“…In their thorough review of the previous literature, Aulakh and Kotabe (1992) indicated that previous marketing management studies have tended to focus more on the product and promotion elements, with less focus on the elements of price and place. Likewise, though management process has long been regarded as an important aspect of marketing standardisation, the relationship between the organisational structure and standardisation Chung 85 concerning the management process element is yet to be determined (Walters, 1986;Ozsomer et al, 1991;Krum and Rau, 1993;Griffith, Hu and Ryans, 2000). Thus, an examination of the issue of decision structure and marketing standardisation concerning the price, place and management processes seems warranted.…”
