Customer Data Management

Sehat, Mahdis, PAVEZ FLORES, RENÉ January 2012 (has links)
Abstract As the business complexity, number of customers continues to grow and customers evolve into multinational organisations that operate across borders, many companies are faced with great challenges in the way they manage their customer data. In today’s business, a single customer may have a relationship with several entities of an organisation, which means that the customer data is collected through different channels. One customer may be described in different ways by each entity, which makes it difficult to obtain a unified view of the customer. In companies where there are several sources of data and the data is distributed to several systems, data environments become heterogenic. In this state, customer data is often incomplete, inaccurate and inconsistent throughout the company. This thesis aims to study how organisations with heterogeneous customer data sources implement the Master Data Management (MDM) concept to achieve and maintain high customer data quality. The purpose is to provide recommendations for how to achieve successful customer data management using MDM based on existing literature related to the topic and an interview-based empirical study. Successful customer data management is more of an organisational issue than a technological one and requires a top-down approach in order to develop a common strategy for an organisation’s customer data management. Proper central assessment and maintenance processes that can be adjusted according to the entities’ needs must be in place. Responsibilities for the maintenance of customer data should be delegated to several levels of an organisation in order to better manage customer data.

Customer data in the European fashion industry : Investigation of students’ willingnessto share customer data in the fashion e-commerce

Höler, Lisa Marie, Meyer zu Hörste, Christin January 2016 (has links)
The present thesis aims to investigate students’ willingness to share customer data in the fashion e-commerce. Special attention is given to the way trust, benefits and law regulations are discussed in this context. An inductive approach was applied utilizing focus group discussions. The goal of the empirical study was to gain insights in the way students argue about customer data and which feelings are involved. The study highlights findings in the key areas trust, benefits and law regulations. A shift of customer trust from brands to recommendations could be observed. In terms of benefits, focus group participants tend to choose value exchange over traditional rewards. Findings regarding law regulations suggest that the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union can provide control of customer data but no security. Furthermore, consumer behavior plays an important role when it comes to data sharing attitudes. The experiences and observations of the participants may not be applicable to other studies. Furthermore, the study findings are bounded to the European Union. The findings suggest that trust, benefits and law regulations can influence students’ willingness to share customer data in the fashion e-commerce. The study is unique of its kind as it investigates the willingness to share customer data with the focus on students and fashion e-commerce. Hence, this research paper fills a gap in scientific literature and is valuable for businesses operating in the fashion e-commerce.

Degerman, Isabel, Eckerbom, Johanna, Gu, Hong January 2019 (has links)
This multiple case study focuses on the customer relationship management (CRM) processes and the management of customer data within two international business-to-business (B2B) companies based in the southern parts of Sweden.  This study explores and compares these companies’ approaches to CRM in today’s era of social media and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). A qualitative research method in the form of 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted and later analyzed through coding using grounded theory.   The findings of this study show that the companies studied work in both different and similar ways when it comes to CRM, with one having recently implemented a new CRM system while the other relies on their enterprise resource (ERP) system for the same purposes. Neither company are proactively using social media and although both companies have taken action to adapt to the new rules set by the GDPR, neither seem to know exactly how it works. Through its theoretical-, managerial-, as well as social policy implications, this study contributes to the existing research on CRM in a B2B context by providing a contemporary perspective which takes into account the influence of social media and the GDPR.

Datenschutz in Call Centern – Bestandsaufnahme zur Aufzeichnung und Verwendung personenbezogener Daten

