This book was released on 2006-05-11 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Customer Relationship Management, CRM, grade: B-, University of Leicester (Management Center), language: English, abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the importance of CRM in a specific industry for a specific company. More precisely, this work will explore the automotive supplier industry; and within that industry, the company Y will be analysed, discussed and explored. Y is a supplier of aluminium tubes and aluminium profiles to the global automotive industry. The research will encompass several key areas in an effort to present a multi-perspective work, including best practices, an overview of CRM, and key factors of success as well as an automotive industry survey that the author administered, documented and integrated into this dissertation to add an element from the real business world to the research. First, a broad overview of relevant CRM theories and their meaning will be presented in order to set the stage for a discussion of Y as a specific competitor in the automotive supplier industry and to facilitate realistic and effective comparison and contrast between industry trends and the chosen company in particular. Following the CRM theory overview, differences between business-to-business and business-to-consumer markets will be differentiated for a complete understanding of these two distinct segments of the industry. Success factors within CRM will be presented, together with the limitations and problems associated with the application of CRM. After that supplementing theories beyond CRM will be identified and discussed. A literature review will be included to add substance and relevance to the research. In the second part of this dissertation, a survey will be presented that the author composed and administered towards Y’s business-to-business automotive customers. After the survey and methodology is discussed, an analysis of the results of the survey will be discussed and graphically represented, bringing the paper full circle and representing real-world, current and relevant experiences, attitudes and comments. Based upon the results, interpretation will evolve into fact-based conclusions, and recommendations, all within the scope of the limitations that the author also will identify and reveal in order to give the readers of the research an accurate representation of possible limits in the research. In brief, the author aims to blend relevant literature, real-life industry experiences and a survey of current industry attitudes and opinions to provide a full-bodied, comprehensive work of effective research.

This book was released on 2014-11-24 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,2, Leipzig Graduate School of Management, course: Service Retail and Marketing, language: English, abstract: Commoditized products and volatile market environments frame the setting that companies are facing today. Thereby, the importance of differentiation as key to company’s growth is more relevant than ever. It is widely assumed that differentiation often refers to products or market positions. However, more recently, the concept of Experience Based Differentiation (EBD) emerged as an idea for companies to build sustainable relations and loyalty by delivering a superior, differentiated experience to customers. Managers have become increasingly aware that customers are their most valuable assets. However, pure Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is not sufficient anymore. Thus, Customer Experience Management (CEM) takes CRM to the next level by integrating customer experience (CEx) and emotions during interactions into consideration (Fatma 2014). Tracing the considerably increasing number of customer touch points and derive so called customer journey maps, helps companies to understand the broader reasons of performance gaps and thus address root causes. A recent study by McKinsey & Company (2013) revealed that companies that are able to map and optimize relevant customer journeys reinforce superior CEx, reduce churn and increase revenue, and, as a result, built sustainable relationships. In addition, greater employee satisfaction and an increased effectiveness of cross-functional collaborations have been observed. However, most companies fail to strategically align and manage the CEx across all touch points and miss a great opportunity to differentiate. This gives relevance to a study on the potential of Customer Journey Mapping (CJM), as a way for the marketing management to understand CEx during all interactions. In the process of the present work, the concepts of Customer Experience (CEx), Customer Experience Management (CEM), Customer Journeys (CJ), as well as Customer Journey Mapping (CJM) are important. Therefore, the basic idea of these concepts will be characterized and explained in this sub-chapter. The terms CEx and CEM have been introduced to the marketing management several years ago and have its roots in the concepts of service quality and customer service, which evolved during the eighties and nineties (Drotskiie, 2009, p. 363). Today, a common understanding of the frequently cited concept of CEx is “the user’s interpretation of his or her total interaction
Download or read book Brand Choice and Loyalty written by Beat Meier and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By analyzing a large car registration dataset, Beat Meier shows various aspects of consumer behavior in the context of durable goods. He thereby isolates various influences on purchase decisions, e.g. the brand owned before, the price, and demographic variables. Furthermore, he investigates the short-term effects of tax incentives and reputation shocks on brand choice and brand loyalty. The dataset used is very unique and allows a longitudinal examination of the cars owned by a person. This permits to gain insights on consumer behavior of durable goods that are relatively expensive and bought infrequently.

