Rate this book
Customer Relationship Concepts and Tools is a breakthrough book that makes transparent the complexities of customer relationship management.

The book views customer relationship management as the core business strategy that integrates internal processes and functions, and external networks, to create and deliver value to targeted customers at a profit. Customer relationship management is grounded on high quality customer data and enabled by information technology.

The book is a comprehensive and fully developed textbook on customer relationship management . Although, it shows the roles of customer data and information technology in enabling customer relationship management implementation, it does not accept that customer relationship management is just about IT. Rather it is about an IT- and data-enabled approach to customer acquisition, customer retention and customer development.

Because customer relationship management is a core business strategy the book demonstrates how it has influence across the entire business, in areas such as strategic, marketing, operations, human resource, and IT management. Customer relationship management 's influence also extends beyond the company to touch on partner and supplier relationships.

Il libro offre concetti chiave preziosi, ma la sua complessità rende la lettura difficile e la comprensione degli argomenti talvolta confusa. Sebbene alcuni punti siano rilevanti, il testo si rivela complicato e non facilmente accessibile.

This textbook had some good key points. However, for me it was a hard read that made some topics confusing and not easily understood.
