Market Orientation and Sources of Knowledge to Innovate in SMEs: A Firm Level Study

This work examines the relationship between the three market orientation (MO) components, i.e. customer orientation, competitor orientation and inter-functional coordination, and the extension to which small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) use different sources of knowledge to innovate. Based on...
