The theoretical approach we use here has been defined in order to include three criticaldimensions: the organizational process that encompasses the marketing adoption concept; theextend to which differential marketing patterns are related to business and economic performance,and finally to identify the influence of managerial decision making and their planned patterns ofstrategic behavior in the development and ongoing process of marketing adoption.
