Purpose – Academic and practitioner interest has focused on innovation as a method of competitive differentiation and as a way to create customer value. However, less attention has been devoted to developing a measure of innovation culture. The purpose of this paper is to develop an...

The dimensions of market knowledge competence (MKC) in new product development are still not sufficiently understood. This research presents a conceptual framework of MKC that is multidimensional. It further develops items that assess the distinct dimensions of MKC. The measures of the three...

Although the importance of market knowledge competence (MKC) in new product export is assumed in the literature, its effects are not empirically tested due to an insufficient understanding of its dimensionality. This research presents a multidimensional framework of MKC in new product export....

Much of the current understanding of the effectiveness of Web sites is anecdotal and contained in case studies. Building on a review of these case studies, this study has two objectives: to evaluate systematically the relevance of the antecedents for which anecdotal evidence is available, and to...

Purpose – The paper sets out to examine the validity of Kaufmann and Stern's operationalisation of Macneil's norm theory which they used when creating a set of scales to evaluate the degree of relationality in business‐to‐business (B2B) exchanges. The scales that Kaufmann and Stern...

This paper introduces a new bibliometric tool, the journal diffusion factor. An argument is presented that the bibliometric indicators commonly used to measure the quality of research (journal impact factor, immediacy index and cited half‐life) offer little insight into the transdisciplinary...

This paper shows that the measure of diffusion introduced by Ian Rowlands called the journal diffusion factor (JDF) is highly negatively correlated with the number of citations, leading highly cited journals to get a low JDF, whereas less cited journals get a high JDF. This property reduces the...

Purpose – The aim of this short communication is to contribute to a growing debate about how we can measure the “quality” of journals. More specifically, the paper argues the need for a new range of standardized indicators based on reader (rather than author‐facing) metrics....

Purpose – The aim of the paper is to put forward a structured mechanism for web search evaluation. The paper seeks to point to useful scientific research and show how information practitioners can use these methods in evaluation of search on the web for their users. Design/methodology/approach...
