...MKWI 2010 – Unternehmensberatung im IT-Umfeld 611 CRM Evaluation An Approach for Selecting Suitable Software Packages Ina Friedrich1, Jon Sprenger2, Michael H. Breitner2 1Accenture GmbH Campus Kronberg 1, 61476 Kronberg ina.friedrich@accenture.com 2Institut 1 für Wirtschaftsinformatik, Leibniz-Universität Hannover Königsworther Platz 1, 30167 Hannover {sprenger|breitner @iwi.uni-hannover.de} Introduction Customer Relationship Management (CRM)1 has been discussed in the literature since the nineties. IT evaluation on the other hand dates back to the eighties starting with a more contemporary approach (Farbey et al. 1999, p. 191). As reported by earlier works, the success rate of CRM implementation projects is up to today still not satisfactory (Becker et al. 2009; Finnegan and Currie 2009). Reasons for failing the expectations of involved parties are diverse, but can be summarized under the three dimensions: people, process and technology (Figure 1). Due to the described quality problems and the speed of evaluation results becoming outdated, new CRM solutions or updated versions of established products continuously enter the market. CRM solutions range from simple address and activity management applications to integrated software packages linking front office and back office functions (Chen and Popovich 2003, p. 673). Hence, there exists a multitude of different characterizations for CRM. For the context of this paper a definition by Goldenberg (2000) is used, who describes...

...Week 6 Assignment 3 Outback Steakhouse Linda D. Mitchell HRM 530 Professor Jerome Newman Strayer University Discuss how the employee selection methods at Outback Steakhouse help the organization achieve a competitive advantage. It is Outback’s belief that employee’s is what gives the company a competitive advantage and that employees are the primary reasons a company is successful. Therefore, since the competitive advantage to an organization’s success is its choice in the individuals they hire there has to be an effective hiring process in place to weed out those individuals that do not fit into the culture they’ve established.

Discuss the importance of fit to Outback Steakhouse. As stated earlier it is Outback’s belief that they need to hire employees that can adapt to their culture, vision, values and beliefs.

...marketing plans do not have to be lengthy but should contain need-to-know information and not so much nice-to-know information which is not directly related to the decision at hand and is rarely actionable. He breaks down the marketing plan in eight parts: executive summary, situation analysis, goal, strategy, tactics, implementation, control and exhibits. The executive summary is an overview of the company stating its goals and proposed actions. The executive summary consists of five parts: an introduction, situation overview, goals, action overview and conclusion. It will present the product or service being marketed and the primary purpose of the plan. It will also identify any opportunities or threats in a company’s performance. It will outline the strategy, tactics, implementation and control of the plan and conclude with a short summary. The situation analysis is the evaluation of the company and the environment that it operates in. The situation analysis consists of the company overview, market overview and target selection.

...development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, communication, administration, and training. While human resource management is sometimes referred to as a "soft" management skill, effective practice within an organization requires a strategic focus to ensure that people resources can facilitate the achievement of organizational goals. Effective human resource management also contains an element of risk management for an organization which, as a minimum, ensures legislative compliance. Human Resource Management is also a strategic and comprehensive approach to managing people and the workplace culture and environment. Effective Human Resource Managers enables employees to contribute effectively and productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment of the organization's goals and objectives. Human Resource Management is moving away from traditional personnel, administration, and transactional roles, which are increasingly outsourced. HRM is now expected to add value to the strategic utilization of employees and that employee programs impact the business in measurable ways. The new role of Human Resource Managers involves strategic direction to demonstrate value.
