هدف:
این پژوهش به دنبال تعیین میزان تعامل مشتری در ایجاد ارزش برای شرکت در طول چرخه عمر رابطه در صنعت بیمه است.
طراحی/روششناسی/رویکرد:
مجموعاً ۳۷۶ مشتری صنعت بیمه که از خدمات بیمه عمر استفاده میکردند، با تکمیل یک پرسشنامه در این مطالعه شرکت کردند. دادهها با استفاده از تحلیل عاملی تأییدی و تحلیل واریانس بررسی شدند.
یافتهها:
نتایج نشان داد که مشتریان در مراحل ایجاد (buildup) و بلوغ (maturity) رابطه، بیشترین تعامل را در ایجاد ارزش برای شرکت دارند. تعامل مشتری در مرحله بلوغ رابطه، از لحاظ "ارزش طول عمر مشتری" (Customer Lifetime Value)، "ارزش تأثیر مشتری" (Customer Influence Value) و "ارزش دانش مشتری" (Customer Knowledge Value) در بالاترین سطح قرار دارد. همچنین، بیشترین ارزش ایجادشده توسط ارجاعات مشتری، در مرحله ایجاد رابطه رخ میدهد.
کاربردهای عملی:
در نظر گرفتن سطح رابطه مشتری با شرکت برای دستیابی به ارزش بیشتر، از طریق تعامل مستقیم و غیرمستقیم ضروری است. بنابراین، شرکتهای خدماتی که به اهمیت سرمایهگذاریهای متفاوت برای مشتریان واقفاند، باید استراتژی بخشبندی مشتریان بر اساس چرخه عمر رابطه و شخصیسازی خدمات را در دستور کار خود قرار دهند تا به بالاترین ارزش تعامل مشتری و استفاده بهینه از منابع خود برسند.
اصالت/ارزش:
این مطالعه اولین پژوهش تجربی است که بهطور پویا ارزش تعامل مشتری را ارزیابی میکند و نشان میدهد که ارزش تعامل مشتری چگونه در مراحل مختلف چرخه عمر رابطه، بر اساس نظریه پویایی روابط (Relationship Dynamics Theory) تغییر میکند.
