"Customer Relationship Management" (CRM) introduces the management philosophy of CRM. This is the first book to explore the benefits to the firm of a globally integrated approach to customer relationship management. The authors contend that the best hope for achieving a sustainable competitive advantage in a global marketplace is by means of better understanding which customers are in the best position to experience long-term, profitable relationships for the globally-oriented firm. The book offers both an academic and practical viewpoint of the importance of CRM in a global framework. It integrates the topics of knowledge management, total quality management, and relationship marketing with the goal of explaining the benefits of CRM for internationally active firms. The authors have included six case studies which allow the reader to undertake the role of CRM consultant in a 'learning by doing' approach.The book should be required reading for all business executives who desire a customer oriented approach to success, and for all students of business who desire to gain insight into a relationship management approach which will become ever-more important in the years ahead.
