A influência da maturidade do CRM no desempenho organizacional

A importância do tema relacionamento com clientes tem sido crescentemente reconhecida pelo mercado, enquanto alternativa para diferenciação estratégica e mesmo sobrevivência competitiva. Este estudo objetiva avaliar a influência do nível de maturidade da implementação da estratégia de Customer Relationship Management no desempenho organizacional. O nível de maturidade é estudado em função de capacidades (Analítica e de Consistência na Comunicação), compostas por diversas atividades, e o desempenho em função de suas componentes financeira e não-financeira. O presente trabalho contribui para o estudo da gradação de atividades e capacidades de CRM enquanto critério para mensuração dos resultados de sua implementação. Para isso é analisado um modelo de equações estruturais utilizando-se o software LISREL. Os resultados evidenciaram um modelo final com bom grau de adequação, permitindo constatar que a Capacidade Analítica da organização tem influência em seus desempenhos financeiro e não-financeiro e que, por sua vez, a Consistência na Comunicação influencia somente este último tipo de desempenho. Ao final são apresentadas as implicações gerenciais, limitações e sugestões para pesquisas futuras.

Análise pelo Supply Chain Management da cadeia produtiva da castanha de caju no Rio Grande do Norte

This work presents the cashew nuts chain in the State of Rio Grande do Norte between 1960 and 2009. The main purpose of this research was to find the reason of the low productivity of the cashew nut in this state, identifying in the cashew's chain production the struggling points which were limiting the commerce of this product through the distribution network. Therefore, the Supply Chain Management was used as a logistic analysis methodology, focusing on relationships management between the nodes of this chain, from the producer until the final customer. Many problems were found: first, the precarious production conditions of the small producer don't lead to reach the demanded productivity by the market. The distance, the lack of communication of the small producers among themselves and an archaic way of dealing with their businesses, may be an explanatory reason for this problem, considering that those factors are the main elements which contribute for the weakening of the small producer placed in the productive chain. Another spotted point was that the business-oriented relationship between the producer and the local trader does not allow the small producer's economical development, which interferes in any technological investment to reach a good quality production that fulfills the market demand. And also, the fact that there is a tendency of the final costumer to require lower prices day-byday, forcing a pressure on the nodes transferring to the other and successively until arriving at the producer who inevitably is suffering the biggest impacts from this mentioned pressure.

E-CRM in SMEs: an exploratory study in Sangammer region of Maharashtra in India

Although there are many definitions of SME's there is no globally accepted definition of a small or medium-sized enterprise. Small Medium Enterprises (SME) the catalyst in economic growth & development of the country, are facing tough competition in market place and in establishing themselves as credible supplier of quality product and services. In India they are producing more than 8000 different products. The common perception is that small to medium businesses have very little options in terms of CRM solutions. This is clearly not the case. SME's now have a lot of options and can exercise same. Businesses are shifting from product centric to customer centric. Long before the advent of technology, businesses have always recognized that the customer is the soul of every business. Businesses try to have personal relationship with their customers. Moving towards customer centric approach is a multi prolonged efforts that requires transformation of process, culture and strategy from top level to every individual employee. Technology has a crucial role in providing tools and infrastructure to support this. CRM supports SMEs in their business customer loyalty.

E-CRM e a influência da digital analytics.

O mercado consumidor passou por diversas transformações ao longo do tempo devido principalmente à evolução tecnológica. A evolução tecnológica proporcionou ao consumidor a possibilidade de escolher por produtos e marcas, e permite a oportunidade de colaborar e influenciar a opinião de outros consumidores através do compartilhamento de experiências, principalmente através da utilização de plataformas digitais. O CRM (gerenciamento do relacionamento com o consumidor) é a forma utilizada pelas empresas para conhecerem o consumidor e criar um relacionamento satisfatório entre empresa e consumidor. Esse relacionamento tem o intuito de satisfazer e fidelizar o consumidor, evitando que ele deixe de consumir a marca e evitando que ele influencie negativamente outros consumidores. O e-CRM é o gerenciamento eletrônico do relacionamento com o consumidor, que possui todas as tradicionais características do CRM, porém com o incremento do ambiente digital. O ambiente digital diminuiu a distância entre pessoas e empresas e se tornou um meio colaborativo de baixo custo de interação com o consumidor. Por outro lado, este é um meio onde o consumidor deixa de ser passivo e se torna ativo, o que o torna capaz de influenciar não só um pequeno grupo de amigos, mas toda uma rede de consumidores. A digital analytics é a medição, coleta, análise e elaboração de relatórios de dados digitais para os propósitos de entendimento e otimização da performance em negócios. A utilização de dados digitais auxilia no desenvolvimento do e-CRM através da compreensão do comportamento do consumidor em um ambiente onde o consumidor é ativo. O ambiente digital permite um conhecimento mais detalhado dos consumidores, baseado não somente nos hábitos de compra, mas também nos interesses e interações. Este estudo tem como objetivo principal compreender como as empresas aplicam os conceitos do e-CRM em suas estratégias de negócios, compreendendo de que forma a digital analytics contribui para o desenvolvimento do e-CRM, e compreendendo como os fatores críticos de sucesso (humano, tecnológico e estratégico) impactam na implantação e desenvolvimento do e-CRM. Quatro empresas de diferentes segmentos foram estudadas através da aplicação de estudo de caso. As empresas buscam cada vez mais explorar as estratégias de e-CRM no ambiente digital, porém existem limitações identificadas devido à captação, armazenamento e análise de informações multicanais, principalmente considerando os canais digitais. Outros fatores como o apoio da alta direção e a compreensão de funcionários para lidar com estratégias focadas no consumidor único também foram identificados neste estudo. O estudo foi capaz de identificar as informações mais relevantes para a geração de estratégias de gerenciamento eletrônico do relacionamento com o consumidor e identificou os aspectos mais relevantes dos fatores críticos de sucesso.

