CRM Implementation in Indian Telecom Industry – Evaluating the Effectiveness ...Waqas Tariq
With the liberalization and internationalization in telecommunication, service quality has become an important means of differentiation and path to achieve business success. Such differentiation based on service quality is seen as a key source of competitiveness for many Indian firms and hence have implications for leadership in such organizations. Faced with a growing market and increasing competition, companies in the telecom business are adopting to new technological imperatives in order to outperform their competitors. These companies adapt continuously to the dynamic environment so as to survive competition. The emphasis here lies in identifying critical value adding processes and redesigning them to become customer centric. One such approach in the adoption of an IT to move towards customers is the Customer Relationship Management (CRM). The Indian Mobile Service Providers are using CRM extensively to identify the needs of the customers and stretching out ways and means to satisfy them. In this context, it is absolutely essential to study the effectiveness of the CRM being practiced by the mobile service providers. This study specifically analyses the extent to which CRM is being practiced by the mobile service providers, and identifies the effect of the service quality of the mobile service providers on the Customer Loyalty. As CRM focuses on being customer centric, it becomes essential to measure the effectiveness of CRM in terms of the degree to which the customers are advocates of the mobile service provider as well as to measure the degree to which they participate in the cross selling and up selling of the various products and services of the provider. To evaluate the effectiveness, there are lots of quantitative techniques available and some work in this area has already been done. But there is a dearth of literature focusing on the relative efficiency. One advanced operations research technique which evaluates the relative efficiency is the Frontier Analysis or Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This paper attempts to use Data Envelopment Analysis to assess the effectiveness of Mobile Service Providers, specifically a set of the providers offering services in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The research has identified a set of input and output parameters for each Service Provider, from which the efficient frontiers (DMUs) are determined. The relative efficiency of the Service Providers are measured with respect to the efficient frontier and then analyzed. Detailed recommendations are set forth, for appropriate interventions to address the specific gaps identified through the gaps analysis. The analysis further provides useful information and opens up new avenues for future research.
Customer is a king and Customers are the mainly focused in making new marketing strategy. In the banking field a unique relationship exists between the customers and the bank. But because of various reasons like lack of training ,new technology literacy, financial targets, risk of failure etc., some banks are still following the traditional ways of marketing and another hand some are making attempts to adapt CRM. It is with this background, the researcher has made a modest attempt towards the idea that CRM can be adapted uniformly in the banking industry for betterment of Banking Services.

However, most of businesses need to know and look at the particular measures and dimensions of the CRM that have a significant impact on customer satisfaction and loyalty, which would enrich the business' performance, especially with the increase in competition as well as lack of differentiation in providing a service.

Elaborate on how modern CRM systems can build sustainable long-term customer relationships that can create value for both companies and their customers. In addition, to helping many companies acquire new customers while also retaining and expanding their relationships with advantageous existing customers. Overall, this topic is an approach to manage a company’s interaction with current and potential customers. It uses data analysis about customers history with a company to improve business relationships with customers. It specifically focuses on customer retention and driving sales growth. The reason this is important and relevant to our class is because businesses data is used to see what customers like and don’t like. Businesses use this because sales tend to improve overall when they use CRM.
Tentative milestone/schedule of the project.
Introduction
Customer relationship management is very commonly referred to as CRM within the business world. It is perceived as both a customer-driven and customer-focused strategy that in part is used to aid the communication between businesses and their customers (Rainer & Prince, 2020). It does in fact also contribute a great deal to many businesses marketing tactics and more specifically allowing them to focus on customers individually. Then, providing them with the proper information needed to meet their individual customer’s needs and desires, which in essence contributes to creating a customer intimacy that so many businesses lack today. With living in a very digital and internet driven world today, customer relationship management has been able to really fill a void that has unintentionally been created by the Internet because of how impersonal it has made what used to be in-person experiences, now digitized.
The process in which customer relationship management is utilized, is by employing information technologies through numerous systems and applications. It is a technology used to manag.

