[pt] Alguns autores apontam que o marketing de relacionamento veio para suplantar o então considerado obsoleto marketing transacional. Para testar essa afirmação, autores como Brodie e Munro (1997) e Coviello, Milley e Macolin (2001), baseados nas definições de marketing relacional de Grönroos (1996), definiram diferentes tipos de marketing de relacionamento, que foram posteriormente testados em pesquisas realizadas com empresas em vários países. Essas pesquisas, porém, revelaram que não há uma substituição de um tipo de marketing pelo outro, mas sim que o marketing relacional e o marketing transacional co-existem dentro das empresas. Esta dissertação, baseada em uma pesquisa exploratória descritiva, realizada por meio de questionário aplicado a 128 empresas, constatou que os diferentes tipos de marketing também co-existem dentro das empresas brasileiras, mas que a prática do marketing transacional, em conjunto com o marketing relacional, não trouxe retornos mercadológicos e financeiros satisfatórios nos últimos três anos para as empresas. / [en] Some authors state that the Relationship Marketing came to suppress the Transactional Marketing once considered somewhat obsolete. In order to check this assertion, writers like Brodie and Munro (1997) and Coviello, Milley and Macolin, based on Grönroos Relationship Marketing definition (1996), defined different types of relationship Marketing which were checked later with surveys in companies over the countries. However, these researches showed that there is no replacement of one type of marketing for another and verified that both of them coexist in the companies at the same time. This research is a descriptive exploratory survey that was carried out by a questionnaire applied to 128 companies. It was concluded that the different types of marketing coexist in the Brazilian firms as well and, but that the practice of Transactional Marketing, in conjunction with the Relationship Marketing, has not brought marketing and financial returns satisfactory in the last 3 years for business.

Social media continues to serve as vehicles for fostering relationships with customers. One specific way to implement this is to create and operate brand fan communities on social networking sites. Brands can place posts (including videos, messages, quizzes, information, and other material) in these brand communities. By customer’s reposting or commenting on the posts, it subsequently reflects the brand post popularity. In order to investigate the possible drivers for brand post popularity in the Chinese social media context, this thesis selects Tuborg’s Green Fest as the case, its official account on Weibo as the platform, and analyzes the correlation between six driven factors and brand post popularity pairwise.  Results show that interactivity is the most important factor for popularity; a higher level of interactivity would help boost popularity. Followed by entertaining content and vividness are also two factors that positively related to brand post popularity. Moreover, the post theme of Fans interaction is most popular with fans, while the theme of Green Fest information would have negative impact on post popularity. Nevertheless, informational content is not welcome by the fans either, which may have a negative influence on popularity. Managers of brands that operate brand fan communities can be guided by this research with regards to deciding which characteristics or content to place in their brand posts.

[pt] O BNDES é, desde 1952, o principal provedor de financiamentos de longo prazo para investimentos na economia brasileira. Ao financiar projetos de seus clientes, o banco tem como objetivo promover o desenvolvimento do país. Neste processo, é fundamental selecionar, além dos melhores projetos, os clientes mais capacitados para executá-los, procurando então desenvolver um relacionamento com eles que garanta o sucesso dos projetos e a maximização dos impactos positivos para o país. O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar o ciclo de relacionamento com clientes no BNDES, utilizando como parâmetro as práticas preconizadas pelo Marketing de Relacionamento. Para esta análise, foi conduzida uma pesquisa qualitativa por meio de entrevistas em profundidade com quinze executivos do BNDES. As entrevistas foram integralmente gravadas e compiladas, sendo então identificadas problemáticas e temáticas vinculadas ao relacionamento do banco com seus clientes. Por fim, as problemáticas foram distribuídas pelo modelo de ciclo de relacionamento proposto por Stone, Woodcock e Machtynger (2001) e confrontadas com a teoria do Marketing de Relacionamento. A pesquisa revelou os hiatos entre a condução do relacionamento com clientes no BNDES e as práticas e conceitos preconizados pelos teóricos, assim como as possíveis conseqüências destes hiatos para a eficácia e eficiência na consecução dos objetivos estratégicos do banco. / [en] Since 1952, BNDES has been the leading provider of long-term funding for investments in the Brazilian economy, with the objective of promoting the country’s development. To maximize these effects, it is essential for the bank to manage relationships with the customers that will carry out the selected projects. This study aims to analyze the customer relationship cycle in BNDES, comparing the bank’s practices with the insights provided by the Relationship Marketing Theory. For this analysis, a qualitative research was conducted, by means of interviews with thirteen BNDES executives. These interviews were recorded, compiled and analyzed, allowing the identification of the main issues related to the bank s relationship with customers. Finally, these issues were distributed by the relationship cycle model proposed by Stone, Woodcock and Machtynger (2001) and confronted with the insights provided by the Relationship Marketing Theory. The analysis revealed the gaps between the relationship practices in BNDES and the concepts advocated by Relationship Marketing Theory and also identified the main reasons for their existence.

