsidiary manager's marketing experience strengthened the global standardization-performance relationship, but the manager's international experience did not have a moderating effect. In summary, results show that global standardization can be an effective strategic option when implemented consistently with organizational contingencies.
