Relationship quality as antecedent of customer relationship proneness: a cross-cultural study between Spain and Mexico

Abstract

Some factors such as the globalization and the development of information technologies are changing the dynamics of the relationship marketing bases. The new competitive framework defined by the relevance of online channels have caused the way of approaching relationship management with consumers to change. In this context, relationship quality (RQ) allows to understand the proneness of consumers to keep their commercial relations alive. Several are the studies that analyse RQ antecedents, but none has used a comprehensive management approach that includes resources and capabilities (such as market orientation or knowledge management), as perceived by customers, that a company has available for management in order to enhance said RQ in an online context. This work-in-progress aims to analyse the effect of said perceived quality on the consumer’s proneness to maintain the relationship under a cross-cultural context, considering the perceptions of Spanish and Mexican users of online banking services
