This document discusses relationship marketing and its impact on organizational performance. It explores the theoretical foundations of relationship marketing and examines how adopting this concept affects performance indicators. Relationship marketing focuses on creating and sustaining long-term relationships with customers through mutual cooperation rather than short-term transactions. When organizations implement relationship marketing successfully through internal marketing and keeping promises to customers, it can lead to improved customer loyalty, retention and positive word-of-mouth, ultimately improving organizational performance. Interactive marketing and developing trust, empathy and reciprocity in customer relationships are important aspects of relationship marketing discussed in the document.

The Effect of Relationship Quality on Customer Advocacy: The Mediating Role o...IOSR Journals
Â
Advocacy is a strategic choice for companies responding to the new reality that customers power increased. Potential customers see information from peers or even strangers as less biased and reliable than those of an economic entity. Thus, the information conveyed by a satisfied customer is more believable than that delivered by the business entity. Customer advocacy is very important in the company's efforts to get new customers. Based on social exchange theory, advocacy can be generated from the satisfaction, trust, commitment and loyalty. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of satisfaction, trust and commitment to loyalty and its impact on customer advocacy. The hypotheses were tested with structural equation modeling using survey data from 178 customers of a commercial bank in Indonesia. Satisfaction and commitment have direct effect on advocacy, but trust hasnât. Loyalty mediates the relationship between trust and advocacy, while commitment has the greatest effect on advocacy. Findings hold implications for future research as well as for managerial practice

A Review on the Formation and Development of the Relationship Marketing TheoryCSCJournals
Â
Relationship marketing has become an important marketing mix and won great attention from both academia and industry. In this paper, a comprehensive review of previous studies has been conducted from the theoretic perspective. Based on literature, existing relationship marketing studies are divided into two stages, the formation stage and the development stage, after investigating the four key aspects (industries, types, contents and applications). An integrated research framework for relationship marketing is then established, incorporating both transaction marketing and relationship marketing. The framework indicates that transaction and relationship marketing work collaboratively, and are even able to transfer a possible customer to a partner. Finally, the potential topics for further theoretical research are proposed.

Â
This study sought to empirically examine the influence of social bonds on customer value in commercial banks in Kenya. The social bonds examined in this study are communication with customers (CC), creation of friendship (CF) and social support (SS). The study sample consists of 384 respondents with a response rate of 78.1 per cent. Data was analyzed by employing correlation and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that social bonds are positively associated with customer value in commercial banks in Kenya. The generalization of the findings is limited as the study focused only on a single industry in Kenya. Based on the findings, companies employing social bonds strategies should focus on improving the usefulness of the social bonds to customers by creating opportunities to strengthen social relationships. This study successfully extends the relationship marketing strategies in the context of customer value by incorporating communication with customers, creation of friendship and social support constructs. This extended relationship marketing model is developed to achieve the greater understanding of customer acceptance of social bonding strategy in Kenyaâs commercial banks. In conclusion, the model in this study presents a considerable improvement in explanatory power.

www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares.

Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Abstract
Purpose- This paper aims at exploring the theoretical foundations of relationship
marketing concept and examining the effect of utilizing and adopting this concept on
organizational performance indicators from the perspective of several high educational
institutions experts and academic staff.
Design/methodology/approach- Despite the recent popularity of research into relationship
marketing, there is still some confusion surrounding the concept of and how it differs both
from non relationship marketing and from other ways of managing marketing relationships.
Acquiring new customers and retaining existing customers is another key goal for
relationship marketing.
Findings - This paper finds that there is a positive relationship between relationship
marketing concept and organizational performance indicators, relying on successful
relationship is the two-way flow of value.
Originality/value - For academicians and marketing professionals, the study provides a
practical insight into the changes in marketing paradigms, an alternate paradigm of
marketing need to be developed that is more process rather than outcome oriented and
emphasize value creation rather than value distribution.
Keywords: Relationship marketing; Interactive marketing, Value creation rather than
value distribution, Partnership and strategic alliances.
1. Introduction
This paper works from the premise "that the real purpose of business is to create and sustain mutually
beneficial relationships, especially with selected customers. With the main proposition which assume
that successful relationships is the two-way flow of value (Christopher, M., et, al. 2002). Relationship
marketing is consider a true balance between "giving and getting" as a key benefit to encourage an
active role and is conductive in delivering two- way value, where loyalty is based on trust and
partnership, will prove to be one of the most significant policies to be pursued in development and
sustenance of competitive advantage (Ismail, Sh. T. 2009, Gronroos, Ch. 1994).
