Read the case study below and answer the questions that follow.
Few published empirical studies have examined the design, implementation, and
monitoring of customer relationship management (CRM) programmes at a practical level.
Following that, it considers key areas of a four-year-long CRM programme and offer
insights into the procedure that has been developed by SJP (http://www.sjp.dk), the
consulting firm that was brought in to assist. The procedure is organized around eight
areas: commitment of senior management, situation report, analysis, strategy
formulation, implementation, management development, employee involvement, and
evaluation of loyalty-building processes. Over the four-year-long CRM programme,
Dagbladet B0rsen increased its newspaper circulation by 40 per cent and advertising
revenue by 50 per cent, while total revenue more than doubled. The way in which
marketing is being practised is changing, and this, in turn, is due to dramatic changes in
marketing's context such as physical distance, time, economy, deregulation,
globalization, customer expectations, and new information technology (Brookes et al.,
2002; Doyle, 2000; Hunt, 2000) .. One finding has been that organizations are
increasingly focusing on attracting, developing, and retaining businesses (Jackson, 1985;
Morgan and Hunt, 1994; Reichheld, 1996). This is called relationship marketing (RM)
and is in contrast to 4Ps marketing: product, price, place, and promotion that emphasize
attracting businesses, but less so retaining businesses (Buttle, 1996; Gummesson, 1999).
4Ps Marketing is also known as traditional marketing or transaction marketing (TM).
