By customer profitability analysis, companies can not only find reasons for making profit, but also draft different strategies for customers with different profitability, optimize the allocation of resources, and increase the overall profits. This study adopts field empirical method through the cooperation with the case company, and analyzes the factors influencing customer profitability by building multiple-regression models. The study results show that the factors influencing customer profitability are business period, card class, numbers of primary card, capital needs, revolving situation, categories of spending, card usage rate, customer loyalty, etc. According to the research results, this study also proposes certain suggestions about the marketing and management strategies, helping the case company frame the strategy themes in the balaced scorecard

Master thesis "Customer Profitability Analysis Based on Activity Based Costing" describes opportunities of customer profitability analysis and activity based costing management. Theoretical part of the thesis is focused on description of activity based costing, advantages and disadvantages, implementation and use for customer profitability analysis. In the practical part of the thesis I have used theoretical background in trade company E-centrum, a. s. For the company I prepared complete customer profitability analysis and activity based costing model. Based on the analysis I suggested many recommendations for the company.

The dissertation thesis aims to establish a complex theoretical basis for a measurement of customer's profitability which can be easily used in the practice. The main reason for that is the absence of such publication in the current academic sphere. A combination of management accounting and knowledge of banking enables to achieve the aim. The thesis itself is closely linked to the banking practice. There are derived customer's profitability indicators as modifications of the popular RAROC in which a customer margin is used instead of net profit. There is designed a simplified way of operational cost allocation. Questionnaires and interviews with senior representatives of seven Czech banks helped to identify the most significant labor-intensity factors of corporate customers. The description of principal features of risk costs and derivation of formulas for profitability variances are also the part of the thesis. The theoretical part is followed by the practical one where a contemporary banking practice of corporate customer's profitability measurement on the Czech market is explored. It identified three weak points -- cost allocation, profitability variances and one-year horizon of a calculation. At the end, the theoretical basis is applied on an existing customer portfolio and the result is compared with a currently used customer's profitability measurement.

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka svenska och amerikanska företagsmäklares inställning till kundkapitalet och dess värderingsmodeller. Studien syftar även till att finna konsekvenser som en explicit redovisning av kundkapitalet skulle ha på företagsvärderingar.   Tidigare forskning: Centrala modeller i studien är Customer Lifetime Value, Customer Equity, Customer Profitability och Multi-Period Excess Earnings Model. Tidigare forskning hittas i Edvinsson och Malone (1997), Gupta et al (2004), Villanueva och Hanssens (2007), Wiesel et al., (2006) samt Hofstedes forskning om nationella dimensioner.    Metod: Studien använder metodtriangulering. Huvudsaklig primärdata genereras ur webbaserade enkäter som skickas till svenska och amerikanska företagsmäklare. Vidare utförs tre semi-strukturerade intervjuer med representanter från KPMG, Deloitte och UC. Ett chi-tvåtest utformas för att se om det finns ett samband mellan nationalitet och företagsmäklares inställning till att beakta kundkapitalet.   Slutsats: 72 procent av de deltagande företagsmäklarna och samtliga intervjupersoner anser att det är viktigt att värdera kundkapitalet. Trots detta är det endast 38 procent av enkätrespondenterna som svarar att de beaktar kundkapitalet vid värdering av kundbaserade företag. En jämförelse mellan nationaliteterna visar att svenska företagsmäklare är mer positiva till de ”nya” kundvärderingsmodellerna, främst Customer Equity och Customer Profitability. De är också mer benägna att använda dessa. Amerikanska företagsmäklare tenderar istället att använda den traditionella Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method. / Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate Swedish and American business appraisers’ attitude towards customer capital and its valuation models. This thesis also aims to find consequences that an explicit accounting of customer capital would have on business valuations.  Previous Research: Central models in this study are Customer Lifetime Value, Customer Equity, Customer Profitability and Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method. Previous research is found in Edvinsson and Malone (1997), Gupta et al., (2004), Villanueva and Hanssens (2007), Wiesel et al., (2006) and Hofstedes research regarding cultural dimensions. Method: This study uses a triangulation of methods. The main primary data is generated through internet-based questionnaires which was sent to Swedish and American business appraisers. Furthermore, three semi-structured interviews are conducted with representatives from KPMG, Deloitte and UC. A chi-Squared test is made to see if there is any relationship between nationality and business appraisers’ attitude towards taking heed of the customer capital. Conclusion:  72 per cent of the participated business appraisers and all interviewees think that it is important to value customer capital. Despite this, there are only 38 per cent of the survey respondents who say that they account for customer capital when valuing customer-based companies. A comparison between the nationalities show that Swedish business appraisers are more positive towards the “new” customer valuation models such as Customer Equity and Customer Profitability. They are also more inclined to use these. American business appraisers tend to use the more traditional Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method.