Relationship marketing usually results in strong economic, technical and social ties among the
stakeholders parties thereby reducing their transactions costs and increasing exchange efficiencies
included in relationship marketing which are not only buyers / sellers exchanges but also business
partnerships, strategic alliances, and cooperative marketing networks. The relationship typically
involves seller- customer exchange, but it could involve any stakeholder's relationship (Morgan and
Hunt, 1994, Gronroos, Ch. 1994).
545
2. European Journal of Social Sciences â Volume 12, Number 4(2010)
Marketing as a distinct discipline was born out of economics around the beginning of this
century. As the discipline gained momentum, and developed through the first three quarters of the
twentieth century, the primary focus was on transactions and exchanges. However, the development of
marketing as a field of study and practice is undergoing reconceptualization in its orientation from
transactions to relationships (Kotler and Armstrong, 2008, Gronroos, Ch. 1994).. The emphasis on
relationships as opposed to transaction based exchanges is very likely to redefine the domain of
marketing.
All relationship marketing activities are ultimately evaluated in the basis of company's overall
profitability as a key relationship marketing outcomes: customer loyalty and positive customer word -
of âmouth communication (Thurau, Th, He, et, al. 2002).
2. Theoretical Background
Jobber and Fahy (2006) mentioned that the relationship marketing is the process of creating,
developing and enhancing relationship with customers and other stakeholders. Relationship marketing
refers to the development, growth, maintenance of long- term, cost- effective exchange relationship
with individual customers, suppliers, employees, and other partner for mutual benefit (Boone and
Kurtz, 2007). Developing excellent service quality creates the opportunity to build an on going
relationship with customers. The idea of relationship can apply to many industries. It is particularly
important in services since there is often direct contact between service provider and customers. The
quality of relationship that develops will often determine its length.
Every marketing transaction involves a relationship between the buyer and seller in a
transaction-based situation, the relationship may be quite short in duration and narrow in scope. The
customer-seller bonds developed in a relationship marketing situation, on the other hand, last longer
and cover a much broader scope than those developed in transaction marketing. Customer contacts are
more frequent, a company emphasis on customer service contributes to consumer satisfaction.
(Armstrong and Kotler, 2007).
When a company integrates customer service and quality with marketing, the result is a
relationship marketing orientation. Relationship marketing creates a new level of interaction between
buyers and sellers. Rather than focusing exclusively on attracting new customers, marketers have
discovered that it pays to retain current customers.
2.1. Interactive Marketing
Interactive marketing refers to buyers- seller communications in which the consumer controls the
amount and type of information received from a marketer. Interactive techniques have been used for
more than a decade; point-of-sales brochures and coupon dispensers are a simple form of interactive
advertising. Today, however, the term also includes two-way electronic communication using a variety
of media such as the internet, CD-ROMS, and virtual reality kiosks (Boone and Kurtz, 2007).
Interactive marketing frees communication between marketers and their customers from the
limits of the traditional, linear, one way message to passive customers using broadcast or print ads.
Now customers come to companies for information, creating opportunities for one-to-one marketing.
For example, each customer who visits a Web site has a different experience, based on the pathway of
links he or she chooses to follow. These electronic conversations establish innovative relationships
between users and the technology, providing customized information based on users interests and
levels of understanding. People gain access to chosen programs and services via their personal
computers and telephones, and they can purchase products not only from stores but also via television
or the internet. (Miller, et, al. 2002).
The study of Varey and Ballantyne (2005), titled 'Relationship marketing and the challenge of
dialogical interaction', the authors make the distinction between three types of interaction,
informational, communicational and dialogical, and argue that dialogical communication between
546
3. European Journal of Social Sciences â Volume 12, Number 4 (2010)
marketers and stakeholders is necessary for an organization to be an 'innovative social and economic
contributor'. The authors explain that dialogical interaction refers to an 'extended conversation among
two or more people' - in essence the basis for a relationship that involves both parties learning together.
Yet in today's high tech world where managers are removed from any contact with their customers, the
way such dialogues can occur are much different from the approaches used in traditional markets
where the seller of a product interacts directly with the customer. Therefore, it is argued, managers
need to make an effort to develop dialogical inquiry which can inform them and allow them to reflect
on their past behaviors and consequences. This believes will lead to a greater understanding of each
participant's point of view and lead to the establishment of further and deeper relationships.
