While the topic of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has generated an increasing amount of research attention in recent years, still lacking is a comprehensive overview that helps to explain how companies can implement CRM successfully. To address these issues, this article identifies and discusses factors that are associated with a greater degree of CRM success. More specifically, we identify and discuss determinants on strategy, human resources, information management, structure and processes as well as specific factors within the implementation phase which help to improve CRM success. First, our results indicate that the implementation of CRM processes is associated with better company performance, especially at the relationship initiation and maintenance stage. Second, the findings emphasis a predominant influence of firm-based factors vis-à-vis structural industry, and customer-based factors. Furthermore, cross-functional CRM teams and a top management feeling responsible for CRM projects help to improve CRM success. In addition, internal processes which are related to customer contact points have to be redesigned to enhance the interaction between employees and customers. The current article sheds more light on what really drives CRM success.
Customer prioritization is a common marketing activity in business practice. It aims at an increase in average customer profitability and return on sales by treating important customers more intensively. After a short introduction highlighting the importance of customer prioritzation, the present article provides an overview of key aspects of customer prioritization. First, companies need to select a prioritization criterion, determine the method to identify important customers, and decide on how to treat these customers in a particular way. Second, companies face challenges and need to address key requirements for implementing customer prioritization within a company. Finally, the article emphasizes positive and negative consequences of customer prioritization.
Die Organisationsentwicklung hat eine bewegte Geschichte hinter sich und eine aussichtsreiche Zukunft vor sich. Die Kerngedanken der Organisationsentwicklung, die wesentlich durch die Forschungen von Kurt Lewin und Kollegen beeinflusst wurden, haben die theoretischen Vorstellungen über und praktische Handhabung von intentional gesteuerten Veränderungsprozessen wesentlich beeinflusst. Nachdem die Organisationsentwicklung über die Zeit strategischer und pragmatischer geworden ist, droht sie als eigenständige Methode zunehmend unkenntlich zu werden. In diesem Beitrag wird anhand von zwei Thesen argumentiert, dass eine zukunftsfähige Organisationsentwicklung die Grundidee der Partizipation in einer digitalen Arbeitswelt wieder stärken und sich reflektierter als bislang dem paradoxen Verhältnis zwischen Stabilität und Wandel annehmen müsste. Eine Organisationsentwicklung, die sich mit diesen Themen beschäftigt, ist zukunftsfähig und wird wesentlich die Art und Weise prägen, wie in Organisationen Veränderungen gestaltet werden.
