Abstract

Studies reveal that marketing synergy is related to the market performance of new products, and thus is considered to be a fac­tor of their success. The goal of the article is to present results from an empirical study of the impact of marketing synergy on new prod­uct results in Bulgarian companies. The article outlines research on the resource theory as a base for the concept of marketing synergy, and presents different views of marketing synergy as a success factor in new product develop­ment. Marketing synergy is regarded as con­gruency between the existing marketing skills of the firm and the marketing skills needed to execute a new product initiative successfully. A methodological approach for research of the marketing synergy has been developed. Results of the empirical study reveal that there is a link between the level of marketing synergy and the indicators for measurement of new prod­uct results, but there isn’t a link between the level of marketing synergy and the level of new product success.
