Marketing Orientation: How Do Hospital Administrators Compare with Marketing Managers?
Article Abstract:
A mail survey sought to compare the marketing orientation of hospital administrators with marketing managers. Items surveyed include marketing aggressiveness, ability to adapt to change and degree of orientation towards market segmentation. Organizational, planning and consumer orientations were also surveyed. Results show marketing administrators to be more aggressive than hospital administrators and to have more of a segmentation orientation in some areas. Both groups are very consumer oriented and place high priorities on planning. Hospital administrators are less likely to use marketing techniques.