Download or read book Customer Satisfaction Research Management written by Derek R. Allen and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2004-02-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful organizations have shifted from being product-based organizations to customer-based organizations, and customer satisfaction management (CSM) is an integral aspect of this new way of thinking. Successfully measuring customer satisfaction can be complicated and very detailed, requiring a great deal of in depth research and analysis. Customer Satisfaction Research Management is intended for advanced service quality managers and marketing researchers involved in the management of customer satisfaction programs. This is the third book in a series by author Derek Allen, focusing on customer satisfaction measurement, analysis, and implementation. Allen begins with the assumption that the reader has at least a minimal familiarity with the psychometric aspects of customer satisfaction measurement, statistical analysis, and linkage research that attempts to establish a causal relationship between customer attitudes and business outcomes. He then builds on this base to first discuss the theoretical relationship between customer satisfaction and financial performance, and then to dive deep into specific applications of customer satisfaction programs. Some of the areas covered include dealing with the challenges of conducting global customer satisfaction measurement programs, linking performance metrics to management compensation systems and financial outcomes, and results deployment. "This book will prove an invaluable resource for research managers charged with developing and implementing customer satisfaction research programs for their organization." Albrecht (Al) Grabenstein First Vice President, Corporate Marketing Comerica "This book describes with outstanding examples how insights gained from deep analysis of customer satisfaction research results can be used to create successful customer relationship marketing strategies and to design effective business processes which improve both customer satisfaction and business results." Lyle Kan Senior Vice President, Performance Management Countrywide Home Loans "Derek Allen offers managers of customer retention programs the tools necessary for the implementation and management of a successful program Managers whose companies have customer relationship management systems in place will also find the discussions on CRM, marketing research, and customer satisfaction very useful." Manuel Gutierrez Director of Market Research Kohler Co.
Download or read book Linking Customer and Employee Satisfaction to the Bottom Line written by Derek R. Allen and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2002-06-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most organizations recognize the impact that both customer and employee satisfaction have on overall financial performance. Actually acting on that information is the hard part. That is the focus of Linking Customer and Employee Satisfaction to the Bottom Line, which focuses on the relationship between customer satisfaction and tangible business outcomes like market share, revenue, and profitability. Intended for advanced service quality managers and marketing researchers with more than a modest exposure to statistical data analysis, this book provides a comprehensive overview of how these data may be related to critical business outcomes. Perhaps more importantly, researchers with mature customer satisfaction systems may use the techniques described in this book to maximize the value of their existing programs. While no technique or methodology can guarantee a strong link between customer satisfaction and key business outcomes, this book can ensure that appropriate scales, variables, and assumptions are used.

This book was released on 2005-02-28 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: In times of severe competition, it is of crucial importance to create a competitive advantage to differentiate from the competitors and to sustain the business of the company. This thesis intends to show that a customer-focused quality management is one way to create a sustainable competitive advantage. Quality controls along the whole value chain -before, during and after production- leads to failure free products, which save costs on the one hand and have thus a positive influence on the company s revenue. On the other hand failure free products that meet the customers expectations lead to satisfied customers who build up a brand loyalty and conduct retention sales, which have a positive influence on the company s sales, market share as well as the overall image. Furthermore, this thesis points out that it is important to listen to the voice of the customers and get an insight in the customer s needs and wants. To fulfil or even exceed their expectations leads to customer satisfaction, which is a key to success in today s business world. In addition, the customer demands in regard of quality are growing continuously and new technologies are appearing on the markets on a regular basis. Therefore the producers are forced to keep to the latest technology developments and to get hold on the changing customer needs. But even without this external pressure, quality improvement is justified from a cost point of view. The applicability of a customer-oriented quality management is shown in the practical part of this thesis, when the quality of the Saab models is analyzed from the customer s perspective. Due to the arguments, outlined in this thesis, it can be summarized that a quality management with a focus on the needs of the customers in should become a core strategy of any company producing and selling products in order to create customer satisfaction and sustain the business. This thesis deals with the field of quality management in the context of customer satisfaction. To show the practical applicability of quality management, this thesis is looking at how quality management is conducted in the automotive industry, as we compare the Initial Quality Study (IQS) from the market research institute J. D. Power with a survey that was internally conducted at the Saab Automobile AB. Today s business environment creates a growing need for quality management. Tougher competition leads to the demand for cost savings and higher [...]
Download or read book High Noon in the Automotive Industry written by Helmut Becker and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was born from curiosity. To begin with, it was the curiosity of an economist who studied in the 60’s in an environment which has subsequently developed from national into global economics. Who has to recognize that politicians, scholars and large segments of society oblivious to supranational authorities and e- nomic globalization forces continue to labour under the notion that they are still fully autonomous and sovereign when shaping national economic policy. And pretend as though their own national state were still the "m- ter in its own house" that despite unbridled market economics could c- tinue to dictate to the economy and companies how to live and in which "rooms". All that has become fiction. The laws of globalization diminish the - noeuvring space for shaping national economic policy. Even if many folks today don’t want to hear it: The issue is no longer achieving what is soc- politically desirable for the own society but rather the optimal adaptation of society and social benefits to the politically practicable.
Download or read book Fast Break written by Jim Roche and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2020-03-14 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fast Break addresses the increasing challenges that today's automotive dealers face. Over a period of decades, dealers developed a transaction/centric mindset. Given that you only have the opportunity to sell a new vehicle every 4-7 years this may be understandable. Unfortunately this mindset has crept into the service department, which needs to have the opposite orientation. By embracing a customer-centric approach to your service business, you can counteract the increasing threats from slowing vehicle sales, margin compression and existing and new competition. Using facts, figures and insights gleaned from interviews with progressive service leaders and recent market research, Fast Break presents real world examples to provide a new approach to addressing the challenges of today and tomorrow. From the author: Sorry about the purchase price, it's due to this being a color book and the low print quantity. The book was produced for the benefit of the industry, neither Jim Roche or Cox Automotive are paid any money from the sales of Fast Break.
