A measure of revenue management orientation and its mediating role in the relationship between market orientation and performance

This research conceptualizes revenue management as a specific strategic orientation-that is, the belief, and the processes that guide this belief, that revenue management leads to greater performance. As a first step, we propose REMANOR, a two-dimensional measure of revenue management orientation (RMO). Then, we investigate the impact of RMO on firm performance in the French hotel industry. The results show that RMO plays a mediating role in the relationship between market orientation and performance. The article also highlights the moderating role of customers' acceptance of revenue management practices on the RMO-performance relationship. The article concludes with the theoretical and managerial implications of the research.
