Abstract:
In the present research work, authors aim to evaluate competitive priorities among the
manufacturing industries in Union Territory of Puducherry, India. Data were randomly
drawn from a sample of 52 executives of manufacturing industries in Union Territory of
Puducherry. For the purpose of analysis, authors have considered eight competitive
domains consisting of 43 factors. Cronbach’s Alpha is a commonly used procedure to
assess the internal consistency reliability of several items or scores that are going to be
used to create a summated scale score. To measure scaling performance of competitive
priorities in manufacturing industries, we have selected following domains such as
Quality, Cost, Delivery, Flexibility, Customer focus, Know- how, Innovation and Image.
Our statistical analysis reveals that quality, delivery, cost and customer-focus are the
most influencing domains on the competitive priority of manufacturing industries located
in Union Territory of Puducherry.