Embracing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to Improve Organisational Vi...IOSRJBM
The study aimed at finding ways of improving organisational viability by small businesses in Chinhoyi through applying Customer Relationship Management (CRM). This study was prompted by lack of growth of the sector. These firms have been facing a business environment characterised by low Gross Domestic Product (GDP), foreign currency challenges, high unemployment, brain drain, liquidity crisis, high competition and low demand for domestic products. The descriptive design was used. Thirty registered small businesses, with approximately 100 subordinates and 25 managers/supervisors formed the target population for the study. The sample size was 40 and comprised of 30 subordinates and 10 managers/supervisors. Simple random sampling was used to select respondents for the study. The research instruments used were questionnaires, observations and interviews. The study found out that many small businesses do not have a comprehensive CRM programme. The study concluded that lack of a comprehensive customer relationship management programmes by small businesses has been hampering performance of the sector. The study recommends the implementation of CRM programmes by small businesses in Zimbabwe through information centres and embracing information technology. Feedback processes are also necessary for CRM. There is need to carry out a national survey on CRM for small businesses for generalisation of findings across the entire Zimbabwean economy.

Abstract
Customer Relation Management (CMR) is a tool that has shown prospect even beyond customers’ retention to
customers’ attraction. A focus on an aspect of CRM is important to retain customers and also attract customers.
The aim of this study was to propose a Complaint Management System that could add more value to CRM in
businesses. The research employed the use of secondary data and telephone interview. The study showed that
there is a need to re-direct attention/focus in the area of complaint management, in order to facilitate and enhance
intelligence in business.
Keywords: Complaint Management, Customer Relation Management, Customers’ retention
1. Introduction
Empirical underpinnings have shown that Customer Relation Management (CMR) is an important tool in every
organization/industry. The act of incorporating CRM in any industry will help to add more value to such industry.
For any industry to progress effectively in this competitive age, industries need to be more customer-centric in
the sense that the sole priority should be customer’s satisfaction. This statement holds because if a customer is
satisfied with the level of services rendered to a particular firm, it informs less marketing effort with the aim of
winning more customers and retaining the firm.
CRM is a tool that has shown prospect even beyond customers’ retention to customers’ attraction. As a common
saying that ‘good products sells itself’, there is need for every industry or organisation to incorporate intelligence
in its dealing with their customers. The act of incorporating CRM gives intelligence to any business thereby
trying to gain adequate understanding of customers.
CRM is not a technological tool but rather can be seen as a strategic formulation of intelligence through bulk of
information gathered by a company about their customers. CRM majorly should be implemented for highly
prioritised customers whose transactions can be used to measure the level of profit for a company. CRM can be
attributed to BI because it is through some of the activities of the BI such as prediction/forecasting, etc. that
CRM can hold effectively. An aspect of CRM that appear to be ignored or un-noticed over the years is the idea of
complaint management. Complaint Management could be seen as an act of employing automated technicality in
the management of customers’ complaint that could arise as a result of the usage of products and services.
Complaint management is an aspect of CRM that should be given due attention. This is because, attention to this
aspect of CRM will not only retain customers but will also employ strategies towards building better products
and services.

Ngai, Xiu and Chau (2009), the research paper looked at the idea of data mining in Customer relationship
Management with the goal of tracing the mostly used data mining technique that has been applied in CRM for a
period of 5 years (2000-2006). Studies have shown that for a good customer relations management there is a
need for a system that encompasses or cut across the four major areas of good CRM such as customer
identification, customer attraction, and customer retention and customer development. Researchers so far, have
tried to address the major individually using one for technique or the other. The most widely used being the data
mining technique. Though this technique has been used to address some element of customer retention, less
attention has been given to a very vital element of customer retention known as complaint management. There is
need to implement a data mining technique that can be used to offer web services to customers in terms of
complaint management. The researchers also noted that, since the idea of integrating data mining techniques in
CRM, no academic research paper has done intensive review in the progress of the use of various data mining
techniques in CRM. Their paper went further to point out the most active used technique and also the ones that
have gotten less attention in application. The researchers adopted the survey methodology where 87 articles were
gotten from 7 different journal bodies. Also a classification method was embarked on, where the 87 articles were

