This study’s aim is to examine how companies integrate their multiple CRM channels to enhance the relationships with the customers. A qualitative method was used and the collection of data was conducted from eleven interviews. The interviews were semi-structured with open-ended questions. The theory is written in three main themes; customer relationship management, channels of communication and multichannel integration. Empirical findings and the analysis also follows these themes. The study is ending with conclusions. What is affecting companies channel selection depends on what message companies want to send, but also whether if it is existing or new potential customers’ that are targeted. The geographical factor also influences the channel selection. Channel decision further depends on the size of the companies, if it is business to business or business to consumer and what kind of product the company is selling. More complex products require more personal interactions. How to successfully implement a multichannel integration strongly depends on the quality of data, an organizational common interpretation of customer relationship management, integration of information from all departments and that the company has an easy, yet powerful system for the accessible data. This study helps to give an understanding of how the multichannel integration is done in a business to business company with complex products. The study can be applied on other companies using a multichannel integration. It can help managers to understand the importance of the multichannel integration, how to succeed and other important factors for a successful multichannel integration. It also contributes to an understanding of the critical factors of the multichannel integration.  A framework with an alternative model of multichannel integration is presented. The study also presented that the process of multichannel integration is of great importance and emphasized by a leading company in the field of customer relationship management. This study therefore has succeeded in giving an easy, more powerful and greater picture of the multichannel integration, which is an important determined factor for building customer relationships. A figure (figure 10) is provided for other companies to use that are business to business with complex products. This study is a case study with a qualitative research approach, the studied company is a business to business company with complex products. The study is made from the company’s perspective. Future research can be conducted by studying multichannel integration from the customers’ perspective instead of the company’s perspective. The study could have been conducted on more than one company to compare the results, or on a business to consumer company instead of a business to business company. Studies on multichannel integration can also be interesting regarding companies that are selling less complicated products. Finally, studies can be conducted regarding the “information overflow” from social media.

Ambulanssjukvården blir allt viktigare i den moderna akutsjukvården då avancerad akutsjukvård kan utföras i prehospital miljö. World Health Organization menar att bristande kommunikation är orsaken till upp emot 70 procent av alla händelseavvikelser. Kommunikation i teamet har stor betydelse för samarbetet kring den skadade/sjuka patienten. Syftet var att undersöka kommunikation hos ambulansteamet vid simulerade prehospitala patientfall under utbildning i Crew Resource Management (CRM). Urvalet bestod av tolv deltagare där samtliga arbetade inom ambulanssjukvård. Datainsamlingen skedde i samband med ett utbildningsprojekt i ett ambulansdistrikt i södra Sverige och bestod av 12 stycken filmer. Dessa analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys med deduktiv ansats. I resultatet framkom tre kategorier utifrån befintliga nyckelord i CRM, adressering, readback och teamsummering. Analysen visar att de flesta fallen blir strukturerade genom kroppsspråk, ögonkontakt, att tala högt, även vid ickeadressering, icke-readback eller icke-teamsummering. Icke-verbal kommunikation såsom kroppsspråk spelar stor roll vid kommunikation i teamet. Ytterligare forskning behövs inom området för att förstå vilka effekter kommunikationen har kopplat till patientsäkerhet i det akuta prehospitala patientomhändertagandet. / Ambulance services are becoming more important in modern emergency medical care as advanced emergency medical care can be carried out in the prehospital environment. According to World Health Organization poor communication causes as much as 70% of all healthcare errors. Communication in the team is of great importance for the teamwork when working with an injured/ill patient. The aim was to study communication in the ambulance team at simulated prehospital cases during an education in Crew Resource Management (CRM). The data selection consisted of twelve participants, all of whom worked in ambulance care. The data collection took place in connection with a training project in an ambulance district in southern Sweden and consisted of 12 films. These were analyzed by means of qualitative content analysis with deductive approach. The results presented three main categories based on existing keywords in CRM, addressing, readback, and team summary. The analysis show that most cases are structured through body language, eye contact, talking loudly, even at non-addressing, non-readback or non-teamsummering. Non-verbal communication like body language plays an important role in communication with the team. Further research is needed in this area to understand what effects the communication is linked to patient safety in the emergency pre-hospital patient care.

Este trabalho abordou a utilização do Customer Relationship Management (CRM), enquanto um conjunto de processos de negócios apoiados por sistemas de gestão informatizados. O estudo que culminou na proposição de uma nova metodologia para conduzir a adoção de estratégias de CRM em organizações foi realizado em duas etapas: (i) pesquisa e análise das metodologias existentes na literatura especializada; (ii) realização de dois estudos aplicados relacionados à implantação de CRM em empresas dos segmentos de telefonia e de tecnologia. O método proposto resultante desta análise constitui uma alternativa consistente e embasada para a condução de projetos que visem implantar soluções de CRM em organizações, contemplando os aspectos relacionados à estratégia, aos processos de negócio, à tecnologia e às pessoas envolvidas, através da gestão de mudança e avaliação, além de resultar em uma alternativa mais completa e abrangente à literatura existente e aos demais modelos, caracterizando um avanço importante para as empresas que buscam adotar estratégias de CRM. / This work dealt with the use of Customer Relationship Management (CRM), as a set of business processes supported by management information systems.