Hrach, Christian, Alt, Rainer 25 January 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Dienstleister in der Telekommunikationsbranche haben nicht zuletzt aus rechtlicher Sicht die Pflicht zu einem sensiblen Umgang mit personenbezogenen Daten. Dies bezieht sich nicht nur auf Kundendaten, sondern ebenso auf mitarbeiterbezogene Daten zur Führung eines Call Centers. Je nach Situation und Anwendungsfall regeln die Verwendungsmöglichkeiten dieser Daten in Call Centern das allgemeine Persönlichkeitsrecht und das Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG). Daraus ergibt sich für die Entwicklung und den Einsatz von Call Center-spezifischen Anwendungssystemen (z.B. Kampagnenmanagement-Systeme, Dialer) die Herausforderung, zum einen die Einhaltung rechtlicher Bestimmungen sicherzustellen, aber zum anderen den häufig detailreichen Informationsbedarfen der Call Center-Leitungsebenen zu entsprechen. Neben rechtlichen Beschränkungen bei der Handhabung von Kundendaten sind hier die Grenzen und Grauzonen bezüglich der Verwendungsmöglichkeiten von Leistungsdaten zur Mitarbeiterüberwachung und -beurteilung (z.B. verdecktes Mithören oder Gesprächsaufzeichnung) zu berücksichtigen.

MDM of Product Data / MDM produktovych dat (MDM of Product Data)

Čvančarová, Lenka January 2012 (has links)
This thesis is focused on Master Data Management of Product Data. At present, most publications on the topic of MDM take into account customer data, and a very limited number of sources focus solely on product data. Some resources actually do attempt to cover MDM in full-depth. Even those publications are typically are very customer oriented. The lack of Product MDM oriented literature became one of the motivations for this thesis. Another motivation was to outline and analyze specifics of Product MDM in context of its implementation and software requirements for a vendor of MDM application software. For this I chose to create and describe a methodology for implementing MDM of product data. The methodology was derived from personal experience on projects focused on MDM of customer data, which was applied on findings from the theoretical part of this thesis. By analyzing product data characteristics and their impacts on MDM implementation as well as their requirements for application software, this thesis helps vendors of Customer MDM to understand the challenges of Product MDM and therefore to embark onto the product data MDM domain. Moreover this thesis can also serve as an information resource for enterprises considering adopting MDM of product data into their infrastructure.

Artificiell intelligens inom köpprocessen : En studie om att attrahera och behålla B2B-kunder

Toutin, Joel January 2020 (has links)
The buying process has become an important outcome for firms to adapt to the changes in B2B buying. With an increased focus on delivering new customer experiences, firms are finding themselves with lots of customer data that needs to be analyzed. Prior literature has found that technology such as artificial intelligence could be the next logical step in marketing for analyzing and managing customer data but sees slow adoption. This study examined how artificial intelligence can be used to attract and retain B2B customers in the buying process. Empirical data was collected as a multiple caste study with semistructured interviews from B2B salespeople, sales managers, CEOs, CFOs and administrators. The data were analyzed through a thematic analysis. Participants expressed a strong interest in efforts that could affect the relationship such as better engagement, enhanced user experience and information to better meet the needs. Throughout the buying process, many of these efforts could influence the final decision and is believed to be critical in attracting but also maintaining customer relationships. These results have implications for implementing artificial intelligence at firms since it creates a better understanding of the customers' wants and needs and how to correspond to it digitally. Based on the empirical findings, this study contributes with a model that shows the relation of artificial intelligence, customer data and the buying process.

Casually Connecting with Customers : A study on how B2B microenterprises use customer data from social media in order to increase sales

Robertsson, Julia, Carlsson, Anne, Pedersen, Sanne January 2021 (has links)
This study is using an inductive explorative approach to investigate how micro-enterprises within the marketing consulting industry collect and use data for the purpose of increasing sales. A micro-enterprise is considered to be a company that employs no more than 10 people and/or whose annual turnover is no more than 2 million EUR. The research applies the concept of social selling and development of emergent technologies to understand the methods used by examined salespeople within the marketing agencies examined, and to answer the research question: How is customer data from social selling used among micro-enterprises within the marketing consulting industry to build and retain customer relationships? The following paper suggests that social media is used by the seller with the aim of identifying common grounds between buyer and seller, in order to create a personal bond that sets a strong foundation for continuing the relationship long-term. However, it also indicates that social selling activities are used in various ways and in combination with traditional data collection. Even though usage of customer data has been a heated debate over the years, the results of this study point to the fact that the concerns of collecting and utilizing data in regard to customer privacy, are limited among micro-enterprises within B2B-sector. Additionally, the study addresses advantages and disadvantages with the size of being a micro-enterprise related to the methods of social selling.
