Na condução do trabalho, foram examinados os diversos conceitos relacionados ao tema canais de distribuição/marketing, bem como a influência do macroambiente e as dimensões comportamentais do comportamento em canais, com ênfase em conflito e poder. Adicionalmente, foram investigados aspectos sobre o marketing de relacionamento e a evolução das trocas de transações para relacionamentos, bem com a revisão de cinco importantes modelos de relacionamento. Foi conduzida uma pesquisa empírica, sendo que a metodologia utilizada foi a Grounded Theory. O estudo conclui que os relacionamentos no canal de distribuição de alimentos no Brasil são conflituosos, predominando um processo constante de negociação entre os diversos agentes. Indica ainda evidências e que o poder no canal esteja migrando na direção dos consumidores e, portanto, na direção dos intermediários, sejam eles atacadistas ou varejistas. Oferece algumas indicações e especulações que podem contribuir para a explicação dos relacionamentos conflituosos e que estariam ligadas à estrutura e organização dos canais, a aspectos culturais e do ambiente institucional. / This thesis comprises an exploratory research on the relationship development process that takes place among the actor on the food distribution channel in Brazil. The main objective of this work is to describe and explain those relationships at their present state. In order to conclude this work, many the author revised the existent literature on marketing channels, its behavioral dimensions, with emphasis in power and conflict, and the macro environmental aspects that can influence the channel development. Additionally, some relationship marketing aspects were reviewed together with five important relationship models. The empirical research used a Grounded Theory approach. The main conclusion of this research is that the relationships are adversarial with the prevalence of conflict, fueled by the a continuous negotiation process that encompasses all agents. The research also suggests that channel power is moving from the producer towards the consumer, through the intermediaries. It also offers some insights some specific issue about the Brazilian channels environment that can help in explaining such relationships.

A propensão pode influenciar as recomendações do profissional aos clientes, e pode ser influenciada pelas características do profissional, do banco, e do relacionamento entre profissional e cliente.

Customer satisfaction, from the service quality perspective, has emerged as a new modus operandi for assessing customers’ perceptions and/or expectations of services in order to re-orient and regulate existing services. University library administrators in Sri Lanka, realising the necessity of complying with customer perception of high quality service, have begun to search for alternative ways to satisfy their clientele on the basis of service quality. This study therefore aims to meet this need by developing a model to assess the extent to which service quality indicators and other explanatory attributes may be used to predict customer satisfaction, from a service quality perspective. The research process used in the study was the “onion model,” which involved a combination of positivist and phenomenological inquiries that led to the use of qualitative and quantitative approaches in line with the purpose of the study, which was exploratory in nature and searched for causality. The design of the study involved two main stages: the exploratory stage and the main stage. In the exploratory stage, attributes and domain identification of service quality was carried out with a sample of 262 subjects. Based upon the exploratory study, four provisional models were constructed and tested in the main study, using a sample of 1840 subjects. The model based on the performance-only paradigm and the linearity assumption between the constructs was found to be the best parsimony model that provided for enhanced predictive performance, calibration and potential insight into attributes and domain relevance. Regarding overall satisfaction, responsiveness, supportiveness, building environment, collection and access, furniture and facilities, technology and service delivery as quality domains, involvement with the service, and knowledge of the customers as situational attributes and age, member category, university and gender as socio-demographic attributes were found to be significant. The final model may be used to design a simple measurement or monitoring process of library performance, and it may also be a useful tool for diagnosing service quality locally. This research further provides a keystone for other studies and may also stimulate the momentum of current research on service quality and/or customer satisfaction / Information Science / D.

