Abstract:

Mestrado em Gestão de Sistemas de Informação
Neste estudo foi adoptada a definição proposta por Choy, et al. (2003) e Shaw (1999) onde o Customer Relationship Management é definido como o processo pelo qual uma empresa envereda por uma estratégia de procura de maximização da informação sobre os seus clientes num esforço para aumentar a sua lealdade e pronlogar a relação comercial. A Web 2.0 é o termo geralmente usado para descrever a chamada segunda geração da World Wide Web e está intimamente relacionado com o fenómeno da interacção e partilha de informação online (Barsky & Purdon, 2006). Com a evolução das tecnologias e da Web 2.0 começaram a haver mudanças no comportamento dos consumidores e na sua adopção a estas novas tecnologias tais como redes sociais, foruns, wikis, blogs, entre outros, tendo a Internet como base. Isto é importante, pois permite ás empresas juntar os seus dados sociais, ás informações já existentes nos seus sistemas de CRM, a isto chama-se CRM Social. Define-se como uma filosofia e uma estratégia de negócio, suportada por uma plataforma tecnológica, regras de negócio e caracteristicas sociais, desenhada de forma a empreender conversas colaborativas com os seus clientes (Greenberg, 2010). Neste estudo discute-se a adopção de uma instituição de ensino superior ao CRM Social. Para desenvolver este estudo foi efectuado um método de case study para perceber quais os grandes objectivos inerentes à sua adopção, e se estão de acordo com o estudado por (Greenberg, 2010).
In this study, we adopted the definition proposed by Choy, et al (2003) and Shaw (1999) where Customer Relationship Management is defined has the process which a company decides to invest in a strategy to maximize the information search about their customers in order to increase customer loyalty and to prolong their commercial relationship. Web 2.0 is the term generally used to describe the second generation from the World Wide Web and it is related to the phenomenon of interacting and sharing information online (Barsky & Purdon, 2006). With the evolution of technologies and the Web 2.0, there were changes in customer behavior and people?s adoption to these new technologies, such as social networks, forums, wikis, blogs and others having the internet as its base. This is important for companies to understand in order to add their social information to their CRM information, this is called Social CRM. It is defined as a philosophy and a business strategy, supported by technology platform, business rules, processes and social characteristics, designed to engage customers in collaborative conversations (Greenberg, 2010). This study discusses the adoption of a higher education institution to Social CRM. To develop this study, a case study method was adopted to investigate what were the main objectives behind this adoption and if they are aligned with the definitions studied by (Greenberg, 2010).

Abstract:

Doutoramento em Gestão
Os sítios de redes sociais e os media sociais fazem parte das vidas diárias de mais da metade da população do planeta e fornecem às organizações uma fonte inesgotável de dados sobre as preferências, padrões e tendências sociais dos consumidores. Foi identificada uma lacuna de investigação que revela a oportunidade de explorar ainda mais as contribuições do customer relationship management (CRM) social para a ambidextria. Este estudo aborda o uso do CRM social como uma ferramenta para alcançar a ambidextria, seguindo uma abordagem ao CRM social baseada em pessoas, processos e tecnologia e apoiada pela teoria da Exploration-Exploitation (Ex-Ex) e pela teoria da ambidextria. O estudo utiliza um desenho multi-método qualitativo, com um estudo de caso múltiplo considerando dois casos e realizando uma análise comparativa qualitativa (usando fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis). Os dados primários foram obtidos através de entrevistas a informadores-chave de empresas fornecedoras de soluções de software e serviços de consultoria relacionados com os media sociais, e também a empresas clientes oriundas de diversos sectores. Os resultados do estudo mostram a dificuldade em alcançar a ambidextria e permitem a identificação de dois fatores-chave para o seu alcance – um baixo nível de adopção de plataformas de media sociais e uma pequena ou média dimensão da empresa. Do ponto de vista académico, as principais contribuições relacionam-se com a identificação das configurações de condições para que uma organização atinja a ambidextria. Além disso, os resultados mostram as restrições relacionadas com o alcance da ambidextria por organizações com presença nos media sociais aliada a uma estratégia de CRM social. Numa perspectiva de gestão, o estudo propõe um conjunto de acções para superar as limitações identificadas e o enquadramento de tais acções por forma a garantir um percurso relevante para a conquista da ambidextria.
Social networking sites (SNSs) and social media (SM) are part of the daily lives of more than half the population of the planet and they provide organizations with an inexhaustible source of data about consumer preferences, patterns, and social trends. A research gap was found that uncovers the opportunity to further explore the contributions of social customer relationship management (SCRM) to ambidexterity. This study addresses the use of SCRM as a tool to achieve ambidexterity, with an approach to SCRM based in people, processes and technology and supported by the theory of Exploration-Exploitation (Ex-Ex) and the theory of ambidexterity. The study uses a qualitative multi-method design, with a multiple-case study comprising two cases and performing a qualitative comparative analysis (using fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis). Primary data was obtained through interviews with key informants from companies providing software solutions and consultancy services related to SM, and also from clients originating from various companies in several industries. The results of the study show the difficulty in achieving ambidexterity and allow the identification of two key factors for its achievement – a low level of adoption of social media platforms and a small or medium size dimension for the company. From an academic point of view, the main contributions are related with the identification of the configurations conditions for an organization to achieve ambidexterity. Beside that, the results show the constraints related to the pursuit of ambidexterity by organizations with a presence in SM allied to a SCRM strategy. From a managerial point of view, the study proposes a set of actions to overcome the constraints identified and to frame such actions to ensure a significant path to the achievement of ambidexterity.