隨著相關管理技術之發展，準確衡量個別顧客所帶來的利潤已非難事，除此之外，亦有越來越多學者發現大多數企業之利潤其實集中於少部分客戶身上，符合80/20法則，因此本研究乃以一個案銀行內部之授信顧客資料為研究樣本，結合公司內外部相關資訊，探討影響顧客授信利潤高低之因素為何，以幫助企業有效配置行銷資源，作為企業實行客戶關係管理之參考。 在研究變數方面，本研究先針對全部樣本探討顧客交易習性、本身屬性(如年數、規模、獲利能力、成長趨勢、創新程度)、銷售人員特質等對顧客利潤之影響，嗣後再將顧客依行業別與往來期間作一區隔，探討不同行業別與往來期間之顧客利潤影響因素是否相同。 本研究研究結果顯示，顧客交叉銷售數、年數、獲利能力、成長趨勢、創新程度等皆會對顧客利潤產生影響。在短期內，僅交叉銷售會對顧客造成影響，然在中長期，除了交叉銷售數外，顧客之年數、獲利能力、成長趨勢、創新程度等皆會對顧客利潤產生影響，由此可知，在短期內，個案公司所採行之交叉銷售策略係增進顧客利潤最有效之方式，然就中長期而言，仍須考量顧客本身的屬性(如年數、規模、獲利能力、成長趨勢、創新程度)與本身銷售人員之特質，因此，就長期而言，選擇正確之顧客與培育適當的銷售人員亦為增加顧客利潤之關鍵因素。然在行業別方面，非高科技業顧客之模式並不顯著，顯示非高科技業顧客利潤影響因素可能仍受其他因素影響，值得後續研究進一步探討。 / With the development of related management technology, it’s easier for business to measure the customer profitability now. In addition, there’re more and more researchers indicate that in most company the profitability are concentrated on a few customers, which is according to the 80/20 rule. Accordingly, this research combines internal and external information from one bank in Taiwan to analyze the factors that affect the loan customer profitability in that bank. The purpose of this research is try to help business allocate marketing resources effectively, and try to provide for business as a reference to implement CRM. In the respect of variables, at first this research tries to analyze the affection of customer trading style, customer attributes, sales person attributes to customer profitability, after that this research will try to analyze whether the affection factors are the same or not when customers are in different industry and have different transaction period. Finally, this research has found that customer cross-selling number, year, profitability ability, growth rate, innovation degree and sales person have affection on customer profitability. In short-term period, only customer cross-selling number will affect the customer profitability, and in long-term period, in addition to customer cross-selling number, other variables like customer year, profitability ability, growth rate, innovation degree and sales person will also affect customer profitability. It indicates that in short-term period, the cross-selling strategy adopt by the research company is the best most effective way to increase customer profitability. But in long-term, selecting the right customer and training adequate sales employers are also very important factors to increase customer profitability. When taking industry into consideration, this research has found that the variables mentioned above also have affection on the customer profitability in high technology industry, but in non-high technology industry, the statistic model is not significant and could be discuss by further researches.