[pt] Nos últimos cinco anos o comércio eletrônico brasileiro cresceu de forma significativa, fato que pode ser evidenciado através do aumento no número de pessoas fazendo compras pela Internet e do crescimento no volume de vendas pela Web. Paralelamente, a competição no varejo virtual tem se acirrado e a tarefa de conquistar e manter clientes se tornado mais árdua. O objetivo desse trabalho foi o de investigar como as informações provenientes de interações de clientes em sites de comércio eletrônico podem ser transformadas em subsídios para a tomada de decisões e em ações que auxiliem na gestão do relacionamento com o cliente. Para isso, foi feita uma revisão de literatura que abordou os temas comércio eletrônico e relacionamento com o cliente, com ênfase no uso do CRM (Customer Relationship Management) em varejo virtual. Em seguida, foi realizado um estudo de caso em uma das maiores lojas virtuais atuantes no país. O estudo teve por foco o processo de captura, armazenagem, transformação e utilização das informações de clientes dentro da organização, que foi descrito e analisado utilizando-se o quadro conceitual construído a partir da literatura. Os resultados apontaram que as informações de clientes da empresa analisada são utilizadas principalmente para planejar ações de promoção de vendas e para fins de segmentação na comunicação de ofertas. Foram identificadas algumas oportunidades para um uso de nível mais estratégico e voltado para o estreitamento da relação com os clientes. / [en] In the last 5 years the Brazilian e-commerce has grown significantly, that can be proved by the increase in the number of people who shops through Internet and the growth in the volume of web sales.

A tecnologia da Internet oferece novas formas de relacionamento entre clientes e empresas, mas os desafios da lealdade permanecem. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os fatores influentes na lealdade ao fornecedor e ao canal de distribuição, focando possíveis diferenças entre opiniões e atitudes dos consumidores online e dos offline de livros, CDs e DVDs. Com tal intuito, as principais referências foram os modelos UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology), de Venkatesh et al. (2003), e ECM-IT (Expectation-Confirmation Model in IT Domain), de Bhattacherjee (2001b) e, ainda, os modelos de Coyles e Gokey (2002), Heijden, Verhagen e Creemers (2003) e Bramall, Schoefer e McKechnie (2004). Numa pesquisa qualitativa inicial, investigaram-se os atributos de lealdade inerentes às compras online e offline e, a partir destes, realizou-se uma pesquisa quantitativa com resultados analisados com o uso de técnicas estatísticas uni, bi e multivariadas. Entre os principais resultados, obteve-se que a maioria de consumidores destes produtos não é leal ao fornecedor e orienta-se sobretudo pela localização da loja (lojas físicas) ou pelo preço (lojas online) para voltar a uma mesma loja. Quanto à lealdade ao canal, para os consumidores exclusivos do canal offline, os aspectos mais relevantes para uma possível migração são a atitude em relação ao uso da tecnologia, a confiança, e a expectativa de performance. Para os que já compram pelo canal online, os fatores essenciais para continuar nesse canal são a satisfação, a confirmação de expectativas pós-compra, a expectativa de performance, e as condições facilitadoras. / Internet-based technology has allowed new relationship approaches between companies and their customers but customer loyalty has maintained itself as a challenge. The aim of this study was to identify key factors of loyalty to supplier and distribution channel, paying attention to possible disparities between opinions and attitudes of online and offline buyers of books, CDs and DVDs. Keeping this aim in mind, main adopted references were UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) model by Venkatesh et al. (2003), ECM-IT model (Expectation-Confirmation Model in IT Domain) by Bhattacherjee (2001b), and models developed by Coyles and Gokey (2002), Heijden, Verhagen and Creemers (2003) and Bramall, Schoefer and McKechnie (2004). Starting from a preliminary qualitative research, loyalty attributes related to online and offline purchase transactions were identified. Based on these attributes, a field quantitative research was conducted and the collected data were submitted to uni, bi and multivariate statistical techniques. Results of this study have suggested that major part of buyers of books, CDs and DVDs is not loyal to suppliers (stores), and store location, for offline buyers, and pricing, for online buyers, are key factors for guaranteeing their return to the same store. Considering the loyalty to distribution channel, it was suggested that factors such as attitude toward using technology, trust and performance expectancy are more important for offline buyers to decide to go online, while factors such as satisfaction, post-consumption expectation confirmation, performance expectancy and facilitating conditions are more valuable for online buyers continuance.

