Title: Segmenting hospitals for improved management strategy. Author: Malhotra NK. Journal: J Health Care Mark; 1989 Sep; 9(3):45-52. PubMed ID: 10303934. Abstract: The author presents a conceptual framework for the a priori and clustering-based approaches to segmentation and evaluates them in the context of segmenting institutional health care markets. An empirical study is reported in which the hospital market is segmented on three state-of-being variables. The segmentation approach also takes into account important organizational decision-making variables. The sophisticated Thurstone Case V procedure is employed. Several marketing implications for hospitals, other health care organizations, hospital suppliers, and donor publics are identified.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
