Dominik Kemsa develops a comprehensive framework to objectively assess a firm´s position with respect to Marketing Excellence (MEXC). Drawing on resource-based theory MEXC is conceptualized as a holistic framework of capabilities, which can be the source of sustained competitive advantage and concomitant superior firm performance. Conducting a large-scale literature review and synthesizing the findings from different research areas, this book finds that MEXC can be measured with the help of a set of 25 secondary data indicants, which are aggregated to a MEXC dashboard.
