Abstract
Little is known about how industrial buyers evaluate the importance of various components of a vendor’s marketing mix across different purchase situations. However, the importance of product, price, distribution, and promotion efforts may vary across different products and buy classes. To examine this assumption, a systematic role-playing study of 254 industrial purchasing executives was conducted. Results of the analysis suggest that relations among the marketing mix components vary by product type and buy class.
