Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has garnered substantial interest from both market practitioners and academic researchers due to the increasing competition and limited consumer base in today's globalized economy. As products and services become more homogenized, organizations seek innovative strategies to remain competitive, often resorting to price reductions. Concurrently, empowered consumers with access to abundant information demand heightened levels of care from organizations, shifting the balance of power towards the customer. Consequently, fostering strong customer relationships has emerged as a critical competitive advantage for organizations aiming for profitability.
The study's significance extends beyond organizational practices to contribute valuable insights to CRM literature and knowledge. By examining the requirements and processes of CRM, the research aims to inform stakeholders such as policymakers, organizations, researchers, and academia about effective customer relationship management strategies. Additionally, the study aims to enrich the body of knowledge in related fields, laying the groundwork for future research endeavors.
