In the competitive global market, due to the quickly changing of the environment, rapid improvement of customer’s various demands, the notion of market orientation has received a lot of attention on the issue of enhancing new product development performance over the past decades. To obtain the knowledge of market orientation, firms integrate the knowledge through inter-organizational or external inter-organizational integration. The aim of this study focused on the dimension of external inter-organizational integration of customer and supplier, to explore the relationships among proactive market orientation, responsive market orientation, and new product development performance. The objects of this study are the manufactures, which were from a list of the largest Taiwanese manufactures (2006) published by China Credit Information Service, Ltd. The data is collected through questionnaires. 518 questionnaires were delivered and 100 effective questionnaires were returned. The model and hypothesized relationship were empirically tested using the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach, supported by AMOS software. The results show that external inter-organizational integration positively affects proactive market orientation and responsive market orientation; proactive market orientation positively affects new product development performance. Also, external inter-organizational integration affects new product development performance through proactive market orientation, but not responsive market orientation. |
