Abstract

Uno de los elementos críticos para la evolución de un cuerpo fundamental del conocimiento en el campo del mercadeo, así como para el mejoramiento de sus prácticas, es la formulación de mediciones para las variables con las cuales trabaja el profesional de mercadeo. Actualmente, las empresas colombianas utilizan la adaptación de instrumentos que encuentran libremente en Internet o en los libros especializados en mercadeo, que utilizan escalas traducidas directamente del original en inglés. Debido a que los constructos miden fenómenos de mayor complejidad, ésta práctica disminuye la efectividad en la gestión del mercadeo, porque el instrumento no es confiable ni válido. A partir de los resultados obtenidos en esta investigación, se evidenció la necesidad de explicar un proceso general para la formulación de constructos, en términos que permitan satisfacer las necesidades de instrumentos apropiados y que sirva de base para futuros estudios. || A critical element in the evolution of a fundamental body of knowledge in marketing, as well as for improved marketing practice, is the development of measures of the variables with which marketers work. Colombian companies are using adapted tools from original English language found freely on Internet or marketing texts books. Because measure constructs more complex phenomena, this practice decreases the effectiveness in managing the marketing for the reliability and validity of the translated instrument is not measured. From the results obtained in this research, the need to explain a general process for developing constructs in terms that meet the needs of appropriate instruments and as a basis for future studies is evident.
