CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1   BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Companies are increasingly focused on managing customer relationships because it explicitly recognizes the long-run value of potential and current customers, and seeks to increase revenues, profits, and shareholder value through targeted marketing activities directed toward developing, maintaining, and enhancing successful company-customer relationships (Berry, 1983; Morgan and Hunt, 1994; Gronroos, 1990). The activities involved in customer relationship building require an in-depth understanding of the underlying sources of value the firm both derives from customers and delivers to them. While retaining customer loyalty has been a sales and marketing principle for quiet a long time, Customer Relationship is actually a tremendous step forward in creating a system that can provide a means for retaining individual loyalty in a world of about 6 billion population (Croteau & Li, 2001). Greenberg (2001) stated that in order to understand how to build a sustainable customer relationship, you must also understand the changing nature of the customer because customers are not what they used to be.

Khalifa and Liu (2001) noted that, a survey of more than 1,600 businesses and IT professionals conducted by the Data Warehouse Institute, found that, some of the respondents have various methods of managing customer relationship. This finding indicates that customer management is very important for organizations. The Cap Gemini further added that, the average total investment in customer management by 300 U.S and European companies was $3.1 million. More than 69% of the companies surveyed spent less than $ 5 million and more than 13% of the companies spent over $10 million (Sterne, 2000). This finding also indicates that a great number of companies spend great amount of their budget on customer management and therefore in the researcher’s opinion, it is believed that it is important for various business organization to know the objectives of their customer management initiatives and the type of benefits these organizations intend to derive from them. A survey of 300 companies conducted at a customer management conference concluded that customer management is not a cheap, easy, or fast solution. Mooney (2000) further added that, more than two-thirds of customer management projects end up in failure. However, he went further to say that, the successful third could obtain up to 75% return on investment.

Thompson (2004) found four broad factors that were driving 72% of the return on investment (ROI) of customer relationship. They were: Customer-centric strategy, frontline training and support, organization change, and appropriate use of metrics. These findings again support the fact that the actual objectives of customer relationship initiatives and the benefits should be ascertained. This further support the statement by Balaji and Alexander (2003) that the purpose of customer relationship is to identify, acquire, serve and retain profitable customers by interacting with them in an integrated way across a range of communication channels. Swift (2001) also describes analytical electronic customer management as a four-step interactive process consisting of collecting and integrating online customer data, analyzing this data, building interactions with customers based on this data are optimized, and measuring the effectiveness of these interactions in terms of these performance. According to Thompson (2004) customer relationship is a business strategy to acquire, grow and retain profitable customer relationships, with the goal of creating a profitable organization.
