Design and psychometric validation of a Customer Analytics Capabilities (CAC) scale: empirical evidence in Colombian organizations
Main Article Content
A pesar de que la medición de las capacidades de analítica del cliente (CAC) ha venido despertando interés entre académicos y empresarios, se carece de un instrumento que sintetice y describa las principales rutinas organizativas implicadas en tal constructo, sobre la base de manifestaciones empíricas aportadas por la literatura científica. El estudio busca aportar al cierre de esta brecha, mediante el diseño y validación psicométrica de un modelo de medida de las CAC. La muestra comprende datos de encuestas de 101 empresas colombianas; la fuente de información corresponde a profesionales de áreas de mercadeo o analítica. Se utiliza un marco de analítica psicométrica, el cual incorpora análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio. Se obtienen dos modelos de medida plausibles: uno unidimensional y otro tridimensional. El tridimensional consta de 10 ítems agrupados en los factores: capacidad para la analítica de captura de clientes, capacidad para la analítica del sostenimiento de clientes, y capacidad para la analítica de la evaluación económica de clientes. Éste satisface criterios de ajuste, validez de contenido, validez convergente y discriminante, fiabilidad y equidad (examinando área, cargo e infraestructura para analítica) y es útil cuando se desea profundizar en las dimensiones que conforman las CAC. El modelo unidimensional contiene 14 ítems, también presenta calidad psicométrica y es útil cuando se desea una aproximación parsimoniosa al atributo general de las CAC, sin requerir profundización o segmentación según dimensiones. Las escalas desarrolladas hacen medibles las CAC, a partir de un conjunto de rutinas que reconfiguran capacidades operacionales tradicionales en mercadeo. A su vez, facilitan la ejecución de diagnósticos organizativos confiables y la definición de agendas de trabajo para departamentos de analítica. Igualmente, propician futuros trabajos de relacionamiento entre las CAC y el desempeño empresarial.
