  • Title: The relationship of service user closeness and belief in departmental values with perceived marketing effectiveness of hospital pharmacy directors.
    Author: Grauer DW, Pathak DS.
    Journal: J Hosp Mark; 1996; 11(1):95-115. PubMed ID: 10161850.
    Abstract:
    This study examines the relationships between department values, service user closeness and marketing effectiveness as perceived by hospital pharmacy directors. Data from 171 hospital pharmacy directors, representing a cross-section of hospitals, revealed that departments of pharmacy characterized as having superior perceived marketing effectiveness also have shared department value profiles. However, no significant relationship was found between perceived level of marketing effectiveness and perceived service user closeness. More years of experience as a director and the larger the size of pharmacist staff each positively influence the director's perception of marketing effectiveness. The results of the study indicate that hospital pharmacy directors generally perceive the services offered by their respective departments are marketed effectively.