Abstract:

Today the amount of data available is huge and the growth is even vaster. Data containing all sorts of information is easy to acquire and available for all who seeks it. The age of Information Technology has produced many potent techniques to collect and compile data; however the next decennia may produce technologies that better help us understand how to transform this data into action. This paper seeks to analyze and explain the importance for firms to use a Customer Relationship Management system that combines all consumer information available. The authors argue that combining consumer information with increased analytical capabilities could increase the number of decisions based on rationality. Firms need to increase internal cooperation between departments, and put an end to departments working as separate units.

Mestrado em Marketing
O cliente dos dias de hoje é cada vez mais virtual, deixou de ter uma atitude passiva perante as marcas que consome, procurando a criação de um envolvimento e relacionamento com as mesmas. Esta mudança de paradigma introduz-nos o Social Customer Relationship Management (SCRM) que se apresenta como uma estratégia de Customer Relationship Management (CRM), que se encontra muito focada na criação de envolvimento com o cliente na Web 2.0, nomeadamente, nos Social Networks Sites (SNSs). A presente dissertação pretende averiguar no contexto português, o que procuram os clientes quando se conectam a uma marca/empresa nos SNSs, perceber as implicações do género, faixa etária e das diferentes plataformas nos objetivos pretendidos, assim como averiguar se a Web 2.0 e os SNSs, permitem ao cliente interagir, envolver-se e criar uma relação com a marca. A investigação assume assim uma abordagem quantitativa com recurso a uma amostragem não probabilística por conveniência, tendo sido utilizados para análise 262 questionários, de onde foi possível concluir que os principais objetivos dos clientes são obter informações gerais, apoiar a marca e ver testemunhos e experiências de outros clientes. Adicionalmente foi possível observar que os objetivos não diferem de acordo com a faixa etária do cliente, contudo, verificou-se que dependendo do SNS onde a marca/empresa está inserida, os objetivos de interação com esta diferem. Este estudo é trona-se assim num contributo importante na área do SCRM, do ponto de vista teórico e de gestão, na medida em que confere um conjunto de insights importantes sobre o tema.

Abstract:

Abstract Social media is a marketing phenomenon that is growing very fast. Social media helps creating value for customers in broadcasting the advertising among social networks. Blog posts, videos, pictures, reviews and ratings all have a significant impact on marketing. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how companies can achieve customer loyalty and customer relationship management using social media marketing and if companies can target new customers by social media. An inductive research approach was used in the study. Semi-structured interviews were performed with interviewees from two companies. A survey questionnaire was answered by 100 social media users which were also customers of the companies. The findings show that there are certain constraints in social media such as risk of user information security when their information can be shared with the companies so that companies can do better marketing research. Word of mouth is spread on social media where new customers are targeted. Social media is providing new channels for support, advertisement and acting as a news feed tool to keep customers up to date about recent events and news. The company stated that no extra resources were required to market on social media.

Abstract:

Social media is a rapidly rising phenomenon, providing new opportunities for consumers and businesses to communicate and share information. The development of social media has allowed for customer relationship management (CRM) to extend its area of use, coining the now common concept social CRM. Social CRM allows for new levels of interactivity between companies and consumers, however the effectiveness of social CRM is uncertain in many areas, mainly due to it being hard to tie customer interaction in social CRM to tangibles for the company. One of these areas is customer acquisition, where there are difficulties for companies to see how actions in their social CRM efforts affect customer acquisition. Being able to reach out to customers in an effective way is not enough for companies to acquire a customer. The value the company is proposing also has to be attractive for the customer, to be considered. There are several attributes that a company has to consider for its value proposition, in order for it to be successful. Depending on the industry the attributes can have different weight, emphasizing that companies should know what customers in their industry value. For this reason, having better knowledge of what customers value than the competition, thus having a stronger value proposition, grants a competitive edge. The purpose of this research project is to provide better understanding of how to conduct social CRM, while at the same time investigating how value propositions of telecom companies can be improved, to eventually increase customer acquisition. In order to fulfill the purpose, extensive literature has been evaluated, in addition to data gathered in focus groups. Three focus groups were conducted in Luleå, Sweden, with a total of 18 participants of ages 20-30. The results of the research project point towards the customer being in charge of social CRM interaction with companies, meaning companies have to adapt their social CRM strategies to fit the customers’ desires. The social customer have high demands of privacy in social media, which implies a thin line companies have to walk to convey their message, while at the same time not intruding on the customer’s privacy. The findings also indicate that customers want high flexibility, simplicity, and trustworthiness from telecom companies’ value propositions, emphasizing companies to adapt their value propositions to meet these demands.