2.1.1. Buyer-Seller Relationship
Relationship marketing depend on the development of close ties between the buyer, whether an
individual or company and seller. This tie considers as the core elements of the buyer-seller
relationship; the three promises that form the basis of relationship marketing and the four dimensions
of relationship marketing model (Boone & Kurtz, 2007, Gronroos, Ch. 1994).).
Relationships MKG is based on promises from organizations that go beyond obvious assurance
that potential customer expect. Asset of promises- out side the organization, within the organization
and between buyers and sellers interaction- determine whether a marketing encounter will be positive
or negative buyer-seller relationship.
Relationship marketing has seen a number of developments since the early work of Christopher
M. et al. (2002), most notably the development of terms and processes that have been used to
demonstrate the adoption of the new paradigm. It is the automation of processes that has driven
practitioners with 'Customer Relationship Management Programs' that enable data collection, analysis
and communication of tailored messages to the most promising prospects as the focus of activity.
2.1.1.1. Making Promises
Most firms makes promises to potential customers through external marketing, directs toward
customers, suppliers, and other parties outside the organization. The promises communicate what a
customer can expect from the firm's goods and service. The promises must be both realistic and
consistent with one another. A firm that makes unrealistic promises cans a disappointed customer who
may not buy the good or service again, (Zeithmal, V. et al. 2006, Boone and Kurtz, 2007),)
2.1.1.2. Enabling Promises
A company can follow through on its promises to potential customers through external marketing only
if it enables these promises through internal marketing. Internal marketing includes recruiting talented
employees and providing them with tools, training, and motivation they need to do their job effectively
(Boone and Kurtz, 2007).
2.1.1.3. Keeping Promises
Every customer interaction with a business reaches the moment of truth when a good or service is
provided to the customer. Buyer-seller relationship following external and internal marketing, defines
the point at which a company keeps its promises (Zeithmal, V. et al. 2006)
2.1.2. Dimensions of Relationship Marketing
Clearly, making, enabling, and keeping promises are crucial parts of relationship marketing process,
but developing relationships require more than promises. All relationships depend on the development
of emotional links between the parties. There are four key dimensions of relationship marketing:
bonding, empathy, reciprocity, trust and tangibility (Chris and Graham, 2007).
547
4. European Journal of Social Sciences â Volume 12, Number 4(2010)
2.1.2.1. Bonding
Two parties must bond together in order to develop a long- strong relationship. Stronger bonds increase
each party's commitment to the relationship (Jobber and Fahy, 2006)
2.1.2.2. Empathy
The ability to see situations from the perspective of the other party- is another key emotional link in the
development of relationships (Chris and Graham, 2007)
2.1.2.3. Tangibility
The physical facilities, equipment and appearance of personnel (Lovelock and Wirtz, 2006)
2.1.2.4. Reciprocity
Every long-term relationship includes some give-and-take between the parties; one make allowances
and grants favors to the other in exchange for the same treatment when its owned need arises (Chris
and Graham, 2007).
2.1.2.5. Trust
Trust is ultimately the glue that holds a relationship together over the long haul. Trust reflects the
extent of one party's confidence in another party's integrity. When parties follow through on
commitments, they enhance trust and strengthen relationships. Stronger trust leads to more cooperation
between parties in a relationship (Chris and Graham, 2007)
2.2. Creating Value
Marketing has progressed from a simplistic focus on "giving the customer what they want to a pan-
company orientation in which the specific capabilities of the business are focused around creating and
delivering customer value to the target market segment. A Key role of marketing in this new
framework is to determine what value proposition to create and deliver to which customer. (Zeithaml
V. et al. 2006).
2.2.1. Axioms and Purpose of Relationship Marketing
Relationship marketing attempts to involve and integrate customers, suppliers and other infrastructural
partners into a firm's developmental and marketing activities such involvement results in close
interactive relationships with suppliers, customers or other value chain partners of the firm. Interactive
relationships between marketing actors are inherent as compared to the arm's length relationships
implied under the transactional orientation. This emphasizes cooperation rather than competition and
consequent conflict among the marketing actors. Thus, development of relationship marketing points to
a significant shift in the axioms of marketing competition and conflict to mutual cooperation. (Peck, H.
et al. 2000)
2.2.1.1. The First Axiom
Of transactional marketing is the belief that competition and self-interest are the drivers of value
creation. Through competition, buyers can be offered a choice, and this choice of suppliers motivates
marketers to create a higher value offering for their self-interest. This axiom of competition is now
challenged by the proponents of relationship marketing who believe that mutual cooperation, as
opposed to competition and conflict, leads to higher value creation, In fact, some social psychologists
have gone so far as to suggest that competition is inherently destructive and mutual cooperation
inherently more productive (Shoham et al. 2005, Morgan, et, al,. 1994).