Este trabalho aborda a estretégia de retenção de clientes por meio da prática do marketing de relacionamento no contexto do varejo e serviços de uma concessionária de veículos. Mais especificamente, a Passion Automóveis Ltda., concessionária da marca Peugeot, para as cidades de Bento Gonçalves/RS e Caxias do Sul/RS. O modelo teórico proposto por Sirdeshmukh, Singh e Sabol (2002) e suas respectivas hipóteses é utilizado para verificar o entendimento das práticas e comportamentos confiáveis percebidos nos prestadores de serviços e que constroem ou exaurem a confiança do consumidor e os mecanismos para converter a confiança do consumidor em termos de valor e lealdade em trocas relacionais. Para tanto, utilizou-se de uma amostra estratificada da população de pesquisa que totalizou 235 respondentes, e os dados foram coletados através de três formas de pesquisas: (i) entrevista por telefone assistida por computador; (ii) survey por correspondência; e (iii) survey eletrônica. O modelo utilizado (i) apresenta uma conceituação multidimensional para a construção de confiança; (ii) incorpora duas facetas distintas de confiança do consumidor, ou seja, os funcionários da linha de frente e as políticas e práticas gerenciais; e (iii) especifica o valor como um mediador entre a confiança e a lealdade nos relacionamentos. Os dados foram avaliados através da análise de estatística multivariada de dados, utilizando a técnica de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, e os resultados apóiam uma visão tri-dimensional das avaliações da confiança ao longo da competência operacional, da benevolência operacional e da orientação para solução de problemas. Além disso, foi encontrado evidências de contingente relações assimétricas entre as dimensões de confiabilidade na confiança dos consumidores. Para as políticas e práticas gerenciais, benevolentes práticas demonstraram um efeito de "negatividade" dominante (isto é, uma unidade de desempenho negativa tem um efeito mais forte do que uma unidade de desempenho positivo), para o pessoal de linha de frente, comportamentos orientados para solução de problemas do consumidor demonstraram um efeito de "positividade" dominante. O valor teve suporte estatístico para mediar parcialmente às facetas da confiança e a lealdade do consumidor. A faceta da confiança no pessoa de linha de frente teve um papel crítico em relação à faceta da confiança nas políticas e práticas gerenciais na lealdade do consumidor, evidenciando a confiança como unidimensional como antecedente da lealdade. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-06-03T17:39:03Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Lasier Gorziza de Souza.pdf: 3156048 bytes, checksum: 396c12085f2317907ff40f8a7b582f2d (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-06-03T17:39:03Z (GMT).

More specifically, the Passion Automóveis Ltda., Peugeot concessionaire for the cities of Bento Gonçalves/RS and Caxias do Sul/RS. The proposed framework by Sirdeshmukh, Singh and Sabol (2002) and their assumptions are used to check the understanding of practices and behaviors perceived to reliable service and that build or deplete consumer trust and the mechanisms to convert trust consumer in terms of value and loyalty in relational exchanges. To this end, we used a stratified sample of the population reserach which totaled 235 respondents, and data were collected from three types of searches: (i) telephone interview, computer-assisted, (ii) a survey by mail, and (iii) electronic survey. The model used (i) uses a multidimensional conceptualization for the trustworthiness construct; (ii) incorporates two distinct facets of consumer trust, namely, frontline employees and management policies and practices; and (iii) specifies value as a key mediator of the trust-loyalty relationship. The data were evaluated by analysis of multivariate data, using the technique of Structural Equation Modeling, and the results support a tripartide view of trustworthiness evaluations along operational competence, operational benevolence, and problem-solving orientation dimensions. Moreover, these works find evidence of contingent asymmetric relationship between trustworthiness dimension and consumer trust. For management policies and practices, benevolent behaviors demonstrate a dominant "negativity" effect (i.e., a unit negative performance has a stronger effect than a unit positive performance), for front-line employees, behavior oriented for problem-solving consumer demonstrated an effect of "positive" ruling. The value have statistical support to partially mediate the facets of trust in on consumer loyalty. The aspect of confidence in the personal front line played a critical role in relation to the aspect of trust policies and management practices in loyalty, showing the trust as one-dimensional as an antecedent of loyalty.