Abstract:

Small business enterprise (SBE) managers often lack resources, expertise, and impact when selling in an online environment. SBEs can overcome increased competition by adopting customer relationship management (CRM) into their business model for survival and longevity. Using the conceptual framework technology, organization, environment (TOE), this multiple case study explored effective marketing strategies that small store retail managers use to successfully sell apparel and accessories in online markets. The study population included leaders from independent small online retail enterprises with brick-and-mortar stores located in the Central, Tri-Cities, or Southside areas in Virginia. The data collection process included semistructured, on-site interviews of 4 SBE owners or managers and reviewing organizational documents and online postings from those 4 organizations. Using topic coding, the data were organized into nodes grounded in the context of TOE. The thematic analysis yielded 5 themes: social media engagement, price congruency, organizational knowledge benefit, customer satisfaction, and customer engagement. The study findings revealed that a significant strategy for SBEs operating in online markets was social CRM, an inexpensive and critical tool for CRM. Further, CRM tools such as social media required consistent monitoring and the devotion of financial and human resources to deliver constant customer engagement. The implication for social change includes the potential to improve the life cycle of SBEs in smaller communities, which improves community entrepreneurial and startup success. Entrepreneurship contributes to community vitality and economic prosperity by providing employment, skill development, and job training.

Abstract:

This study explores the association between the Customer Relationship Orientation of a company, their Social Media Use through Social Customer Relationship Management Capabilities, with Customer Relationship Performance in order to determine if Social Media can be used as an effective Customer Relationship Management tool in a business-to-business context. In addition, the research will explain if the company’s expectations conform to the customer’s experience. Four digital managers within Swedish small and medium sized enterprises were interviewed and 34 of their corresponding customers took part in an online survey. The findings indicated due to companies limited Social Customer Relationship Management Capabilities the positive impact on Customer Relationship Performance was not achieved through Social Media Use. Furthermore the online surveys revealed that Social Media is not the most effective Customer Relationship Management tool, nevertheless a weak relationship was found and thus Social Media can be used in addition to the companies’ already established Customer Relationship Management activities. Future research will focus on increasing the sample size, revisiting the study in a few years, and why certain intermediaries were significant.

Mestrado em Marketing
As empresas estão cada vez mais centradas no cliente e em novas formas de os abordar individualmente. As tecnologias mobile e da Web 2.0 têm permitido às empresas desenvolver-se neste campo e aproximar-se dos clientes. A presente investigação foca-se na forma como os sistemas de Customer Relationship Management (CRM) são utilizados pelas empresas de recrutamento a nível Europeu por forma a ajudar os candidatos a encontrar emprego de forma personalizada. Para melhor compreender a utilização destes sistemas de CRM, a metodologia utilizada para este estudo exploratório foi a quantitativa com recurso à técnica de amostragem não probabilística, baseada em julgamento. No total foram estudadas 35 agências de recrutamento. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a utilização de software por parte das agências de recrutamento é bastante notória. Neste estudo foi ainda possível perceber que o CRM 2.0 está presente na grande maioria das empresas em estudo, que não descuram o envio de ofertas de emprego personalizadas para os candidatos via e-mail, assim como a utilização das redes sociais como forma de contacto e de divulgação de ofertas de emprego. Quanto ao mobile CRM, existe ainda muito por explorar neste canal, uma vez que as agências focam os seus recursos na Web 2.0, deixando de parte o grande potencial deste canal.
On a daily basis, companies are growing more focused on the costumer and in new ways to approach them individually. Mobile technologies and Web 2.0 have been pushing companies to evolve in this matter and helping them to approach costumers. The present research is focused on the way Costumer Relationship Management (CRM) systems are used, on an european level, by recruiting companies to assist candidates in finding an adequate job. For better understanding this CRM systems, the methodology used in the exploratory study was quantitative, resorting to a non-prababilistic sampling technic, based on judgement. In total, 35 recruiting agencies were studied. Obtained results showed that the use of software in recruiting agencies is quite common. In this study, it was also possible to verify that CRM 2.0 is present in the vast majority of the studied companies, who do not neglect sending customized job offers via email to their candidates as well as using social networks as communication and job offers divulgation tools. When it comes to mobile CRM, there's still much to be explored in this channel, as agencies focus their resources in Web 2.0, leaving this channel's great potential unused.