548
5. European Journal of Social Sciences â Volume 12, Number 4 (2010)
2.2.1.2. The Second Axiom
Of transactions marketing is the belief that independence of choice among marketing actors creates a
more efficient system for creating and distributing marketing value. Maintaining an âarmâs length
relationshipâ is considered vital for marketing efficiency. Industrial organizations and government
policy makers believe that independence of marketing actors provide each actor freedom to choose
his/her transactional partners on the basis of preserving their own self-interests at each decision point.
This results in the efficiency of lowest cost purchases through bargaining and bidding. However, this
belief is also challenged recently in economics (Agarwal & Eramilli, 2003, Morgan, et, al,. 1994).).
The purpose of relationship marketing is, therefore, to enhance marketing productivity by
achieving efficiency and effectiveness (Gronroos, Ch. 1994). Several relationship marketing practices
can help achieve efficiency, such as customer retention, efficient consumer response and the sharing of
resources between marketing partners. Each of these activities has the potential to reduce operating
costs of the marketer(Gronroos, Ch. 1994). Similarly, greater marketing effectiveness can be achieved
because it attempts to involve customers in the early stages of marketing program development,
facilitating the future marketing efforts of the company. Also, through individualized marketing and
adoption of mass customization processes, relationship marketers can better address the needs of each
selected customer, making marketing more effective (Kim, Y. 2003).
2.2.2. Customer Loyalty
The relationship marketing ladder of loyalty, most companies direct the greater part of their marketing
activity at wining new customers. But while businesses need new customers, they must also ensure that
they are directing enough of their marketing effort at existing customers. So we can describe
relationship marketing as a ladder-hierarchy of loyalty (Christopher M. et al. 2002). Loyal customers
(moving from new customers to regular purchasers then to loyal supporter.
In 1994 Gummesson defined relationship marketing as âa process, a chain of activities. It
represents a holistic attitude to marketingâ and thus reflected the shift from transactional aspects of
doing business with a customer to relational aspects. The development of these relational aspects
indicates the importance attached to the duration of the relationship, i.e. the longer the relationship
lasts, the more profitable it becomes. To manage a relationship successfully over time necessitates
proficiency in terms of process management, i.e. organizing your company in an efficient manner so
that the customer's needs and wants can be satisfied in an effective way over time. Thus process
management should offer the possibility of moving a transactional customer up the loyalty ladder
(Payne, A., et al, 1997) to become a repeat buyer i.e. a loyal customer.
There is a plethora of tools to aid loyalty management. Reicheld, (1994), refers to measurement
systems, customer targeting based on lifetime value, and defection analysis and value proposition
renewal. Payne, et, al. (1997) emphasize the importance of measuring, arguing that what gets
measured, or lends itself to measurement, is likely to be implemented.
Darryn, M. et al. (2006), mapping the re-engagement of CRM with relationship marketing, they aims to
reframe and enhance the relationship marketing literature through advocating an emphasis on process
and a renewed commitment to social and informational exchanges. It takes as its starting-point the
recognition that customers exist in complex dynamic systems in which they enact multiple roles.
However, current implementations of customer relationship management (CRM) typically only view
customers through a single lens (as customers) that denies firms a holistic view of those with whom
they interact. Moreover, CRM systems typically embed and script actions (i.e. call centre options,
offers driven by cross-selling and segmentation) rather than enabling rich communication and
facilitating appropriate responses that emerge from that communication (Gronroos, Ch. 1994).. It is
argued here that, as a consequence, both parties to a relationship need to negotiate the nature of
systems that connect them, because those systems, in part, determine the content of relationship
exchanges.

Bejou and Palmer (2005) make a concerted attempt to stretch our thinking about the future
direction relationship marketing can take more than a decade on from the early writings. The content is
based on a colloquium in relationship marketing held at Cheltenham, UK and the manuscript is co-
published simultaneously as volume four of the Journal of Relationship Marketing. A set of six papers
cover the topics of communication, justice theory, word-of-mouth, organizational theory, CRM
implementation and verbal behavior in negotiations. A seventh paper by the editors introduces the
issues addressed by the papers. Combined they present alternative approaches to thinking about an
organization's relationship with its customers or stakeholders that can guide future research in
relationship marketing.