Inclusive business strategies that seek direct sourcing from smallholders in emerging countries have been acknowledged as a promising market-based approach to create social impact and improve the livelihoods of rural producers at the 'base of the pyramid', all the while enabling companies to strengthen their position in local markets and source quality raw materials at lower costs. Studies on this topic widely focus on the competitive and commercial advantages that food companies derive from directly sourcing from smallholder suppliers, presenting value chain models that can be tailored to fit their global business strategy, however there remains little theoretically-grounded knowledge on the inter-organizational and relational challenges of these buyer-supplier relationships. Moreover, little attention has been paid to how asymmetries between MNCs and smallholder suppliers in terms of power, dependence and value-orientation can affect the evolution of these relationships. The objective of the study was thus to describe the factors that enable these asymmetrical partners to build long-term and mutually beneficial business relationships. A grounded theory methodology was used, which was particularly appropriate to examine relationships and collect experiences from the field through interviews of both company executives and field staff and smallholders in three key sectors dominated by family agriculture in Brazil, namely dairy, poultry/swine husbandry and horticultural production. Key theoretical concepts from the field of Relationship Marketing were used to back the results from the field research. The main finding of this research is the importance of going beyond trust-building in the relationship management strategy and designing dyadic partnerships based on mutual interdependence in order to reduce asymmetries and enhance commitment between the MNC and the smallholder. / Esta pesquisa analisa o papel dos aspectos relacionais tais como confiança, comprometimento, interdependência e uso de poder âmbito das estratégias de negócios inclusivos que envolvem pequenos agricultores nas cadeias de valor de multinacionais dos agronegócios no Brasil. Os negócios inclusivos de abastecimento direto por empresas com pequenos agricultores em países em desenvolvimento têm sido reconhecidos como uma abordagem economicamente viavél e promissora para criar impacto social e melhorar as condições de vida de produtores rurais da 'base da pirâmide', ao mesmo tempo permitindo que as empresas reforçar as suas posições nos mercados locais e adquirir matérias primas de qualidade a custos mais baixos. Estudos sobre este tema focam amplamente sobre as vantagens comerciais e competitivas que as empresas derivam do abastecimento direito com pequenos fornecedores, apresentando modelos de cadeia de valor customizados e ajustados estratégias globais de negócios, no entanto ainda há pouco conhecimento teoricamente fundamentado sobre os desafios organizacionais e relacionais da relação entre o comprador multinacional e o fornecedor de baixa renda. Além disso, pouco foco tem-se prestado sobre como assimetrias entre multinacionais e produtores de baixa renda, em questão de poder, dependência e de valores pode afetar a evolução dessas relações de negócios. O objetivo do estudo foi descrever os fatores que permitem a esses parceiros assimétricos de construir relacionamentos comerciais de longo prazo e mutuamente benéficos. A metodologia da teoria fundamentada foi usada e foi particularmente adequada para examinar as relações entre comprador e fornecedor e para recolher experiências de campo em três setores principais dominados pela agricultura familiar no Brasil, ou seja laticínios, avi-suinocultura e produção hortícola. Os principais conceitos teóricos da área de Relationship Marketing foram usados para apoiar os resultados da pesquisa de campo. A principal conclusão desta pesquisa é a importância de ir além da construção de confiança na estratégia de gestão do relacionamento entre comprador e fornecedor e de criar parcerias diádicas baseadas na interdependência mútua, a fim de reduzir as assimetrias e melhorar o comprometimento entre a empresa e o pequeno agricultor.

Denna uppsats har syftat till att göra en kartläggning över hur personer över 55 år använder digitala kanaler inför resor samt deras åsikter kring denna användning. Genom en fallstudie av Kulturresor Europa har studien fått ett producentperspektiv som kan relateras till kartläggningen av åldersgruppen. För att genomföra detta har en kvantitativ enkätundersökning legat till grund. Denna enkät har distribuerats via olika digitala kanaler på internet. Dessa olika kanaler har haft som gemensam nämnare att de varit riktade mot reseintresserade personer vilket gjort att svaren förmodligen blivit mer relevanta för studien. Vidare har det även genomförts en intervju med Kulturresor Europa för att få en insikt i hur de arbetar mot åldersgruppen i deras dagliga arbete. En litteraturstudie har även blivit gjord för att skapa en teoretisk referensram för studien. Denna referensram är uppdelad i två delar varav den första innehåller teorier om marknadsföring. Här presenteras bland annat teorier kring relationsmarknadsföring och sociala medier som ett verktyg för detta. Den andra delen har fokus på målgruppen och presenterar teorier och statistik kring svenskar och äldre på internet, seniorer som turister och olika kategoriseringar av turister och teknikanvändare. En analys kring hur dessa teorier kan kopplas till kartläggningen av åldersgruppen och Kulturresor Europas arbetssätt har sedan gjorts för att svara på studiens syfte. I arbetet med denna uppsats har det tydliggjorts att denna åldersgrupp använder sig av internet i hög grad och på sociala medier är det framförallt på Facebook som de återfinns. De är överlag trygga med att boka och söka information om resor på internet men de tar gärna hjälp av en familjemedlem eller vän vid själva bokningen. En viss tendens till att målgruppen använder sociala medier i större utsträckning som ett kommunikationsverktyg än vad som tidigare forskning visat har även identifierats. Utöver detta verkar det som att målgruppen i vissa anseenden anser sig resa mer självständigt än vad de kanske gör. Denna information kan användas av Kulturresor Europa för att erbjuda mer flexibla alternativ på paketresan som ger känslan av ett mer självständigt val. För vidare forskning rekommenderas bland annat en mer djupgående studie med en kvalitativ ansats för att få reda på varför målgruppen tänker och agerar så som den gör. / The purpose of this essay has been to examine how people over the age of 55 use digital channels before travelling and their opinions of doing so. By a case study of Kulturresor Europa the essay has been getting a producer perspective in this matter, which gave the opportunity to analyze how they work in comparison to the examination of the age group. The base of this essay has been a quantitative survey, which has been distributed through a number of digital channels on the Internet. These different channels have had certain characteristics in which they’re all directed to people with travelling as an interest and therefore supposedly are legitimate for the purpose of this essay. Further on an interview has been done with Kulturresor Europa. The purpose of the interview was to get an insight of how they work with this age group on a daily basis. Also there has been made a literature study to create a theoretical frame of reference for this essay. This frame of reference is divided up into two parts in which the first one contains mainly of marketing related theories’. In this section you’ll get presented with theories’ of relationship marketing and social media as a tool in this matter. The second part is focused on the target group and is presenting theories’ and statistics about Swedes and the elderly on the Internet, seniors as tourists and different categorizations of technology users. An analysis of how these theories’ could be compared against the examination of the age group and how Kulturresor Europa’s work with them have later been done with the intention of answering the essays purpose. Working with this essay it has clarified that this age group has a high Internet usage with Facebook being the social media in which most of them can be found. They are generally confident about booking and searching information about travel in the Internet but they still would like to have a family member or a friend present during the actual booking. A certain tendency from this target group showing that their social media usage as a communication tool is increasing has been showing compared to previous research. In addition it seems that the target group in some aspects thinks of themselves as travelling more independently than what they might actually do. This information could be used by Kulturresor Europa to offer more flexible alternatives on travel packages, which will add a feeling of making an independent choice. Further research recommendations among other things are a more profound study with a qualitative approach to find out why the target group thinks and acts the way they do.