Abstract:

Aldrig tidigare har företag haft lika goda möjligheter till kommunikation gentemot sin kundbas som idag, vilket är ett resultat av internets tillväxt och skapandet av sociala medier. Facebook som är det största sociala mediet sett till antal användare har en styrka i att ge både företag och privatpersoner breda användarmöjligheter. Med hjälp av sociala medier kan företag gratis skapa ett konto och börja marknadsföra sig själva samt skapa och underhålla kundrelationer på en plattform som många privatpersoner dagligen använder. Det finns många studier som visar på stora positiva möjligheter för företag av alla storlekar vid användande av sociala medier för att skapa och underhålla kundrelationer. Den här studien behöver därmed inte fokusera på faktumet om företag borde utnyttja Facebook för byggandet och förstärkandet av sina kundrelationer, utan snarare hur detta kan göras inom området små detaljhandelsföretag. Syftet för studien att är att kunna beskriva hur företag inom detaljhandel kan använda sig av sociala medier för att skapa och underhålla kundrelationer. Frågeställningen vi valt att besvara är: Hur kan detaljhandelsföretag skapa och underhålla kundrelationer genom Facebook? Vi har använt oss av ett abduktivt förhållningssätt baserat på en hermeneutisk ståndpunkt. För att samla in information om hur detaljhandelsföretag använder sig av Facebook för att skapa och underhålla kundrelationer har vi genomfört semistrukturerade intervjuer med tre företag utvalda genom bekvämlighetsurval. Studien kom fram till att engagemang och undansatt tid för sociala medier är sällsynt för små företag inom detaljhandeln. Istället är det en redan existerande position som har Facebooksidan som ansvar vid sidan av sina huvudsysslor. Vi kom fram till att de fyra delarna engagemang, tid, strategi/målsättning och interaktion med kund lägger grunden för en framgångsrik kundrelationshantering via Facebook. Inom framtida forskning rekommenderar vi ett fokus på redan framgångsrika små detaljhandelsföretag och undersöka vad denna framgång beror på genom att titta på strategier och mätmetoder som dessa företag använder och hur dessa kombinerar engagemang, tid och interaktionsproblematiken som existerar idag.

Abstract:

The digital age has brought many new technologies that are disrupting the way that companies interact with customers. Automated technologies are one aspect of technological development in recent days, and it has changed how regular business operations are performed. Chatbots, for instance, has changed the way that customers interact with companies. Facilitating interaction and being available around the clock to serve customers who have questions. This study investigated how automated technologies are used in CRM-activities of companies and how the implementation of such technologies can lead to customer engagement. CRM, Customer Relationship Management, is a core business strategy that aims to strengthen customer relationships through co-creating value with the use of supporting technologies. Customer engagement is a measurement of a customer's involvement with a firm over time, with the end goal of customers becoming “fans” that advocate and generate word-of-mouth for the firm. This study investigates how companies utilize automated technologies in CRM-activities and if these technologies can help lead to customer engagement. The study aims to answer the following research question: How are automated technologies, more specifically chatbots, used in existing CRM strategies to further create customer engagement? The study conducted investigates these technologies within five companies that utilize chatbot-technologies from chatbot-providers. The chatbot-providers are also part of the study to get a more comprehensive view of the functionalities and purpose of these technologies. The contrasting view of companies and chatbot-providers is used to answer the sub-purposes of the thesis regarding how companies implement automated technologies. A qualitative study with interviews was conducted, along with secondary data from written documentary sources. The data were analyzed in a theoretical thematic analysis in which themes were developed from the theoretical framework. The findings of the study show that despite the potential of automated technologies, the most prominent use is for customer service operations. The potential for automated technologies in CRM is greater than what was found in the interviewed companies. The findings also demonstrate that automated technologies facilitate connection, interaction, and increases customer satisfaction, which can lead to customer engagement. The findings also show that there is a discrepancy in the views of companies who use chatbots in their business processes and the chatbot-providers that help implement them.

Abstract:

Nowadays social relationships between service providers and customers are vital for their long term customer relationship management (CRM). Several scholars also believe that poor results of CRM initiatives are due to an extensive focus on technological aspects as an antecedent of CRM rather than social capital dimensions. Despite social capital and CRM concepts have attracted both academics and practitioners; the link between these two concepts is under-researched. Thus, this study examines the effect of social capital on CRM through mediating organisational perceived values. The exhaustive literature review on social capital dimensions, organisational perceived values and CRM performance leads to the development of a conceptual framework and formulation hypotheses. The proposed framework and hypotheses were empirically assessed through a positivist methodological approach: survey study and quantitative data modelling techniques. The survey study was administrated to CRM managers of 201 Egyptian fmancial service institutions (e.g. banks, insurance companies and brokerage firms) using a drop & collect method. The usable response rate of96.6 per cent was tested for non- response bias. The data analysis focused on exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modelling and regression models which statistically validated the proposed research model. Results of goodness of fit and statistical indices established validity and reliability of this study. The results confmned three social capital dimensions (e.g. structural, cognitive and relational) and their antecedents. The fmdings also proved a significant and positive link between social capital and CRM performance (e.g. loyalty and retention) through the mediating roles of organisational perceived values (e.g. customer satisfaction and customer commitment). Therefore, the proposed conceptual framework was validated. Thus, sixteen hypotheses were supported while only one was refuted. This study makes three main contributions: First, it remedies deficiencies in the existing social capital literature and develops an integrated model of social capital. Second, it develops and tests a comprehensive framework that integrates social capital with CRM performance in the fmancial service sector. Third, it brought in a new significant strategy for fmancial service institutions managers to improve customer-organisation relationships. It introduced social capital as an antecedent for an effective CRM performance. The implications and practice are considered in the light of the results of this study. Several limitations of the methodology are addressed and ideas for further research put forward.

