Résumé
Une étude exploratoire réalisée auprès de 54 PME manufacturières québécoises a permis de décrire leurs pratiques en matière de système d’information marketing (SIMk), soit en ce qui a trait à la collecte d’information, à l’analyse et à la diffusion de cette information. L’analyse structurelle d’un modèle causal à l’aide de la technique PLS a aussi permis d’identifier certains déterminants et effets du SIMk, notamment son influence sur les décisions marketing et la performance des PME.
