Sheth Foundation/Journal of Marketing Award Winners

The first-ever recipients of the Sheth Foundation/Journal of Marketing Award are Bernard J. Jaworski and Ajay K. Kohli for their article, "Market Orientation: Antecedents and Consequences," which appeared in the July 1993 issue of the Journal of Marketing (Vol. 57, No. 3, pp. 53-70). The award honors the article published in the Journal of Marketing that has made the most significant long-term contribution to the field of marketing 6-10 years after its publication. It is named in recognition of the outstanding career contributions to the field of marketing of Jagdish N. Sheth, Professor of Marketing at Emory University.

The research reported in Jaworski and Kohli's paper was sponsored by MSI, and it originally appeared in a February 1992 MSI Working Paper (Report Number 92-104).

Jaworski and Kohli's award-winning work addresses three questions: (1) Why are some organizations more market-oriented than others? (2) What effect does a market orientation have on employees and business performance? (3) Does the linkage between a market orientation and business performance depend on the environment context? The authors found a relationship between market orientation and factors such as top management’s emphasis on such an orientation, top managers?risk aversion, interdepartmental conflict and connectedness, centralization, and reward system orientation. Their findings suggest that market orientation is related to overall business performance, employees' organizational commitment, and esprit de corps. Moreover, the linkage between a market orientation and performance appear to be robust across environmental contexts varying in market turbulence, competitive intensity, and technological turbulence.

Bernard J. Jaworski holds the Markets Chair at Monitor Group and is Chief Idea Officer at Marketspace. Jaworski previously was the Jeanne and David Tappan Marketing Fellow and Professor of Marketing at the University of Southern California. Ajay Kohli is the Stiles Hopkins Professor of Marketing at Goizueta Business School at Emory University.