A new marketing segmentation approach based on marginal individual utilities: applying CRM is not a chimera anymore

In the advent of Customer Relationship Management, a more accurate profile of the consumer is needed. The objective of this paper is to show the usefulness of knowing consumer’s complete utility function through his/her marginal utilities. This approach allows one to form groups of individuals with similar preferences (as traditional segmentation methods do) and to treat them individually (which represents an advance). The empirical application is carried out, on a sample of 2,127 individuals, in the context of tourism, where the customer relationship management philosophy is gaining more and more relevance.

Development of a web-service-agents-based family wealth management system

The roiling financial markets, constantly changing tax law and increasing complexity of planning transaction increase the demand of aggregated family wealth management (FWM) services. However, current trend of developing such advisory systems is mainly focusing on financial or investment side. In addition, these existing systems lack of flexibility and are hard to be integrated with other organizational information systems, such as CRM systems. In this paper, a novel architecture of Web-service-agents-based FWM systems has been proposed. Multiple intelligent agents are wrapped as Web services and can communicate with each other via Web service protocols. On the one hand, these agents can collaborate with each other and provide comprehensive FWM advices. On the other hand, each service can work independently to achieve its own tasks. A prototype system for supporting financial advice is also presented to demonstrate the advances of the proposed Webservice- agents-based FWM system architecture.

A CRM hazai gyakorlatának feltáró elemzése

A CRM-elnevezés alig két évtizeddel ezelőtt vált általánossá a marketing köznyelvben. Az azóta eltelt időszakban azonban óriási mértékű fejlődés ment végbe ezen a területen, elsősorban a beszállítói oldalon. A CRM technológiai, informatikai oldalát képviselő partnerek és az alkalmazásokat üzleti szemszögből értelmező tanácsadók egyre inkább összehangolódtak, és komplex, integrált rendszereket képesek ajánlani a vállalatoknak. A felhasználói oldalon azonban nem ennyire egyértelmű a kép. A CRM adaptálása a vállalatok által alkalmazott, szerteágazó eszközrendszerbe nem mindig egyértelmű, és ezekre eltérő gyakorlati megoldások születnek. A tanulmány arra törekszik, hogy feltárja azokat a faktorokat, amelyek a fent említett divergenciát okozzák, megértse azok hatásmechanizmusait és kísérletet tegyen olyan mintázatok kialakítására, amelyek jól leírják egy egyes vállalatcsoportok viszonyát a CRM-mel. A kutatás 20 feltáró interjúra épül, amely öt iparág Magyarországon (is) működő vállalatainak CRM-felelőseivel készült. Az eredmények azt jelzik, hogy a CRM vállalati gyakorlata mögött mind iparági, mind vállalati sajátosságok is megjelenhetnek, egyben számos fejlesztési lehetőség adódik a CRM eredményesebb felhasználása érdekében.

Hogyan kezeljük a „közösségi ügyfeleket”? – Social CRM marketing és IT megközelítésben (How to manage social customer? Social CRM in marketing and IT context.)

Van egy szó, ami egyre fontosabb lesz a társadalom és a vállalatok számára is, ez a szó a közösség. A közösséghez tevékenységek tartoznak, és ezen a ponton kapcsolódik be a vállalat. A vállalkozások az elmúlt években a közösségi igényeket a CRM-(Customer Relationship Management) megoldásokkal szolgálták ki. Informatikailag a közösségi hálózatok, már nemcsak vállalkozási folyamatot, hanem ehhez kapcsoltan az emberek társadalmi igényét is megpróbálják lefedni az elektronika lehetőségeivel. Egyre inkább a közösségi vállalkozások korát éljük, melyben a folyamathoz tartozó közösségek megosztják, egymás rendelkezésére bocsátják az információkat. A korábbi klasszikus CRM-rendszerek csak begyűjtötték az információkat, ezzel ellenben a közösségi CRM-rendszerek kétirányú kommunikációt folytatnak, párbeszédet kezdeményeznek az ügyfelekkel, buzdítják őket, hogy mondják el a véleményüket. Vajon ez az új stratégia,egy teljesen új világot hoz el a vállalatok számára, vagy csak a CRM fejlődésének egy újabb fokát jelenti? A szerzők erre a kérdésre keresik a választ gyakorlati esetek és szakirodalmi publikációk feldolgozásával. ______ There is a word that begins to be more and more important for the society and the companies, and this word is community. We can talk about social networks, people seek the social demand they already had as a part of their lives for a long time, and this means that it appears in the electronic society as an essential need too. The community is not enough, activities are also needed and this is the point where the companies link in, who promote their goods and facilities to the outside world and with this they use the next stage of customer relationship management, the fulfilment of social needs. We live in the age of social shopping, communities are everywhere and everyone shares information, and up to the present classic CR M systems ran from static databases. On the contrary social CR M systems perform a two-way communication, start a conversation with customers and encourage them to tell their opinions, which always changes on social media, so they build a dynamic database and communicate with customers through response-reactions. Does this new strategy bring a whole new world to companies or is it only another step in the development and another channel of CRM?
