  15. Intelligence generation • the collection and assessment of customer needs/preferences • and the forces (i.e., task and macro environments) that influence the development and refinement of those needs. • Multiple departments should engage in this activity because each has a unique market lens.

  16. Intelligence dissemination • the process and extent of market information exchange within a given organization • should be balanced between both the horizontal (i.e., interdepartmental) and vertical transmission of marketplace information • dissemination of intelligence occurs both formally and informally

  17. Responsiveness • action taken in response to intelligence that is generated and disseminated • focuses on the degree to which marketplace needs influence the assessment of market segments and development of marketing programs • speed and coordination critical

  18. Integration • (1) an expanded focus on market rather than customer intelligence, • (2) an emphasis on a specific form of inter­functional coordination with respect to market intelligence, and • (3) a focus on activities related to intelligence processing rather than the effects of these activities

  19. How does one measure Marketing Orientation? • Using the MARKOR scale