Trovärdigheten för traditionella medier har minskat vilket har lett till att det blivit svårare att kommunicera med kunder och lett till en ökad konkurrens bland företag. I takt med utvecklingen av internet och Web 2.0 blev digitala dagböcker populära som kommunikationsverktyg för företag. Digitala dagböcker har, utifrån problemdiskussionen, identifierats som företagsbloggar bland företag och har inom ramen för Public relations ansetts en lösning på problemet med att kommunicera med kunder. Detta då företagsbloggar präglas av faktorer i form av bland annat förmågan att föra god kommunikation med publiken, skapa relationer, bygga varumärket, differentiera företag från konkurrenter samt som ett bra verktyg för sökmotoroptimering. Vad som dock inte framgår är vilka faktorer som är viktiga för företag att upprätthålla en skapad företagsblogg. Syftet med denna studie är att ur ett företagsperspektiv undersöka och få förståelse för vilka faktorer som är viktiga för att företag ska upprätthålla sin företagsblogg som ett kommunikationsverktyg och syftet leder till frågeställningen: “Vilka faktorer är viktiga för att företag ska upprätthålla sin företagsblogg som ett kommunikationsverktyg?” Studiens urval grundar sig på företag som driver en företagsblogg och är verksamma inom tjänstebranschen och där inom marknadsstrategin business-to-business. Studien består av en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod som har genomförts via semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem företag inom ramen för urvalet. Intervjufrågorna formades efter studiens teoretiska ramverk som stod som grund för forskningen och hade huvudspår inom företagsblogg som kommunikationsverktyg, Public relations, relationsmarknadsföring och varumärkesbyggande. Slutligen analyserades empirin och kopplingar gjordes med relevanta teorier. Resultatet visar att kommunicera ut kunskap och information samt att skapa relationer är viktiga faktorer för att företag ska upprätthålla sin företagsblogg som ett kommunikationsverktyg. Resterande faktorer kan variera och beror på företagets storlek och affärsinriktning. / The credibility of traditional media has diminished over the years which has made it harder for companies to communicate with customers as well as it has increased the competition among companies. In line with the development of the internet and Web 2.0, digital diaries became popular as a communication tool for companies to use. Digital diaries have been identified as corporate blogs among companies and has been identified, within the frame of Public relations, as a solution to the communication problem with consumers that companies can deal with. Corporate blogs are characterized by factors such as the ability to communicate with the audience, create relationships, branding, differentiation as well as a good search engine optimization tool. What is not evident, however, is which are the factors that are important to maintain a corporate blog.  The purpose of the study is to, from a business perspective, examine and understand which factors that are important for companies to maintain their corporate blog as a communication tool and the purpose leads to the question at issue: “Which factors are important for companies to maintain their corporate blog as a communication tool?" The selection of the study is based on companies that are running an corporate blog and that are active in the service business industry within the business-to-business marketing strategy. The study consists of a qualitative study and the used method is semi-structured interviews with five companies within the selection of the study. The interview questions were formed in accordance with the theoretical framework of the study, which formed the basis for the research and had headlines in corporate blog as a communication tool, Public relations, relationship marketing and brand building. Finally, the results were analyzed and connections were made with relevant theories of the study. The results show that to communicate knowledge and information, as well as building relationships, are important factors for companies to maintain their corporate blog as a communication tool. The remaining factors may vary and depend on the size of the company and what business orientation the company has.