classified in terms of CRM elements and data mining techniques. Their study showed that from the classification
framework, customer retention ranks the highest in terms of research attention while customer development
ranks the lowest. In terms of data mining technique usage, less attention has been paid to the use of data mining
technique to manage customers’ complaints.
Lin, Su and Chien (2006), the researchers opined that loss of good opportunities by any firms in order to serve
customers better may increase greater opportunity for competitors to increase their market share. They also went
on to argue that despite the high rate of CRM adoption by many firms, there has been a limited knowledge about
CRM and its importance. The main objective of their study was to propose a knowledge-enabled customer
relationship management and to show the various means by which the model can identify vital factors that will
be needed in order to improve a firm’s business. Thus their specific objectives were: to present a model that
shows the relationship among customer knowledge sources, customer knowledge management and customer
knowledge performance measurement; to carry out a comparative study of two of the selected case companies;
to show how the presented model can identify the important factors that have key impact on business
functionality in a specific setting. The study employed a case study and a structured questionnaire research. A
sampling size of 87 collectively from the case companies was selected. The researchers also made use of
ANOVA and Regression analysis tools for the comparative study and identification of the factors having the
most impact on business performance. This study showed that different companies have different requirements
for the knowledge customer relation management and each company has its own expectations to know how/why
KM can improve CRM.
Payne and Frow (2005), the authors argued that the concept, at which CRM has been addressed over the years,
has not been able to explore the real flavour of CRM. They asserted that CRM research should take more
strategic focus and also identified that most of the existing CRM framework were not based on a process-oriented
cross final conceptualization of CRM. Their main objective was to develop a conceptual framework for
customer relationship management that will help to expand the knowledge of what CRM is and how it can be
properly put in use in order to increase customer’s value as well as shareholder’s value. Thus their specific
objectives were: to figure out alternative views of CRM; to emphasise on the strategic approach of CRM; to
propose five key cross-functional processes that any organization can use to develop and deliver an effective
CRM strategy; to develop a process-based conceptual framework for CRM strategy development and to review
the role and components of each process. The researchers employed an interaction form of research where their
targeted audience were 34 highly experienced executives, 20executives working in CRM, marketing and IT
sections of companies, 6 6 executives from large CRM vendors and five executives from three CRM and
strategy consultancies. Also, individual and group discussions with CRM, Marketing and IT managers were held
together with 18 CRM vendors, analysts and their clients. Their study added to marketing literature through
resituating the poorly defined concepts of CRM in the literature and also stressing on the importance of cross-functional
processes in CRM strategy. Secondly, it provided a conceptual base framework for strategic CRM
whereby identifying the key elements with each process and finally provided values that added managerial
insight to strategic CRM.
Lin, Su, and Chien (2005) opined that through empirical prove that the availability of customers complaint
information and the effecting of such information by any firm, can add to customer retention, cost saving and
some other productivity related factors needed for that firm.
Huang, Kwan and Li (2003), the researchers argued that the lack of effective system to capture customer’s
information in terms of understanding and behavioural response may lead to great loss. The main objective of
their study was to propose a system that could be used to capture useful data from the web and also to analyse
customers’ behaviour. Thus the specific objectives were- to examine closely related studies on capturing and
generating meaningful customers’ information; to look at some marketing strategies that could be employed in
order to maintain a good customer relation. The researchers employed an empirical study of a a leading
computer game service company where the factors for their loss on investment were identified and used as basis
for a good CRM system. Their study proposed a system that will be able to manage customer relation in business
operation and also help website managers to turn raw facts into intelligent data.
Rygielski, Wang and Yen (2002), In most industries today, the idea to improve customers value through careful
analysis of customers lifestyle is the talk of the day. The researchers opined that CRM should not be presented to
be more applicable for managing relationships between business and consumers rather has value for business
customers. The main objective of their study was to interpret the concept of CRM and data mining thereby
exposing the relationship between them, the benefits and ways of implementation along with the limitations.
Their specific objectives were: to look at the concept of data mining and CRM; to look at the evolution,

