Abstract
A transdisciplinary literature review enabled us to identify a new construct in the marketing research field, i.e. Customer-Company Identification. It is defined as the process whereby customer’s beliefs about a company become self-defining and whereby he defines himself by the same attributes he believes define the other customers of this company. This research aims at developing a measurement scale of the construct and showing its relational consequences, such as knowledge about the company, empathy, relationship investment and attachment.Relations avec la clientèle; Identification; Relationship marketing;