Woratschek and Horbel (2005) play devil's advocate by asking why we should bother trying to
satisfy variety seekers given that they are unlikely to become loyal customers. They use the example of
a tourist destination that has low repeat custom because it attracts passing tourists rather than having a
base of local residents. This situation is common for many tourist destinations and could also apply to
irregularly purchased products and services as well. They present reports a link between customer
satisfaction and the level of word of mouth recommendation by visitors, indicating that a satisfied
infrequent visitor will deliver business through word of mouth communications (Thurau, Th, He, et, al.
2002). These findings challenge managers' approaches to viewing variety-seeking behavior and a
number of practical recommendations are made by the authors.
2.3. Partnership and strategic alliances
Partnering with others, more companies today are partnering with other members of the supply chain to
improve the performance of the customer value-delivery network. For example, Toyota knows the
importance of building close relationships with it suppliers. In fact, it even includes the phrase "achieve
supplier satisfaction" in its mission statement. Suppliers' satisfaction means that they can rely on
suppliers to help it to improve its own quality, reduce cost, and develop new products quickly
(Christopher M. et al. 2002).
Another form of Partnership and strategic alliances are the "suppliers" and "alliance" markets
they both need to be viewed as a partnership âthey can make to the establishment of a successful
relationship marketing strategy. In the mid-1980s, the Austin Rover car manufacturing company had
well over 1000 suppliers with whom it had arm's-length, often adversarial, relationships. Ten years
later a transformed company now called the Rover group, had fewer than 500 preferred suppliers with
whom it had the closest possible relationships (Peck H. et al. 2000).
The study of Leo Y. M. et al. (2002), concludes that there is a positive association between
relationship marketing orientation (RMO) and business performance, a valid measure of RMO has not
yet been proposed and systematic analysis of its effect on business performance has thus far not been
possible. This paper addresses some conceptual and measurement issues related to the study of RMO
and its impact on business performance in a service context. It first reviews the concept of RMO and
its important dimensions. Next, a measurement scale with acceptable reliability and validity is
developed to capture the dimensions of RMO. In turn, analysis of data shows that RMO is positively
and significantly associated with sales growth, customer retention, market share, ROI, and overall
performance.
The other paper explores relationship marketing from a management philosophy perspective.
Pels and Saren (2005) discuss the influence of positivistic and interpretative approaches to strategy,
organizational theory and marketing by reviewing the philosophies that have dominated these topics
and how they have changed. They conclude that a pluralistic approach now needs to be taken that
accepts the co-existence of multiple approaches. The reader is left with the challenge to solve the
resultant problem of how multiple paradigms can coexist in the same firm. Henneberg (2005) provides
a practitioner oriented article by examining the opportunities for future research in customer
relationship management implementation models. The paper provides managers with direction for the
implementation of a CRM program, although the failure of many current programs and very high
550
7. European Journal of Social Sciences â Volume 12, Number 4 (2010)
dissatisfaction levels with such programs (reported as 52% in the study) may mean that the CRM
models may quickly become obsolete as managers move on to more rewarding activities.
3. Research Objectives
This study attempts to explore the extent to which the concept of relationship marketing clearly
understood and adopted by Jordanian private universities. This study is cause and effects in nature and
seeks to answer the following research questions:
To what extent is the concept of; interactive marketing, Value creation rather than value
distribution, and "Partnership and Strategic Alliances"? Are understood and adopted by these
universities. And to measure its effect on an organizational performance indicator as Increasing market
Share, Retaining current customers. Attracting new customers. Creating loyal customers. Increasing
profit, Increasing return on investment, Positive image.
4. Significant of the Study
The study is expected to make recommendations to high educational institutions managers on the
critical role of marketing relationship in doing their business, particularly in highly competitive market
as a Jordanian educational market, which consider a profitable market.

7.2. Data Collection
The data collected through pre- designed questionnaire which was directed to the academic people in
each university. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the required data from the
sample of the study. Using the drop and collect method, the researchers delivered 19 questionnaires to
the academic people in each university and then collected it within 14 days. The highly controlled data
collection procedures ensured 88 % response rate.
