CRM Implementation: A Case Study Presented by Jessica Chen NCU
Background of Research Site • Y3C group started out as a manufacturer • Branched into the retailing sector over 10 years ago • Being a leader in the retail market
Chairman X • “Wild hero,” pepper, domination, innovative, aggressive, and perfection. • Domination • To beat his rivals, he often filled the marketplace with the lowest prices, which forced others to follow suit. • Innovative • Adopting new managerial fads quickly.
Adopting CRM • External professional as the catalyze of CRM initiation • CRM implementation cannot stop • Coercive power from company president • Information infrastructure for CRM. • CR marketing is in a state of virtual neglect
Marketing Practice in Y3C: Sprinting for No. 1 • Fierce Price promotions • Aggressive outlet expansion: • Intensive member • Quantitative-base performance evaluation
Ceremonial Adoption of CRM in Y3C • Little resources were putted in CR marketing • Only one user, not dedicated in CRM • 1 CR campaign/2 months • Most frequently used function—customer listing • ERP can do it too • Performance evaluation—none
Why CRM • Focusing on quality more than quantity • Customer loyalty vs. Market shares • Sales vs. profits • Efficiency • Customer Knowledge • Customer contribution • Small target
Institutional-conflicts of CRM Adoption • Innovation vs. Internalization • Long-term goal and shot-term gain. • Management philosophy in service industry vs. In manufacture industry • Property right • People come and go, new ideology cannot be institutionalized
Practice Adoption • Practice adoption • Implementation + Internalization. • Ceremonial adoption • Practice adoption - Internalization • Implementation (action without mindsets required).
Institutionalization/Internalization in Practice Adoption • Implementation • Expressed in the external and objective behaviors and the actions required • Institutionalization/Internalization • A state in which the employees view the practice as valuable and become committed to the practice. • The change from outer to inner regulation • Only when the values embedded in extrinsic practice infuse into an individual’s ideology and are smoothly and unconflictfully exercised that internalization is complete
