RE-INVENTING CRM In the late 1990s and early year of the 21th century, CRM was offered up as the next wave of marketing. The tools and techniques that would make traditional marketing obsolete. The automated approaches that would make customer relationships automatic and would enable the marketing organization to shell anything to anyone they chose. CRM was the single solution that would solve every marketing problem. Simply install the software, plug in the customer data and sit back and watch the profils roll in. But it wasn’t that simple. It wasn’t that easy. And, it simply didn’t work that way. Millions of dollars anp pounds and yen and Euros were spent on CRM systems, software and structures but, not enough seemed to come back. The five important things are about the book’s approach to CRM 1.Strategic, not more tactics. CRM is a business decision, made by business managers to achieve business goals. So, most of all, this approach to CRM is strategic. 2. Customers, not companies. Payne’s approach puts the company and the customer in perspective.

...of her small business and some understandings that people need to look into to managing a small business. For instance, keeping up with trends, the three P’s of marketing (Product, Price, Placing), reasons companies lose or gain business, and customer relations. She spoke to us about many knowledgeable ideas to managing a small business although the three that I think are most important are customer relations, the three P’s of marketing, and the reasons companies lose or gain business. Mrs. Monk told how Customer Relations is one of the most important jobs of a small business. Customer Relations includes active listening, details, looking for more opportunities to enhance customer relationships, and staying in touch with your client. Active listening is important. Hear what your client wants and needs for their event. Pay attention to detail, you cannot give good customer service if you are not giving them the right thing. Go the extra mile for your client to enhance your relationship with your customer. Stay in touch with your client it means a lot to clients when you are personable with them. The three P’s of marketing, product, placing, and price, are important to keep in mind when managing a small business.

Remember that when you have good relationships with your suppliers that they will go out of their way for you. The number one reason businesses lose business is word of...

...Global vs. Nation Account Management Global account management (GAM) emerged as a plan or process of relationship focusing on future of global client’s major demands, and understands them towards to increasing the return on company’s and stakeholders’ investments. Then companies must gain proper perceive of their customer’s demands, and tailoring their approach according to their customer’s needs (Woodburn & McDonald, 2011, pp.5-7). Nation or domestic account management implies on delivering service or serving the demands of consumers that are located in a nation or region; on the other hand, global account management is refer to delivering services or serves the customer’s demand throughout the world. Accordingly multinational companies needs to adopt larger accounts based on their multiple locations around the world while domestic or nations companies doesn’t needs to (Honeycutt et al, 2003, p.102). Then it is obvious that GAM’ faces larger and more sophisticated challenges, and in compare to domestic account management needs a greater degree of involvement, and an advanced level of ability for companies to co-ordinate at multiple organizational levels and across the country markets where they operating business.

...MANAGING FOR STAKEHOLDERS: TRADE-OFFS OR VALUE CREATION1 One of the central uses of stakeholder theory, in its original form, was as a counterpoint to the idea that corporations should be managed in the interests of shareholders. As the theory developed the debate was often framed in terms of “shareholders vs. stakeholders.” While developing “theories of the firm” is an interesting and useful project, focusing solely on “theory of the firm” obscures a more important contribution of stakeholder theory. The purpose of this brief essay is to set forth what I consider to be the central insight of stakeholder theory: the jointness of stakeholder interests. The Basic Idea The basic idea of “managing for stakeholders,” as I now see it, is quite simple, and I believe it is closer to the origins of the idea from Eric Rhenman and the Tavistock thinkers. In fact, Juha Nasi was correct in his assessment of the Scandinavian origins of the stakeholder idea that focus on what holds stakeholder interests together. Nasi originally suggested that we focus on “intressent” in Swedish. “In Finnish this term was modified as “intressentti” or “sidosryhma” which could be translated as an “interest group” or even as a “linkage” or “bonding” or “binding” group.” (Nasi, 1995 at 98) It is this bonding or binding idea that is most interesting to explore. Managing for stakeholders asks us to see stakeholders as “bound together by the jointness of their interests.” So, the basic idea goes like this. Business...

...Leadership: Managing Director of Hayasa In a small team of strangers, like the one thrown together for this module, the Managing Director should be the source of leadership and control over numerous responsibilities and functions of their team. • They should pursue the successful completion project goals. • They should keep the team motivated and happy, • They should ensure that the team is giving sufficient effort to the task. The Managing Director should be the most influential and important member of Hayasa car company. The behaviour of this person directly affects the behaviour of his or hers group members, therefore they must show certain key traits and attributes which will exert their leadership and control into the performance of the team, but also themselves. For Hayasa, the leadership was the key factor which influenced and built the group dynamics, the behaviour and motivation of the members during the practical, but also is what I believe the key problem to our lack of success in three years of trading. “The power and influence perspective focuses on the use of power by effective leaders. Two major themes have been identified: a) social power: how leaders influence followers (b) social exchange: discusses the give-and-take relationship between leaders and followers through which leaders are themselves influenced as they try to influence others” (Bensimon et al., 1989) My questions on the lack of social power our Managing Director would...