Abstract:

The economic situation and the improved technology weaken the bond be-tween banks and their customers. To adapt to the changing behavior of customers banks engage in Social Media with the aim to strengthen their relationship. However, Social Media may not have the expected effect on the banks’ customers. The purpose of this thesis is to answer whether interaction through Facebook can improve the relationship between Handelsbanken and its customers and whether the employees’ and the customers’ perceived value of interacting through Facebook is equal. The theoretical framework focus on how to build relationships with customers, how to add customer value and what encourages consumers to engage in word-of-mouth. The concept of Social Media is explained and a description of Facebook is provided. The last section in the theoretical framework discusses the implementation of Facebook into the organization of Handelsbanken. A qualitative study was conducted through interviews with employees and customers of Handelsbanken. During the study it was revealed that both the customers and the employees had low awareness of Handelsbanken’s presence on Facebook. The content on the Facebook page does not encourage interaction or add value to the customers. The main problems for succeeding with the Facebook page are absence of marketing and no customer need for interacting on Facebook with their bank. In addition, it was revealed that implementing a centrally moderated communication tool to a decentralized organization is not successful.

Abstract:

Titel: Social Customer Relationship Management - En kvalitativ studie om hur svenska företag inom dagligvaruhandeln använder sociala medier för att skapa samt hantera kundrelationer Nivå: Examensarbete på Grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Jennifer Palm och Louise Wallsten Handledare: Jonas Molin och Lars-Johan Åge Datum: 2021 - maj Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att få ökad förståelse för hur företag inom dagligvaruhandeln arbetar med SCRM. Metod: En kvalitativ forskningsansats tillämpas för denna uppsats. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer samt en mailintervju med respondenter som tillhör företag inom dagligvaruhandeln. Resultat & slutsats: Studiens samtliga respondenter är överens om kundens centrala roll och betonar den framgång som sociala medier har bidragit med i skapandet samt hanteringen av kundrelationer. För att skapa dessa önskade kundrelationer används sociala medier som det kommunikationsverktyg där företagen kontinuerligt kommunicerar med sina kunder. Genom kundernas återkopplingar får företagen en ökad vetskap gällande hur relationer ska formas för att tillfredsställa kundens behov. Examensarbetets bidrag: Det teoretiska bidraget för studien är den analysmodell som har utformats i syfte att minimera osäkerheten gällande företags implementering av SCRM. Vidare till det praktiska bidraget visar denna studie de positiva aspekter som finns vid implementeringen av SCRM och hoppas att företag inom dagligvaruhandeln kommer finna ett större intresse av SCRM då fördelarna med användningen överväger dess nackdelar. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Denna studie har ett empiriskt urval som består av respondenter från dagligvaruhandeln. Detta gör att resultatet för studien endast kan appliceras på företag som befinner sig inom liknande bransch. Vi finner därför att vidare forskning är intressant att genomföra för företag inom en annan specifik bransch i syfte att se hur dessa företag arbetar med sociala medier i koppling till kundrelationer Nyckelord: Social Customer Relationship Management (SCRM), Sociala medier, Electronic-Word-Of-Mouth (eWOM) och Dagligvaruhandel

Abstract:

Idag är det nödvändigt för alla företag att fokusera på att skapa långvariga kundrelationer.Customer relationship management (CRM) gör det möjligt för företag att spåra kundersinteraktioner med företag. Det har blivit alltmer viktigt för företag att vara aktiva inom socialamedier för att skapa både kundengagemang och långsiktiga kundrelationer. Facebook är detmest använda forumet som företag idag använder. I samband med sociala mediers utvecklinghar ett nytt koncept utvecklats för att integrera sociala medier i traditionella CRM-system somkallas Social CRM (SCRM). Syftet med uppsatsen var att öka förståelsen för SCRM genomatt studera ett företags arbetssätt med SCRM för att skapa kundrelationer genom Facebook. Vivalde att utgå ifrån ICA Sverige. Studien svarar på frågorna, hur ICA Sverige använder sinFacebook-sida för att skapa kundengagemang, hur ICA Sverige hanterar den kundkritik somkommer in på deras Facebook-sida samt hur ICA Sverige tror att kundkritiken kan påverkaderas varumärke och image. Studien baseras på två semistrukturella intervjuer med CRMansvarigeoch webbredaktören inom ICA Sverige och är skriven på svenska. Eninnehållsanalys genomfördes även under två månader av ICA Sveriges officiella Facebooksida.Studien visade att ICA Sverige använder SCRM genom Facebook trots att de själva inteär medvetna om det. Denna upplysning kan bidra till att ICA Sverige i fortsättningen kan tadel av värdefulla SCRM-strategier som de idag kan ha gått miste om genom sin omedvetenhetom att de arbetar med SCRM. Studien bekräftar tidigare forskning gällande att SCRM än idagverkar vara ett delvis okänt begrepp. Studien har bidragit med en teoretisk analysmodell somföretag kan använda för att analysera SCRM.

