Service Benefits of CRM

Research findings conducted across industries as a part of a Technical Assistance Research

Project indicate that: - 95 per cent of the customers do not bother to complain, the just take
their business else where. 17 - Most loyal customers take time to complain. This enables the
product / service provider to improve and ensure that such mistake do not recur. A typical
dissatisfied customer will tell an average of 14 others about a bad experience while she will tell
only six about a satisfying experience with an organization. - 70 per cent of customers who
complain will do business with a company again if it quickly takes care of a service problem.

Over the past few years there has been a strong technological evolution in the field of
information and communication with a significant impact on management.

Companies are investing huge amounts in relationship technologies, leading to new forms of
interaction. On the other hand, the incorporation of activities of the value chain in integrated IT is
likely to affect the network of relationships established, especially with strategic business
partners.

Focusing on business-to-business relationships, this paper has a twofold objective. Firstly, to

understand the management of customer relationships in contexts where IT tend to assume an
important role.
Secondly, to analyse to what extent the new information technologies are likely to be a potential
source of value for companies. And, if so, what are their advantages and limitations. These are
relevant issues, both from a theoretical and practical point of view since they reflect a current
trend whose understanding is critical to firms' performance in the medium and long run.
The research followed a qualitative methodological approach that focused on PostLog EMS, a
firm that operates in the courier sector.
In scientific terms, the paper attempts to contribute to a better understanding of relationships
with customers intermediated by information technologies. In this context, the main contribution
stems from its interdisciplinary character since it establishes a close link between two fields of
research: marketing and information systems.

Study design for assessing effectiveness, efficiency and acceptability of services including
measures of structure, process, service quality, and outcome of health care. Health care
evaluation is the critical assessment, through rigorous processes, of an aspect of healthcare to
assess whether it fulfils its objectives.

Evaluation is often undertaken to determine the quality of care being provided by an individual,
team or service where quality is taken to mean the effectiveness, efficiency, safety or patient
experience of that care. Evaluation is also undertaken to ensure that the aims of care are being
met, to provide information for service users, commissioners, healthcare providers or other
stakeholders about the quality of services being provided, and finally to establish the basis for
future improvements. Quality improvement research is applied research involving evaluation of
quality improvement initiatives which is aimed at informing policy and practice. Current
guidelines for reporting quality improvement include ‘descriptions of the instruments and
procedures (qualitative, quantitative or mixed) used to assess the effectiveness of
implementation, the contributions of intervention components and context to effectiveness of the
intervention and the impact on primary and secondary outcomes

Amazon’s lead across almost all areas of the online shopping experience, this doesn’t
universally apply to where shoppers prefer to shop in particular categories.
Granted, in sectors where Amazon and e-commerce have largely replaced individual retailers
and stores, consumers prefer Amazon. Around half (48%) of consumers prefer to buy
entertainment products from Amazon, compared to the 15% who prefer to use other
marketplaces and the 10% who use retailer sites. Similarly, Amazon is preferred by a plurality of
consumers buying toys (37%) and technology (29%).
But in many sectors, Amazon has a way to go towards becoming the consumers’ top
preference. For example, only 1 in 10 prefer to shop at the behemoth when buying groceries;
despite the rise in online grocery shopping, this is a sector where the largest share respondents
never buy online (40%). Meanwhile, a similarly small share prefers Amazon when shopping for
luxury products (14%), clothing (17%), motors and accessories (18%), beauty (18%) and pet
care (18%). Instead, consumers tend to prefer visiting brand websites for luxury products and
retailer websites for both the clothing and fashion and the beauty sectors.
Despite the so-called “retail apocalypse”, in all but 4 sectors a plurality of respondents preferred
to not buy online. This was particularly clear in motors and accessories (45%), pet care (43%),
garden products (40%) and grocery (40%).
