Abstract

In this paper, the authors examine critical success factors and outcomes of market knowledge management, which is the management of knowledge pertaining to a firm's customers, competitors, and suppliers. Using data collected from 307 managers in 105 businesses across Canada, the authors show that a firm's extent of information technology adoption, its analytical capabilities, and market orientation are critical success factors for the firm's market knowledge management. An important outcome of market knowledge management is the organization's financial performance, mediated by customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Results of this study indicate that superior business performance depends not only on the effective management of knowledge, but also on what type of knowledge is managed. Finally, implications of results and avenues for future research are discussed.
