Specifically, this study explores market orientation’s role in the implementation of expanded pharmacy services and resulting performance implications among Canadian retail pharmacies. The results of the structural equation model showed that market orientation directly influenced the implementation of expanded pharmacy services and professional performance. The implementation of expanded pharmacy services was linked to professional performance and ultimately furthered financial performance. This study highlights the importance of how a market-oriented strategy and a pharmacy’s decision to implement expanded pharmacy services can increase the dual objectives of the retail pharmacy.","PeriodicalId":36008,"journal":{"name":"Health Marketing Quarterly","volume":"39 1","pages":"280 - 296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42313581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
