Why is it important?

To cater to the exploratory nature of this study a thorough importance performance map analysis for PPI was also performed. Findings confirmed that among all five EO dimensions autonomy and innovativeness have the highest importance for determining PPI. Whereas, among OLC and ODS, OLC has a high level of importance for determining PPI in the textile industry.

Perspectives

Findings confirmed that autonomy, innovativeness and proactiveness have a significant impact on OLC. Whereas, risk-taking and competitive aggressiveness do not have a significant impact on OLC. Moreover, it is found that all five aforementioned EO dimensions have a significant impact on ODS. Furthermore, a substantial and significant impact of OLC and ODS in determining PPI is also confirmed.
