<p>1997 kom riksdagen med ett förslag om att genomföra ett teknikskifte inom Sveriges marksända TV-distribution. Teknikskiftet skulle innebära att de analoga TV-sändningarna via marknätet skulle ersättas med digitala TV-sändningar och övergången skulle därför bidra med en mängd ekonomiska och tekniska fördelar. Digital-TV-sändningar erbjöds sedan tidigare av ett fåtal TV-distributörer men skulle nu bli något som fler TV-konsumenter skulle få tillgång till.</p><p>Digital-TV-övergången är nu i full gång och påverkar såväl konsumenter som distributörer av digital-TV produkter och tjänster. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur två digital-TV-distributörer anpassar sin marknadsföring för att stärka relationer till befintliga kunder och skapa relationer till nya kunder. Uppsatsen fokuserar på huruvida distributörerna tillämpar transaktionsmarknadsföring eller relationsmarknadsföring och hur den rådande digital-TV-övergången påverkar marknadsföringen.</p><p>Teorier bakom relationsmarknadsföring fokuserar bland annat på relationen mellan leverantör och kund och detta är det centrala temat i uppsatsen. Värdeskapande, involvering, anpassningsförmåga, informationshantering, kundvård och CRM är några av de saker som studeras på respektive företag. Canal Digital AB och Boxer TV Access AB är de två distributörerna som undersöks och uppsatsen avgränsas till deras verksamhet i Sverige.</p><p>Resultatet av undersökningen tyder på att distributörerna är väl medvetna om vikten av relationen till deras kunder. Flera exempel visar på att företagen arbetar aktivt för att vårda befintliga kunder och dessutom skapa nya relationer med kunder. Distributörerna arbetar med olika aktiviteter som inryms inom begreppet relationsmarknadsföring. Anpassade relationer till kunden medför även ett större engagemang och ansvar från distributörens sida eftersom kunden förväntar sig mer av en relation som uppfattas som personlig.</p><p>I dagsläget kan digital-TV-abonnemang liknas med höginvolverande produkter, men digital-TV-övergången bidrar till en mättad marknad där trenden går mot att konkurrera om varandras kunder. För att undvika ett priskrig med låg involvering hos kunderna är det därför viktigt för distributörerna att kunna hitta nya sätt att differentiera sig.</p>

<p>Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och klarlägga relationsmarknadsföring som ett verktyg i ett företag inom hemelektronikbranschen, samt ta reda på betydelsen av CRM, service management och relationsbildningar för företaget. Vi har valt att använda oss av det kvalitativa tillvägagångssättet där intervjuer med företagets anställda har gjorts. Studien är baserad utifrån ett abduktivt angreppssätt.</p><p>Eftersom studien är kvalitativ har forskningsfrågorna inte kunnat besvaras med konkreta svar utan snarare bredare svar med djup som gett oss förståelse över hur relationsmarknadsföring, CRM, relationer och service management rent praktiskt går till väga. Studien har visat att det förekommer relationer mellan säljare och kund i hemelektronikföretaget men att det inte ses som något direkt marknadsföringsverktyg. Studien har visat att de teoretiska begreppen använts praktisk sätt men inte i de teoretiska termerna. Studien har även visat att det finns möjlighet att företaget kan utveckla transaktioner till relationer, som i sin tur bildar relationsmarknadsföring.</p>