在以往探討非財務性績效指標與財務績效指標關係的相關文獻中，大多以品質、顧客滿意度、瑕疵率及準時送達率為主，甚少討論顧客生命週期時間（customer lifetime）。本研究主要探索顧客生命週期時間與顧客獲利力的關係、顧客生命週期時間的影響因素與多重通路的相關議題。 本文以一家大型電視購物業的公司為個案，64,632名顧客30個月的交易資料為樣本，實證結果發現：（一） 顧客生命週期時間與顧客獲利力的關係為正向關係。（二）顧客的交易金額與顧客生命週期時間呈正向關係；平均間隔購買時間、自有品牌與耐久財對顧客生命週期時間的關係為反向關係；退貨次數與顧客生命週期時間是U字形關係。（三）自電視購物通路所取得的顧客，未來的顧客生命週期時間會較短，但自型錄通路所取得的顧客則會較長；來自電視通路的顧客利潤顯著高於其它通路。（四）使用多重通路的顧客其顧客生命週期時間顯著高於單一通路的使用者，但顧客利潤則顯著低於單一通路的使用者。 / Non-financial measures have been widely advocated and adopted, such as quality, customer satisfaction, defective rate, and on-time delivery rate. However, empirical research has little focus on customer lifetime. This study explores (1) the relationship between customer lifetime and customer profitability; (2) the determinants of customer lifetime; (3) the impact of multi-channel shopping on customer profitability and customer lifetime. Using 64,632 customers level data (30 months) from a large TV Shopping company, this study finds: (1) the relationship between customer lifetime and customer profitability is positive; (2) customer transaction amount is positively related to customer lifetime duration; average interpurchase time, private brand, and durable goods are negatively related to customer lifetime duration; the relationship between customer’s return frequency and customer lifetime is U shape; (3) the customer lifetime duration of TV channel customers is shorter than that of other channel customers, but the customer profitability of TV channel customers is larger than that of other channel customers; (4) the customer lifetime duration of multi-channel customers is longer than that of single channel shoppers, but the customer profitability of multi-channel customers is less than that of single channel customers.

隨著資訊科技與生產技術大幅進步，以及全球化及自由化下瞬息多變的競爭環境，經營者除了關注企業內部的議題外，亦需了解全球經濟發展趨勢與產業脈動，在競爭者與客戶回應之前，提出有效對策因應，如此才能在激烈的競爭中存續與發展，維持競爭力及提升經營績效。因此，現今企業勝出的核心關鍵不再單純依賴規模與效率，而是如何發揮創意，找出新的競爭定位，並藉助資訊快速運算及不斷增強的商業智慧功能來改善企業本身的經營條件，甚或尋求新的商業模式。 個案公司是一家電子零組件製造與銷售公司，主要產銷連接器、軟性排線及線材組件。和大多數公司一樣，個案公司目前正面臨全球化競爭帶來的挑戰。處於原物料及人力成本持續上漲的壓力，以及面對客戶少量多樣客製化的產品需求與愈趨繁複的出貨要求下，個案公司之產品毛利愈來愈低。為解決這些經營上的問題，個案公司期待運用ERP資訊系統客製「商品計價作業」來反映成本上漲對產品報價的變動，並藉此快速且適度反應到對客戶的報價上，以期提升經營彈性，因應市場變化。 本研究從個案公司為了因應市場變化而建置資訊系統，以期快速且正確的反映產品報價的需求出發，首先針對個案公司，應用企業流程資訊有機體(Process-Wide Information Organism, PWIO)分析模式，重現及檢視個案公司銷售流程，並結合時間導向的作業基礎成本制求算出客戶最終毛利，據此重分類客戶屬性，並提出對應之銷售策略及對資訊系統需求之反思與建議。 關鍵字：企業流程資訊分析模式、顧客利潤分析、時間導向作業基礎成本制度 / Information technology and manufacturing techniques are greatly improved by days. The globalization and liberalization make industrial competition fierce and ever-changing. Under such circumstances, the company managements can not only focus on internal topics but should observe the global economic development trend and also the commercial and industrial variety. They should put forward solution strategies to deal with the responses of competitors and requests of customers. Only then can they keep competition power and enhance the operation profit to continue sustainable operation and development in the sharp competition. Therefore the key success factor today is not to depend on operation scale and efficiency only but to bring creativeness into full play to find the competition advantage of the company. In addition, they should improve management conditions by means of rapid information operation and ever-growing business intelligent features or to create new business model. A case company is a component manufacturing and sales company. Its main products are connectors, flexible flat cable and wire harness. Facing the severe global competition as the others, the company is challenged by margin issue due to increasing cost of raw material and labor, customized products requests with high-mix/ low-volume. To conquer this business issue, the case company plans to utilize ERP to build up the “Product Pricing Program” to re engineer the pricing methodology by reflecting the increased cost in the quotations to customers. The pricing process can enhance the operation efficiency to respond to the variety market changes. To deal with the market changes, the case study is aimed to establish effective information system for the purpose of responding rapidly and precisely to pricing decision. The research reviews and inspects the sales flow of the case company by Process-Wide Information Organism (PWIO). It also combines the time-oriented activity base costing (ABC) to forecast the final gross profit of customers. Based on this, the case company could re-categorize the customer segmentation and put forward related sales strategy and enhancement on the demand of information system. Key words: Process-Wide Information Organism (PWIO); Customer profitability analysis; Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing

