Abstract:
This paper provides a comparative analysis of market orientation in the New England States Commercial Fish Processing Sector to that of Atlantic Canada. Part I is an exploratory analysis of market orientation in the New England setting. Part II is concerned with the construction of a parsimonious seasonal market orientation model for the North-Eastern Atlantic Commercial Fish Processing Sector. Using structural equation modeling, the author provides an interpretable solution of market orientation in this broad industry setting. The paper concludes with a discussion of limitations on the research, and recommendations for future research initiatives.
