Resumen de This paper investigates the meaning of sustainable luxury among the wealthy, who are the primary target group of luxury brands.

• This study adopts a meta-analytic approach to review the performance effects of the market predictors of new product performance and their structural relationships. Based on empirical findings from the relevant studies published before 2011, this study has a number of interesting findings. First, market orientation, competitor orientation, product advantage and launch proficiency are the dominant drivers of new product performance. Second, market orientation, marketing synergy, product advantage and competitive intensity have significant effects on new product performance. Third, product advantage serves as an important intermediary between the market predictors and new product performance. Fourth, product innovativeness per se does not affect new product performance. Finally, launch proficiency translates the effect of market orientation into new product performance. These findings not only identify the dominant market drivers of new product performance, but also profile the routes leading to better new product performance. Some important implications for market research and practice are also provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
