Abstract

Marketing data are multifaceted. Measures of marketing constructs have multiple legitimate sources of variance such as firms, customers and brands. So the invoked causality between a marketing concept and its measures should account for covariance at more than one level. Depending on a marketing construct’s conceptual domain, different sources of variance are focal to the theoretical relationships being investigated, and the construct’s relationship with its indicators can be either formative or reflective for each source. The authors show the vanishing tetrad test can be used to determine whether marketing data are formative along their multiple facets (for example, consumers versus brands).