Abstract:

This thesis provides an understanding of Social Media monitoring as a business intelligence system and how a multinational corporation can use these processes to complement existing traditional feedback processes. The purpose of this thesis is to provide the reader with a literature review of Social Media and Social Media monitoring, and an exploratory study of Social Media monitoring practices within a multinational corporation looking to integrate these systems. The chosen research strategy is a case study with single-case embedded analysis. The case company used for this practice is Volvo Construction Equipment Region International with headquarters in Eskilstuna, Sweden. In order to receive a more in-depth understanding from our respondents, the qualitative method was selected. The theoretical framework chapter discusses five major research areas including Customer Relationship Management, Social Media and Social Media monitoring, Intelligence, knowledge management and organizational learning. The empirical evidence chapter has been divided into two sections: internal findings and external findings. The internal findings focus on Volvo Construction Equipment Region International and the company‟s current feedback process. The external findings focus on the comparison between Social Media monitoring companies. The analysis links together the internal and external findings from the empirical section and also draws references to the theoretical framework. The conclusion of this thesis states how a multinational corporation can add value to current feedback processes through the use of Social Media monitoring. This is reached through addressing the purpose of this thesis and answering the main research question and the sub research questions. Social Media monitoring can add value to current feedback processes through reducing time, fostering customer relationships, increasing flexibility, and receiving feedback from non-customers. Social Media monitoring when used effectively, can act as a complement to traditional customer feedback collection methods. Recommendations are made specifically for Volvo Construction Equipment Region International and are based upon an entry strategy with Social Media monitoring. Since this thesis was written within a limited time period, further research areas are presented at the end of the work.

Abstract:

Som ett resultat av att fler konsumenter idag befinner sig på social media samtidigt som fler företag strävar efter förbättrade kundrelationer har Socialt CRM (Customer Relationship Management) blivit en vital strategi för kundrelationer för företag. Socialt CRM är ännu ett relativt outforskat område som vid felaktig användning och implementering kan resultera i finansiella misslyckanden. Det är därför viktigt att genomföra forskning inom området så att företag ska veta om och hur de ska formulera sina strategier så att deras investeringar lönar sig. Denna studie syftar därför att öka förståelsen för vad konsumenter tycker om att företagen använder social media som en kanal för kundengagemang och personaliserad marknadsföring. Detta genomfördes genom att tillämpa en kvalitativ intervjustudie där nio konsumenter med aktiva profiler på social media intervjuades i syfte att öka förståelsen för konsumenternas uppfattningar avseende kundengagemang och personaliserad marknadsföring. Resultatet från studien uppvisade ett antal olika forskningsansatser som företag kan ta tillvara på, bland annat identifierades det att konsumenter upplever att emotionellt och rationellt innehåll på social media bör anpassas baserat på beroende vilken produkt eller tjänst som informationen avser. Resultatet visade även att konsumenter generellt uppskattar när företag är aktiva på social media och engagerar sig med kunder. Denna aktivitet gör konsumenter mer lojala och benägna till att köpa av företag med aktiva profiler. Avslutningsvis visade även resultatet att konsumenter överlag upplever personaliserad marknadsföring som något positivt och att personaliseringen har hög träffsäkerhet på social media. Samtidigt visade resultatet däremot att det finns ett antal aspekter inom personaliserad marknadsföring som kan effektiviseras samt att det krävs en balans för att marknadsföringen inte ska bli kränkande mot konsumentens integritet. Resultaten från denna studie ger upphov till vidare forskning inom området, förslagsvis kan balansen mellan personaliserad marknadsföring och användning av kunddata kvalitativt studeras genom intervjuer med företag.

Abstract:

Sociala medier har på sistone vuxit till att bli ett mycket populärt verktyg för att kommunicera med folk världen över. Användandet av sociala nätverk har ökat explosionsartat de senaste åren och företag har insett att detta bjuder på en fantastisk möjlighet till att nå ut till kunder runt hela jorden, via ett nästintill gratis forum. På de olika kanalerna erbjuds företag de medel de behöver för att kunna kommunicera med sina kunder över nätet och på detta sätt interagera med kunderna på ett ställe där de redan finns. Utöver möjligheten att kommunicera med kunden kan företaget publicera redaktionellt innehåll med syftet att marknadsföra sin verksamhet och dess produkter. Fördelarna som kommer med marknadsföring via sociala medier är många, men det finns nackdelar som gör att man måste hantera sitt företags sociala nätverk med stor aktsamhet. Sociala medier är en plattform som är öppen för alla, där alla användare kan uttrycka sina egna tankar och åsikter. Tankar och åsikter som ett företag varken kan förutse eller kontrollera. I detta arbete har vi undersökt hur ett företag ska arbeta med sina sociala medier för att det ska ge ett positivt resultat för både kund och företag i fråga, vilka negativa effekter som kan uppstå genom att ett företag aktivt arbetar med sociala medier samt vad kunden tycker om företag som finns på sociala medier.
Social media has recently grown to be a very popular tool for communicating with people all over the world. The use of social networks has grown exponentially in recent years and companies have realized that this offers a fantastic opportunity to reach customers around the globe, via a virtually free forum. The different channels offer businesses the resources they need to communicate with their customers over the Internet, and thanks to this they can interact with customers in a place where they already exist. In addition to the ability to communicate with the customers, the company is now able to publish editorial content with the aim to market their business and its products. Benefits that come with marketing through social media are numerous, but there are drawbacks that make it necessary to manage the corporate social networks with great care. Social media is a platform that is open to all, where everybody can express their own thoughts and opinions. Thoughts and views as a company can not foresee nor control. In this essay, we have investigated how a company should work with their social media for it to give a positive result for both the customer and the company in question, the negative effects that may arise from a company actively involved in social media, and what customers think of companies that are on social media.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att skapa en ökad förståelse för hur företag skapar och stärker kundrelationer genom användningen av sociala medier. Vi har valt att lägga fokus på de potentiella möjligheterna som social media medför men även eventuella risker som medförs via denna kanal. Teoretisk referensram: Kapitlet inleds med en beskrivning av vad relation innebär för att därefter gå över till den allt större betydelsen av kundrelationer i dagens samhälle. Interaktion och kundlojalitet presenteras efterföljt med en beskrivning av webbens utveckling samt användningsområdena kring de sociala medierna. Metod: Studien grundar sig på en kvalitativ metod med en deduktiv ansats där empirin baseras på tre personliga intervjuer med representanter från fallföretagen Raw Food Business Sweden AB, 100% Party AB samt Gekås AB. Utöver dessa primärdata har vi hämtat sekundärdata i form av vetenskapliga artiklar, tryckt litteratur samt internetsidor. Utifrån den insamlade empirin har vi valt att genomföra en analys som först består av en inomfallsananlys för att sedan gå över till en mellanfallsanalys där de tre fallföretagen ställs mot varandra. Slutsats: Vi har i denna studie kommit fram till att sociala medier är ett effektivt verktyg för interaktion mellan företag och kund. För att skapa och stärka kundrelationer krävs det ett tydligt användningssyfte och förståelse hos företag. De sociala medierna möjliggör att en personlig dialog skapas, vilket leder till att kunden på ett snabbt och enkelt sätt tillhandahåller god kundservice och mervärde.

Abstract:

Today’s competition among companies has increased due to the development of the Internet. Customer loyalty is crucial for companies in today’s market. It is important to create a customer base, which will result in a positive effect on profit and sustainability. Social media, such as Instagram, has an impact on customers today. Social media has made it possible for companies to be closer to their customer than ever before. The purpose of this study was to explain how a company can influence Instagram followers’ loyalty through the use of Instagram. This study examines several crucial factors which are considered to have an impact on customer loyalty. The study uses a deductive approach and the data was collected using an internetbased survey posted on a specific Instagram account. The result of the empirical study shows evidence to support that the variables community, choice and word of mouth have a significant impact on loyalty through Instagram. There is no evidence in the study that the variables customization, convenience and character have any impact on customer loyalty. The study further examines and suggests that there is no significant relationship between an individual attitude towards a company and the individual actions on Instagram.
Internet har gjort det möjligt för kunder att jämföra företag och produkter med endast en knapptryckning, något som inte varit möjligt innan utvecklingen av internet. Detta har gjort att konkurrensen ökar bland företag. Sociala medier har växt fram i och med utvecklingen av internet, vilket innebär att företag kan komma närmare sina kunder än någonsin tidigare. Det saknas kunskap om hur företag kan skapa konkurrensfördelar med hjälp av sociala medier, tidigare har internet och social medier sätts som samma sak. Ett sätt att påverka ett företags konkurrenssituation är att bygga konsumentrelationer genom att skapa lojalitet hos kunden till företaget. Syftet med denna uppsats var att kartlägga lojaliteten hos ett medieföretags instagramföljare genom att undersöka sex faktorers påverkan på lojalitet. Det som undersöks är hur följarnas lojalitet påverkas av följarnas attityd till instagramkontots design, benägenhet att sprida information om kontot, tillgången till information, känsla av samhörighet, anpassning och användarvänlighet. I studien undersöks sambandet mellan attityd och beteende, om följarens attityd återspeglas i dess beteende. I studien användes ett deduktivt synsätt där teori jämförs med data som samlats in. Vi formulerade sex hypoteser och en forskningsfråga utifrån teorier om lojalitet. Detta gjordes för att kunna studera följarnas lojalitet, attityd och beteende. Empirisk data samlades in genom att en enkät publicerade på ett specifikt företags instagramkonto. Företagets följare fick möjlighet att besvara 21 frågor som syftade till att mäta hur olika faktorer påverkade följarens lojalitet till företaget och kopplingen mellan en följarens attityd och dess beteende. Resultatet av vår studie tyder på att följarens lojalitet påverkas av följarens benägenhet att sprida information om kontot, tillgången till information och känsla av samhörighet. I studien fanns det inget som tyder på att instagramkontots design, anpassning och användarvänlighet har en påverkan på följarens lojalitet. Vårt resultat tyder också på att det inte finns något samband mellan en följares attityd och följaren beteende på Instagram.