Ingeniero Civil Industrial / Al asistir a los grandes teatros y museos del mundo, la visita queda registrada en los sistemas de estas organizaciones. La mayoría envían un mensaje con alguna oferta para un espectáculo próximo de la misma disciplina o algún programa artístico de temáticas similares, si tiene un hijo le harán una invitación a alguna función infantil y muy probablemente le envíen saludos para su cumpleaños. Este tipo de acciones hablan, en principio, de un interés por gestionar la relación entre la organización y el consumidor. Esto es lo que sucede típicamente en los enfoques relacionales, donde las empresas planean generar ventajas competitivas de largo plazo que sean difíciles de imitar. Para esto es crucial, en primer lugar, conocer a los consumidores. En segundo lugar, y a partir de la información del consumidor, se genera una oferta personalizada que hace la compra más rentable a los consumidores y, en ese sentido, ellos pueden ser vistos como activos de las organizaciones. Este enfoque de negocios es denominado Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Es en este contexto, ¿es posible aplicar un enfoque estratégico CRM a una fundación cultural en Chile? De ser así, ¿bajo qué condiciones es posible aplicarlo? En el contexto de la realización de la memoria, el objetivo que se plantea es definir el diseño de la herramienta estratégica CRM utilizando la metodología descrita por Payne (2005) donde se estudia el estado actual de la organización en cinco procesos que describen el enfoque CRM: i) Proceso de desarrollo estratégico; ii) Proceso de creación de valor; iii) Proceso de integración multicanal; iv) Proceso de gestión de la información; v) Proceso de evaluación del rendimiento. Posteriormente, en base al grado de avance de la organización en cada uno de los procesos, se delinea un plan de implementación estableciendo las tareas que debe realizar la organización. Se concluye finalmente que la estrategia de la institución es enfocada en la venta de productos, este diagnóstico se fundamenta en el estado actual de la organización en cada uno de los procesos que propone la metodología. Esto no permite la inmediata implementación del enfoque estratégico CRM. Sin embargo, se plantea la posibilidad del cambio en la posición estratégica dentro de la matriz CRM cumpliendo con las tareas que se establecen en el plan de implementación, logrando establecer una estrategia de marketing basada en los consumidores.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the trends related to the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) with emphasis on the CRM software. Essential trends were identified through professional analytical reports and dedicated servers. CRM trends were analysed from the time and factual perspective. The core purpose of this thesis was to evaluate possible business value of identified trends for businesses from a selected market segment. To fulfil this goal, the banking segment was chosen to be further analysed. The author of this thesis studied the extent of implementation of chosen trends in a real CRM implementation project executed in a bank operating on the market of Czech Republic. In the process, the set of interviews with "CRM in banking sector" professionals were completed to figure out how they are possibly appreciated by the whole banking sector. Through the responses of the chosen professionals, some trends characteristics were mainly followed. These were trend maturity (captured by slightly modified Gartner Hype Cycle) and trend business value (captured by defined numeral evaluation). An average evaluation of business value of each trend, done from various time perspectives, was displayed by two different tables, each grouping trends on the factual basis. Finally, trends business values were represented graphically to accent their possible progress as seen from the banking sector point of view and to provide users with a simple tool to confront their view with the view of the professionals. The tool mentioned allows users to focus on the trends that are likely to be very beneficial (according to the general opinion of the chosen professionals) and at the same time allows users to stay clear of the trends that don't promise much value for the banking sector, not even in the future.

The digitalization has provided the retailing business with a wide range of technologies and systems that has made it possible for retailers to connect with customers and do businesses in a new and efficient way. However, the new advanced technology has also provided some challenges such as higher competition and new demands from the customer. Since the customer is a vital part of the retail business and technology has become a big part of people and businesses everyday life, this study aims to create a richer understanding of the importance of digital technology for managing customer relations in the retail sector. By conducting interviews with owners and part owners of retail businesses the study was able to get an insight of their view on this matter. The result shows that the technology does not play the primary role but can be applied as an extension to the physical meeting and facilitate parts that constitute good customer relations.

Thesis (M.Com. (Marketing Management and Information Systems))--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, School of Economic and Business Sciences, 2014. / This study evaluates the impact of the TOMS Shoes one-for-one campaign on the perceptions, attitudes and purchase intentions of Generation Y (GenY) consumers in the United States. The theoretical framework of the study is based on the CRM Response Model, which integrates several psychological and behavioural measures in describing GenYs‘ response to campaign messages (Waters 2006, Hyllegard 2009). The model was operationalised by a hypothetico-deductive research design and data was analysed through Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The strongest determinant of the model‘s outcome variable (i.e. ‗purchase intentions') is brand motivation or ‗attitude towards the brand‘. Consequently the causes chosen must have affinity with the company‘s products for GenY to respond favourably to the campaign messages. Combining emotionally evocative stimuli/imagery with a cause that GenY consumers care about or are ‗involved‘ is bound to make them like or believe (accept) the campaign. The ‗emotional‘ reactions of GenY determine whether they will pay ‗attention‘ and/or 'like the campaign message' or not. The cohort‘s ‗involvement‘ in the shoe cause is partially mediated by ‗attention‘ and has a weak but significant influence on ‗attitude towards the brand‘. Likeable and/or memorable ads tend to be more effective in persuading consumers than neutral advertisements. ‗Attention‘ has a direct influence on ‗attitude towards the advertisement‘ or liking the campaign message, with communications effects in essence minimal without ‗attention‘.
