Cet article traite du concept de Socialisation Organisationnelle du Client (SOC). Il souligne son intérêt pour envisager de manière nouvelle la relation entre les entreprises de service et leurs clients. L'objectif de l'étude empirique exploratoire est de faire émerger les dimensions du concept. Cette étude s'appuie sur des entretiens de clients et de membres du personnel d'IKEA. Trois dimensions sont identifiées: 1) la connaissance et la maîtrise de son rôle par le client; 2) le degré d'intégration sociale et 3) la connaissance de l'organisation. Ces dimensions permettent de dresser un cadre d'actions à entreprendre pour améliorer la relation de service. D'un point de vue stratégique l'article propose l'engagement de l'entreprise dans un processus d'apprentissage avec ses clients.
