The aim of this article is to present a two-step analysis of a market orientation database about the Hungarian food processing small and middle sized enterprises (SMEs). There are two different scales describing the market orientation, the MARKOR and the MKTOR; we ascertain about their features if they are sufficient for the hypotheses of discrimin...

Purpose:
The Food Cravings Questionnaires are among the most often used measures for assessing the frequency and intensity of food craving experiences. However, there is a lack of studies that have examined specific cut-off scores that may indicate pathologically elevated levels of food cravings.

he preference of consumers of ham sausages is mainly determined on its texture. A method of determining hedonic score of texture and distinguishing different grades of ham sausages based on artificial neural network was established in this study. The topological texture of the artificial neural network was developed on the basis of analyzing the ha...
The current study should, first, answer the outstanding question whether domestic horses can discriminate not only small but large discrete quantities as well, using a discrimination task between two different-sized sets of food items. Second, this study examined basic statistical reasoning in horses. Subjects had to choose between two one-item sam...

... The results indicate that there is a positive, medium-strength linear relationship between corporate performance dimensions and the dimensions of market orientation; therefore, hypothesis H2 is confirmed. This result supports not only domestic research, but also many international results Polereczki, Kövér, Bareith, and Szakály, 2013;Kovács, Szakály and Polereczki, 2016;Kis, Kovács and Szakály, 2020;Kontor 2014b;Armario et al., 2008). ...

This study examines the market orientation and corporate performance of domestic enterprises in the health industry. The aim of the study is to explore the existence and the nature of the connection between market orientation adapted by SMEs in the domestic health industry and the subjective, perceived success, and competitiveness of these businesses. Market orientation was measured by the internationally standardised MKTOR scale. Corporate performance was tested by means of a scale based on subjective perception, during which the relative weight of particular performance categories for the enterprise was taken into consideration. With regard to corporate performance, two categories were examined: competitiveness and effectiveness. The basis for the primary research was provided by personal interviews, including 251 items, conducted with marketing specialists (for lack of them, general managers) of businesses in the health industry. Data collection was carried out in 2018 in collaboration with a market research company. The connection between market orientation and corporate performance was assessed using linear correlation and regression analysis. The results of our primary research revealed a positive, medium-strong relationship between market orientation and corporate performance. With a more detailed examination of the dimensions of market orientation, customer orientation, and competitor orientation were found to significantly explain competitiveness and effectiveness. It has been shown that with the increase in rival spirit, the market orientation of companies accounts for the dispersion of competitiveness to an increasingly lesser extent. This means that, for some businesses with good capacity to compete, the propensity to compete is obviously the result of market orientation. All the while, as regards the rest of those businesses, other factors may play an important role (such as social capital, production structure, and strategy). Their precise result is that these companies are not ‘forced’ in the market to adapt the market orientation. Since the increase in market orientation leads to better corporate performance, companies should lay more emphasis on the improvement of their market orientation, especially in the cases when other factors of competitive ability are not possible for the company to acquire or the costs are too high.