Las experiencias de los clientes van tomando mayor importancia en las organizaciones/ institutos educativos debido a que el mercado se vuelve más competitivo y se busca retener a los clientes a través de relaciones largas y sólidas. Hay una falta de investigación sobre la experiencia integral de los estudiantes en un servicio educativo online. Por ello, el objetivo de la presente investigación es evaluar la experiencia integral de los estudiantes en el servicio habilitante como parte del servicio de educación de una escuela de negocios. Se propone vincular los conceptos de experiencia del cliente, marketing relacional, marketing de servicios, y comunicación corporativa para conocer la experiencia general de los estudiantes. El enfoque de este trabajo es cualitativo. Se realizaron siete entrevistas a personas que pasaron por este servicio habilitante. Los resultados evidencian que el factor humano es considerado importante en el servicio educativo y que no puede ser reemplazado en su totalidad por la tecnología. También se evidencia que hay muchos factores que influyen en la decisión de un estudiante y que es necesario gestionar de manera adecuada, a través de un marco de valores institucionales. Se concluye que la experiencia integral es considerada como grata, ya que todos los elementos que juegan un rol en el servicio habilitante han sido considerados positivos; y que esta construye una expectativa hacia el resto del servicio educativo. / Customer experiences are becoming more important in educational organizations/institutes as the market becomes more competitive and they seek to retain customers through long and solid relationships. There is a lack of research on the integral experience of students in an online educational service. Therefore, the objective of this research is to evaluate the integral experience of students in the enabling service as part of the education service of a business school. It proposes to link the concepts of customer experience, relationship marketing, service marketing, and corporate communication to understand the overall experience of students. The focus of this work is qualitative. Seven interviews were conducted with people who went through this enabling service. The results show that the human factor is considered important in the educational service and that it cannot be completely replaced by technology. It is also evident that there are many factors that influence a student's decision and that it is necessary to manage them properly, through a framework of institutional values. It is concluded that the integral experience is considered a pleasant one, since all the elements that play a role in the enabling service have been considered positive; and that it builds an expectation towards the rest of the educational service. / Tesis

La réussite du marketing relationnel dépend des préférences individuelles des clients, ceux-ci n'étant pas tous également réceptifs aux approches relationnelles. Il apparaît, à ce titre, nécessaire d'approfondir la connaissance des bénéfices relationnels attendus par les clients. Dans un design mixte séquentiel, des entretiens non-directifs menés auprès de clients en gestion de patrimoine, puis auprès de clients de banques de réseau, montrent et confirment l'existence de trois profils relationnels distincts : transactionnel, relationnel psychologique et relationnel socio-valorisable. Une matrice combinant l'attitude à l'argent et le stéréotype du banquier révèle des profils hybrides souhaitables vs indésirables. L'étude quantitative crée une échelle de mesure du stéréotype du banquier, enrichit l’échelle de l’attitude à l’argent de la dimension tabou, et aménage une échelle des bénéfices relationnels attendus. Le test d'hypothèses dans un modèle d'équations structurelles montre le rôle du stéréotype du banquier, de l'attitude à l'argent du client, de ses valeurs culturelles et des incidents critiques, dans l'explication des bénéfices relationnels attendu. / The success of relationship marketing depends on individual preferences, knowing that clients are not all equally receptive to relational approaches. It appears necessary for this purpose to improve knowledge about client’s expected relational benefits. Within a sequential mixed design, non-directive interviews conducted with wealth management clients, then with retail bank clients, show and confirm the existence of three distinct types of relational profiles : transactional, psychological relational and socio-valuable relational. A matrix combining the money attitude and the banker stereotype reveals desirable vs undesirable hybrid profiles. The quantitative study creates a scale to measure the banker stereotype, enriches the money attitude scale with the taboo dimension, and produces a scale for the expected relational benefits. The test of hypotheses in a structural equations model shows the role of the banker stereotype, the money attitude, the cultural values and critical incidents, in the formation of expected relational benefits