Accounting and marketing are very different disciplines. The analysis of customer profitability is one concept that can unite accounting and marketing as a common denominator. In this article I search for common ground between accounting and marketing in the analysis of customer profitability to determine if a common denominator really exists between the two. This analysis focuses on accounting profitability, customer lifetime value, and customer equity. The article ends with a summary of what accountants can do to move the analysis of customer value forward, as an analytical tool, within companies. / Si bien la contabilidad y el marketing son disciplinas muy distintas, el análisis de la rentabilidad del cliente es un concepto que puede unirlas mediante un denominador común. Entonces, en este artículo se pretende encontrar puntos comunes entre la contabilidad y el marketing a través del análisis de la rentabilidad de clientes y, por lo tanto, determinar si realmente existe un denominador común entre los dos. El análisis se enfoca en la rentabilidad contable del cliente, el valor del tiempo de vida del cliente, y el valor de la cartera de clientes. Se termina con un resumen de lo que pueden hacer los contadores para promover el análisis del valor de clientes dentro de las empresas como una herramienta analítica.

In cooperation with a consumer credit company based in Stockholm, this bachelor thesis investigates if the customer profitability in the consumer credit market can be predicted with multiple linear regression. Data collected before the initial credit was accepted and data connected to the account activity of the customers' first nine months are analyzed. Further, it is examined if the findings could be useful in a profitability analysis and as a reduction of adverse selection. The findings show that a number of covariates express promising correlations with the costumer profitability. However, the prediction error is high and not efficient in individual cases. Further, some reduction in adverse selection, due to a decrease in asymmetric information between the customers and the company, can be identified, but further research is encouraged. Finally, potential improvements are discussed, especially concerning the choice of regression algorithm. / I samarbete med ett konsumentkreditbolag baserat i Stockholm undersöker detta kandidatexamensarbete om kundlönsamhet inom marknaden för konsumentkrediter kan förutsägas med hjälp av multipel linjär regression. Data består av information som insamlades innan den initiala kreditförfrågningen accepterades, och av kontoaktivitet under kundens nio första månader. Vidare undersöks om resultatet kan användas i en lönsamhetsanalys och som en metod för att minska snedvridet urval.  Resultatet visar att ett antal kovariat uttrycker en lovande korrelation med kundlönsamheten. Dessvärre är felen från förutsägelserna stora och därför ineffektiva gällande estimering av individuella kunder. Fortsättningsvis kan det identifieras viss reduktion av snedvridet urval som en följd av minskad informationsasymmetri mellan kunderna och företaget, men vidare undersökning uppmuntras. Avslutningsvis diskuteras ett antal förbättringsmöjligheter, framför allt gällande val av regressionsalgoritm.