attributes techniques and application areas of both concepts. The researchers employed a descriptive form of
research method where CRM and data mining were examined closely along with their application properties.
Their study concluded by ascertaining that data mining shows prospect to CRM and businesses that makes
effective use of customer data and resources stands the chance of becoming more successful.
Fornell and Wernerfelt (1988) defined complaint management as a system set up by a firm in order to have the
customer’s grievances resolved.
A customer complaint can be viewed as some form of dissatisfaction perceived from a customer against a
particular brand been purchased. Factors that can lead to customers’ grievances as indicated by (Fornell and
Wernerfelt, 1987) are ignorant, misunderstanding, inflated expectations and disagreements.
Fornell and Wernerfelt (1987), also added that additional customer entry to market; brand shifting or change of
patronage; customer market exit and changes in purchase frequency are the major determinants of growth,
stagnation and decline.
The researchers argued that marketing literature have focused mainly on obtaining additional customers;
encourage brand switching and increment in the purchase frequency. These forms of measures are offensive as
against defensive and very little work has been done on defensive marketing with the exception of work on
brand loyalty. Their main objective is to examine the interplay between offensive and defensive measure in such
a way that market share and profit cannot only be maintained but also increased. Thus the specific objectives
were: to highlight on the necessary assumption about customers dissatisfaction and future purchase behaviour; to
develop a model that will guide against customers migration to other firms. The researchers employed the use of
economic theory and forma analysis to demonstrate how defensive marketing can be used as a major determinant
of firm’s marketing success and major controller of offensive market. The researchers observed that they can
increase firm’s market share as well as reduce its expenditures for offensive market. Studies also have shown
that the two vital mechanism used by firms to detect failure are “exit and voice” (Reactive substances).
Fornell and Wernerfelt (1988), opined that most of the research works deals with attempts to discourage new
entry, thereby focusing essentially on competition. Thus, there is need to introduce a defensive approach
focusing on consumers. They also argued that successful marketing strategy demands for a blend of offense and
defence strategy but that very little research has addressed the problem of resource allocation between them.
The researchers also noted that complaint management system can affect sales in most ways like increase in
expected utility in expected utility of purchase, reduce buyer risk, can signal quality and can impact sales via
word of mouth. The main objective of their research was to analyse complaint processing as a defensive tool,
how it can be used to manage grievances from current customers in such that dissatisfied customers do not desert
the firm. The researchers employed the use of Hirschman’s exit-voice theory to show the aggregate market share
dynamics which the analysis could be used to show the trade-off between advertising and complaint
management. Their study/model showed that complaint management can be an effective tool for customer
retention.
It has been observed that recently proposed models on improving firm’s market using CRM, have down played
the major role of complaint management system. The introduction of e-commerce has improved transaction
where-by alleviating proximity challenges and slow transaction rate. Companies, firms and industries, need a
global system that can effectively manage customers’ grievances, take record of the frequency of each complains
while being able to place priority on the nature of complaints being received.
3. Methodology
This study employed survey methodology, where the researchers conducted interviews via telephone calls to
some selected firms/Institutions in Abia and Ogun State. Also, the study made use of secondary data and traced
the nature of publications on CRM from 2002 till date. In each year, the researchers selected at least one and
most effective in terms of the best suit to the direction of the study. This method also informed the related works
for the study and was also used as the basis for our conclusion.

4. Findings
In the course of this study, it was observed that:
· Less attention is being given to this aspect of CRM system (complaint management)
· Some of the Nigerian Firms and institutions does not really see the importance of attaching value to this
area of CRM
· Most current Literatures on CRM are three to four years back counting from the year 2013. This shows
that the rate of research in this direction is taking a slower rate due to less attention in this area.
5. Recommendation/Conclusion
Complaint management system is a great tool under CRM. This is because any firm or institution that has its
goal to be customer centric needs to employ a technique for customer’s retention. In addition, the researchers
proposed a process complaint management model that could be used to monitor customers complain and also
employing an immediate feedback response without the customer placing its action on “voice or exist” as a result
of grievance. (see figure1).