Cultivating profitable, long-lasting customer-supplier partnerships is a significant task for today's companies. These relationships bring value-adding benefits, including cost and risk reductions, and bring joint business opportunities (Ravald & Grönroos, 1996; McDonald, et al. 1997). Key account management deals with developing customersupplier partnerships within the business-to-business context. Key account managers are responsible for delivering customised products/services, and defining possible business opportunities for both parties, after carefully selecting buying companies according to their strategic importance for the supplier. However, key account management may be complicated for suppliers to manage especially if the selling companies do not know how to implement a key account management programme appropriately. There have been a number of studies attempting to identify approaches to successful key account management programmes (Millman & Wilson, 1995, Napolitano, 1997, Homburg et al., 2002). Abratt & Kelly (2002) were the first to investigate both buyers' and sellers' perceptions of success factors of a key account management programme. They found that both buyers and sellers hold similar points of view on what a successful key account management programme should contain.This thesis is a replication of Abratt & Kelly (2002), which refined their scale to obtain better reliability assessments and generalisability. Only some of the findings of the original study could be replicated. Six factors were extracted while only three of them were reliable. Some of the items loaded onto the same dimension in the replication as Abratt & Kelly (2002), whereas others did not. The discussion section of the thesis suggests reasons for the difference in findings and suggests future research areas based on this discussion.

[pt] Após a privatização do setor elétrico brasileiro, o Estado passou a responsabilidade de prestar o serviço básico de infra- estrutura, onde teria que investir em expansão e manutenção, para regular e fiscalizar o setor. Passado o longo e turbulento período da estabilização dentro de cada área de concessão, as empresas distribuidoras buscam novas alternativas de negócios, além do serviço principal. Dessa forma, a Ampla Energia e Serviços, empresa distribuidora do interior do estado do Rio de Janeiro, iniciou a comercialização de outros serviços junto à fatura de energia. Como por exemplo, venda de seguro em conta de energia. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre este novo mercado. A proposta do estudo é identificar, através de teorias de estratégias de marketing, marketing de relacionamento e estatística descritiva, se a comercialização do serviço de venda de seguro de vida vinculado à fatura de energia elétrica está atendendo às expectativas da Ampla S.A. / [en] After privatizing the electric power sector in Brazil, the state government had stopped investing in basic infrastructure services, as otherwise it would have to invest in expansion and maintenance, in order to regulate and inspect the sector. After a long period of turmoil until the stabilization of each concession area, power distribution companies searched for new business ventures, other than their core businesses. Thus, Ampla Energia e Serviços S.A, power Distribution Company that operates in Rio de Janeiro state, started adding more services to its portfolio, such as the insurance in energy bills. However, few information is available about this new market. This study aims to identify, through market strategy theories, relationship marketing and descriptive statistics, whether the sale of life insurance products included in the power distribution bill is fulfilling Ampla s expectations.

O mais importante, porém, é a empresa conhecer e saber utilizar o marketing direcionado para seus objetivos e para as necessidades dos consumidores. O presente estudo tem seu tema direcionado para o marketing de relacionamento. O objetivo principal da pesquisa é verificar quais das variáveis (a) infraestrutura e serviços oferecidos aos alunos; (b) confiança nas políticas e práticas gerenciais; (c) confiança nos professores e expectativas, prevalecem mais fortemente associadas ao seu relacionamento com a IES por parte dos alunos da Famper – Faculdade de Ampére. A pesquisa se classifica de natureza qualitativa descritiva, tendo como população os 544 alunos da instituição, e a amostra utilizada foi de 383 acadêmicos respondentes. Para atender o objetivo e identificar quais das variáveis previamente identificadas estão mais associadas ao relacionamento do acadêmico com a instituição, os dados foram apresentados e analisados através da estatística descritiva e análise de correspondência. Com a apresentação dos dados foi possível apresentar o perfil dos respondentes e as avaliações dos mesmos sobre cada variável e identificar os principais índices associados ao marketing de relacionamento. Constatou-se que a variável expectativa dos alunos é a que possui maior associação com a intenção de construir um relacionamento, seguida das variáveis confiança e serviços prestados que também demonstram uma boa associação. A principal contribuição deste trabalho foi, para o meio acadêmico, despertar o marketing de relacionamento como uma nova possibilidade de pesquisa, principalmente tendo seu direcionamento às instituições de ensino. Sugere-se que novas pesquisas abordem as expectativas dos clientes, explorando esta variável e contribuindo com o uso do marketing de relacionamento.
