Marketing synergy (alpha = 0.97)[edit | edit source]

Description[edit | edit source]

Although certain items of some scales were developed specifically for the Japanese context, many were derived from existing validated scales. Respondents answered all questions using a Likert-type scale ranging from 0 to 10; field research suggested that an 11-point scale was appropriate for studying Japanese management practices because a 100 percent grading system is used in most Japanese schools.

Definition[edit | edit source]

Marketing synergy refers to the project's fit with the available market research, sales force, distribution, and advertising and promotion skills and resources.