7.3. The Research Tool
The require data was collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire, which was developed for
this purpose. The questionnaire was validated through a mini survey of academics and experts. Their
opinions and comments were considered in the final version of the questionnaire. The author excludes
these questionnaires from the final analysis
7.4. Reliability test
The reliability correlation was examined by Cronbach alpha and found 0.959 which is considered
acceptable for this research. Because it is more than accepted value (0.60). (Malhotra, N. K. 2007)

9. Conclusion and Recommendation
9.1. Conclusion
Depend on above display for the result of this study which aims at investigates the relationship
marketing concept and its effects on an organizational performance indicator, the summary concludes:
Positive relationship between relationship marketing and organizational performance indicators. These
results agreed with the ideas represented by various authors in the theoretical background to prove that
the relationship marketing refers to long-term and mutually beneficial arrangement wherein both buyer
and seller focus on value enhancement through the certain of more satisfying exchange (Gronroos, Ch.
1994). So relationship marketing can be applied: when there are competitive service alternatives for
customers to choose from; and when there is an ongoing and periodic desire for the service.
Relationship marketing is one of the most time-consuming, but most effective strategies for
marketing extension programs. Relationship marketing is a process, not a one-time event; clients must
understand that you are committed long-term and that they can depend on you to provide the services
required.
To be effective, you must establish a relationship with the customers (students and
stakeholders) you are targeting by making a connection with them over time. In order to build a
relationship, as with any other relationship in life, Extension needs to be constantly in touch with its
customers. By making a connection with diverse customers.
Utilizing Relationship marketing; Interactive marketing, Value creation rather than value
distribution, Partnership and Strategic Alliances: Creates value; Value creation generates the energy
554
11. European Journal of Social Sciences â Volume 12, Number 4 (2010)
that holds these institutions together, and their very existence depends on it. The physics that governs
the interrelationships and energy states of institution systemsâ elementary particles - its customers,
employees, and investors - can be called âthe forces of loyaltyâ. Because of the links between loyalty,
value, and profits, these forces are measurable in cash flow terms (Thurau, Th, He, et, al. 2002,
Christopher M. et al. 2002, Boone and Kurtz, 2007). Loyalty is inextricably linked to the creation of
value as both a cause and an effect. As an effect, loyalty reliably measures whether or not the
university has delivered superior value: Customers either come back for more or they go elsewhere.
The key feature of institution success is the development of mutually beneficial relationships
(Christopher M. et al. 2002).. The result is agreed with the fact that relationships are two way and
indeed, should be mutually beneficial (Gronroos, Chr. 1994). as mentioned through introduction and
theoretical background. The assumption is that a satisfied customer equates to a loyal customer and
that a loyal customer implies a relationship (Thurau, Th, He, et, al. 2002).
The main findings show that there is an imbalance between âgiving and gettingâ that âwhen
educational institutions ask their customers for friendship, loyalty and respect, they often donât give
these in return, despite adopting the concept of relationship marketing.
9.2.Recommendation
As a cause, loyalty initiates a series of economic effects that cascade through the educational
institutions, as follows:
9.2.1) Revenues and market share grow as the best customers are swept into the educational
institutions, building loyal customers, positive word of mouth and referrals (Thurau, Th,
He, et, al. 2002). Because the institutionâs value proposition is strong, it can afford to be
more selective in new customer acquisition and to concentrate its investment on the most
profitable and potentially loyal prospects, further stimulating sustainable growth
(Gronroos, Ch. 1994)..
9.2.2) Sustainable growth enables the educational institution to attract and retain the best
employees. Consistent delivery of superior value to customers increases employeeâ loyalty
by giving them pride and satisfaction in their work. Furthermore, as long-term employees
get to know their long-term customers to connect with them, they learn how to deliver still
more value, which further reinforces both customer and employee loyalty.
9.2.3) Loyal long-term employees learn on the job how to reduce costs and improve quality,
which further enriches the customer value proposition and generates superior productivity.
The educational institutions can then use this productivity surplus to fund superior
compensation and better tools and training, which further reinforce employee productivity,
compensation growth, and loyalty (Gummesson, 1994) .
9.2.4) Spiraling productivity coupled with the increased efficiency of dealing with loyal
customers generates the kind of cost advantage that is very difficult for competitors to
match. Sustainable cost advantage coupled with steady growth in the number of loyal
customer (Gummesson, 1994, Gronroos, Ch, 1994).
10. Areas For Further Research
Future researchers may wish to explore moderating relationship of consumer relational preferences.
Another limitation is that the cross-sectional nature of the data only allows for co relational, rather than
causal, inferences to be made. The possibility exists for a path to be operating in the opposite direction
from what we propose. Another potentially fruitful area for future research is delineating among the
different types of special treatment benefits explored in this study. Perhaps some special treatment
benefits are more relevant than others with respect to their impact on an organizational performance
indicator
