Conference Summary
Overview
This report summarizes the proceedings of the conference on "Customer Relationship Management: Strategies and Company-wide Implementation," cosponsored by the Marketing Science Institute and INSEAD, held July 11-12, 2002, in Fontainebleau, France. Customer relationship management (CRM) is the strategic process of shaping the interactions between a company and its customers with the goal of maximizing current and lifetime value of customers for the company as well as maximizing satisfaction for customers. CRM is a complex set of activities that together form the basis for a sustainable and hard-to-imitate competitive advantage: the customer-focused organization.
This conference addressed strategic and implementation issues from a crossfunctional perspective. It included speakers from the retail, pharmaceuticals, travel/hospitality, and automotive industries.
