Competitive Advantage, Quality Strategy and the Role of Marketing
探讨了卖方组织中营销与质量管理的接口，基于营销、战略和质量管理文献及管理者访谈，构建了一个质量战略的权变模型。
The improvement of product and service quality has been widely discussed in the literature as an appropriate competitive strategy for achieving sustainable competitive advantage. However, neither the linkage between competitive strategy and quality, nor the role of marketing in the implementation of quality‐based competitive strategy, has received detailed attention in the marketing and strategy literatures. This paper explores the interface between marketing and quality management in seller organizations, by developing a contingency model of quality strategy. This model is grounded in the literatures of marketing, strategy and quality management, and the perceptions of managers uncovered in exploratory interviews.
