Handbook of Management Scales/Intelligence dissemination
Intelligence dissemination (alpha = 0.75) edit
Description edit
In order to improve operationalization and psychometric properties, a market orientation scale (MARKOR) taken from Kohli et al. (1993) is modified. The resulting market orientation scale (MO) has three dimensions: intelligence generation, intelligence dissemination, and responsiveness.
