Resumo(s)
Os programas de marketing referral têm vindo a tornar-se numa ferramenta popular entre as empresas. Os seus benefícios são um tema polémico na literatura, uma vez que são programas propensos a atraírem utilizadores com um comportamento de compra oportunista. Como resultado disso, a entrega de recompensas despoleta uma corrida ao reward por parte de utilizadores com perfil oportunista. No presente estudo, propomos um modelo matemático baseado em agentes e suportado por 20.000 simulações, capaz de estudar o impacto desta população na disseminação do programa e na sua lucratividade. Mostrámos que os agentes interessados numa recolha oportunista do reward são responsáveis pelo sucesso do programa e pela sua disseminação. Este efeito ganha dimensão quando a disparidade monetária entre o custo do serviço e o valor do reward é maior. Por fim, concluímos que o aumento do número de convites, que os oportunistas realizam, despoleta uma intensificação dos resultados supra indicados.

We have shown that agents interested in an opportunistic reward collection are responsible for the success of the program and its dissemination.
