Abstract:
Data aggregation across industries has been shown to be inappropriate in describing correlates of business firm performance. This study examines firms performing a similar function within one industry and suggests a further qualification to this analysis; it may be necessary to account for dominant and varying marketing strategies when estimating performance equations in some industries.
