Abstract(s)
A presença digital deixou de ser uma opção estratégica para as organizações. Esta situação é ainda mais uma realidade no domínio do turismo, em que o consumidor inicia e até por vezes decide o que fazer num destino muito antes de iniciar a viagem. Porém, tal como se constata em diversos estudos, nem todas as organizações exploram do mesmo modo as ferramentas digitais ao seu dispor. Na revisão de literatura efetuada encontraram-se várias métricas que podem ser usadas para aferir o nível de sofisticação da presença das empresas. Porém, estas ferramentas encontravam-se dispersas e necessitando de uma integração, pelo que se desenvolveu uma nova matriz de avaliação de sofisticação digital que foi o primeiro contributo académico deste trabalho.
Este estudo visou fazer o ponto de situação, medir o grau de sofisticação da presença digital das empresas de atividades de animação turística na Ilha de São Miguel no que concerne a sites oficiais, redes sociais, nomeadamente o Facebook e otimização de motores de busca, com recurso a esta nova matriz de avaliação.
A recolha de dados online teve início com a seleção dos sites das empresas a avaliar com base na matriz desenvolvida. Após a recolha, o tratamento dos dados foi efetuado com recurso a análises descritivas, índices e Modelo ACM.
Os resultados sugerem que, para além da inexistência de rasto digital no caso de algumas empresas, a forma como as demais empresas exploram a sua presença digital é díspar; um pequeno segmento explora ativamente a sua presença digital, enquanto outros apresentam lacunas que podem ser prejudiciais à angariação e satisfação dos clientes. Esta análise não só nos permitiu identificar o grau de sofisticação, mas também que atributos podem ser melhorados.
Apesar do seu contributo teórico e para a gestão, este trabalho pode ser, ainda, a base para futuros trabalhos, quer reavaliando a amostra atual, quer sendo replicado aos demais setores de atividade.
ABSTRACT: Digital presence is no longer a strategic option for organizations. This is even more true in the field of tourism, where the consumer starts and sometimes even decides what to do at a destination long before the journey begins. However, as many studies have found, not all organizations exploit the digital tools at their disposal in the same way. The literature review found several metrics that can be used to assess the level of sophistication of companies’ digital presence. However, these tools were scattered and in need of integration, so a new digital sophistication evaluation matrix was developed that was the first academic contribution of this work. This study aimed to take stock of the situation, measure the degree of sophistication of the digital presence of tourism entertainment companies in the island of São Miguel with regard to official websites, social networks, namely Facebook and search engine optimization, using this new evaluation matrix. Online data collection began with the selection of the websites of the companies to be evaluated based on the developed matrix. After collection, the data were processed using descriptive analyzes, indexes and ACM Model. The results suggest that apart from the lack of digital tracking for some companies, the way other companies exploit their digital presence is disparate; One small segment actively exploits its digital presence, while others have gaps that can be detrimental to customer engagement and satisfaction. This analysis not only allowed us to identify the degree of sophistication, but also which attributes could be improved. Despite its theoretical and management contribution, this work can still be the basis for future work, either by re-evaluating the current sample or being replicated to other sectors of activity.
