Techno-resonance innovation capability for enhancing marketing performance: a perspective of RA-theory
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3846/btp.2020.12117Abstract
The current study is conducted to fill up the research gap on the inconsistent findings of the ability of market orientation in enhancing marketing performance through inserting the techno-resonance innovation capability and product innovativeness as factors to leverage marketing performance. Five hypotheses were developed and tested in a sample frame of 121 SMEs in the region of West Borneo, Indonesia. The findings of this study demonstrate the pivotal role of techno-resonance innovation capability in two folds. Firstly, a techno-resonance innovation capability is proved as a mediator of marketing orientation in enhancing marketing performance. Secondly, the techno-resonance innovation capability, which holds the potential for enhancing the product innovativeness, is essential but not sufficient to enhance marketing performance; still, another extra effort is necessary, such as resonating the value of innovativeness to the target market.