Cram schools are service establishments which specialize in teaching learners highly accelerated curriculums for the purpose of taking examinations. These tutelage institutions are a vital component in the educational system of Taiwan and are relatively rife. Over the past few years, due to reasons such as low birth rate and heightening competition, difficulty in maintaining the operation of cram schools is increasing. Researchers have asserted that in order to remain competitive in the marketplace, businesses are required to fortify relations with customers. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is the process of managing relationships with customers. This study delves into the core elements of CRM and reveals its functions and purpose to those oblivious to its essence. Furthermore, it examines the implementation of Social CRM into cram school operations and its probable consequences. The Social CRM process is structured in the form of an Internet Learning Platform which consists of tools which can be utilized to sustain relations with patrons. The data collected will be vital in the sense that it would help cram school operators and executives understand the mindset of parents and employees in order to efficiently allocate precious corporate resources to essential and purposeful efforts. The garnered data will be analyzed with the use of AHP. The unique features of this analytical method are that it allows users to make comparisons between multiple criteria as well as alternatives, reach difficult decisions and determine the practicality, importance and effectiveness of problems for analysis. This study reveals that parents do not seek nor do they require a great deal of additional personal attention from cram school staff. Rather, emphasis on the efficacy of schools’ to assist their children in acquiring academic prosperity and focus on the learners is of more significance.

Organizations worldwide are becoming more interested in utilizing social media applications to enhance their marketing capabilities. One of the main fruits of integrating social media applications into the marketing, information technology and information systems areas is social customer relationship management (SCRM). SCRM has been the focus of attention for both marketing academics and practitioners. However, as this area is quite new, there is a need to propose a theoretical foundation explaining how using social media platforms for SCRM systems could predict customer engagement and customer relationship performance. Three main factors, i.e. social media use, a customer-centric management system, and relationship marketing orientation, are considered as key predictors of SCRM. SCRM is proposed as a key determinant of customer engagement, which in turn affects customer relationship performance. The proposed research methodology suggests conducting a quantitative study to validate the current study model. Further discussion regarding the research contribution and main limitations are provided in the last sections.

Social enterprise is defined as a not-profit oriented business to operate independently. Not the mission to make profit for shareholders, it meets social needs, resolve social problems, and create opportunities for vulnerable individuals or groups. However, it’s more difficult to manage a social enterprise than a profit-oriented business for insufficient domain knowledge and rules in Taiwan. Applying customer relationship management (CRM) can target business stakeholders and meet their needs for building life-long loyalty. On the other hand, companies should take shared values as their business discipline to create social value for economical returns, and fulfill their corporate social responsibility (CSR). Employing CRM and shared value on business management are in achieving sustainability. This paper categorized four types of social enterprises. And then with shared value, it applied the principles of CRM and the company-wide integrity of the business model to study four best practices from the different types to explore the context of a sustainable business model. The study suggests that a social enterprise should construct a customer-centric and integration based business model on Internet, emphasize social proposition with vision, enhance infrastructure management by key resources and inter-organizational collaboration, and has a transparent financial planning. But first of all, a social enterprise should apply CRM to segment and identify its stakeholders and then delivery the business value to them.

Abstract:

Fundraising trough social media platforms started to emerge as an easy, fast and practical instrument for non-profit organizations to collect donations. Users can both directly donate to a non-profit organisation social media page, or organize fundraisers inviting their friends to participate. This article proposes a model to investigate the effect of different factors on the intention to donate via social media. Based on data collected from 130 responses, this study uses the multiple linear regression and mediation analysis to test the research model. The result showed that different factors directly influenced the intention to donate, mainly Social Customer Relationship Management and trust in social media. Furthermore, we proved the mediator effect of trust in the non-profit organisation on the relationship between Social Customer Relationship Management and the intention to donate. This findings contribute both to the context of online donations and Social Customer Relationship Management.
Angariação de fundos através das plataformas de redes sociais, tem-se desenvolvido como uma forma fácil, rápida e um instrumento prático para a recolha de doações pelas organizações sem fins lucrativos. Os utilizadores das redes sociais podem facilmente doar diretamente para uma organização sem fins lucrativos via a plataforma e sem sair desta. A presente dissertação sugere um modelo de análise do impacto na intenção em doar através da rede social, da gestão do relacionamento social com o cliente (SCRM), da confiança na rede social (trust in SM) e da confiança na organização sem finslucrativos. Suportado por dados recolhidos através de um inquérito online de 130 respondentes de diferentes nacionalidades, este estudo utiliza os métodos de análise de regressão múltipla e de mediação para testar as hipóteses do modelo conceptual proposto. Os resultados mostram que diferentes fatores influenciam diretamente a intenção em doar através das redes sociais, nomeadamente gestão do relacionamento social com o cliente (SCRM) e a confiança na rede social (trust in SM). Ainda, verificou-se um efeito de mediação da confiança na rede social com a relação entre o SCRM e a intenção de doar através da rede social. Estes resultados contribuem para aprofundar o estudo destes conceitos num contexto quer das doações online, quer da gestão do relacionamento social com o cliente.
