Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository.

I. INTRODUCTION
Customer relationship marketing is the determinant of the customer value creation but the fact is that these two
are different from each other. Customer relationship marketing has different determinants such as trust,
commitment, communication, promise, cooperation, power, empathy, rapport, duration of time and accuracy.
On the other hand, value creation has different components and value varies from person to person. There are
different types of customers such as knowing customers, suspicious customers, talkative customers, angry
customers. So creating value for all types of customers is a difficult task. Value can be determined as a
satisfaction that customers obtained from offer delivered (Tzokas, Seran, 1997). Sometimes customer
relationship marketing initiatives do not only fail to deliver profitable growth, but also had damaged long –
standing customer relationships (Bain,2001). The long term customer relationship and value creation of
customers is the need of any type of organization. In modern world customer relationship marketing is very
important to create value for the customers. Customer relationship marketing is concerned with the creation,
development and enhancement of the individualized and different customers groups for maximizing life time
value of the customers.It’s just about maintaining long term relationship with customer. The main goal of
customer relationship marketing is to build long term relationships with customers and convert indifferent
customers into loyal ones (Berry and Parasurarnan, 1991). On the other hand value creation simply means the
ability of any organization to satisfy the needs of the customer on comparatively lower cost at higher benefit
than that offered by competitors. Customer value comprises of three key dimensions; self-oriented, reactive and
extrinsic (Holbrook 1996). Customer value is the overall benefits derived from products but according to
customer prospective, it is the price customer is willing to pay for the product. Nowadays different mobile
service companies operate in Pakistan such as Ufone, Mobilink, Zong, Telenor and Warid. We selected Sialkot
district for the study because it is considered as export Hub of Pakistan. These companies used different
techniques to attract the customer and to maintain long term relationship. The basic aim of present study is to
check the impact of customer relationship marketing on customer value of mobile service providing companies
in Sialkot district.
Building the Base for Argument and Hypotheses Development
Customer relationship marketing and customer value creation are interrelated with each other. The basic and
core concept of customer relationship marketing is Value. The ability to provide superior value to customers is a
prerequisite when organizations try to establish and maintain long‐term customer relationships. From a
relationship perspective providing value to the customer, establish and maintain mutually profitable customer
relationships is of prime concern in relationship marketing (Ravald&Grönroos, 1996). Customer relationship

marketing aims to provide unique value to customers in chosen markets. The purpose of business is to create
and keep customers according to customer relationship marketing perspective (Ballantyne et al. 1991).
Customer Value can be delivered if the organization focuses on customer needs (Aila et al. 2012). Setiowati&
Putri, (2012) indicated customerperceived value as one of the indicators for customer loyalty that leads to
customer recommendation and repurchase. Traditionally, marketing activities had focused on success in the
product marketplace by examining the physical aspects of products and services such as quantity, quality,
functionality, availability, accessibility, delivery, price and customer support. Now recently, marketing
managers have shifted their emphasis to create value for their customers (Clutterbuck &Goldsmith, 1998;
McAlexander et al., 2002, Mascarenhas, et al. 2006). “Trust is when one side relies on creditworthiness and
integrity of the other side” (Morgan & Hunt 1994). Morgan and Hunt referred to necessity of trust in forming a
relationship commitment among customers and organizations. Trust is an important and necessary thing for a
strong relationship and contributes to relationship performance (Anderson and Narus, 1990; Narayan das
and Rangan, 2004). Trust can also be defined as “a willingness to rely on an exchange partneron which one has
confidence” (Moorman 1993). Commitment can be defined as “Psychological feeling of the mindin which
the formation ofa position on the continuation of a relationship with a commercial partner(Rauyruen and Miller
2007). Relationships built on the foundation of mutual commitment and this commitment level is found to be
the strongest predictor of the voluntary decision to pursue a relationship (Ibrahim & Najjar 2008). Commitment
can also conceptualize as “a force that binds an individual to continue to purchase services” (Bansal et al. 2005)
Affective commitment has a greater impact on loyalty than calculative commitment (Norman W. Marshall and
Nova 2010). Commitment is former or antecedent both to customer retention and customer share development
(Verhoef 2003). Higher levels of trust and commitment are related to higher levels of customer retention and
this could result in higher organizational profitability (Morgan and Hunt 1994).
Communication can be linked with commitment in channel relationships and industrial markets (Mohr et al.
1996).Communication is “defined broadly as the formal as well as informal sharing of meaningful and
timely information between firms and their customers” (Anderson and Narus 1990). Allert and Chatterjee
(1997) showed that the communication culture promoted by leadership tends to facilitate nurturing trust based
mutual relationships. Huang et al (2008) investigated the role of the communication in trust formation between
boundary spanning individuals from different organizations. It was revealed that face-to-face communication
has more comprehensive impact in terms of facilitating the interpersonal trust building mechanisms.
Communication strengthens relationship and influences trust and commitment (Anderson and Narus, 1990).
The concept of Promise originates on providing the customer with assurance of quality of products and services
(Sheth et al. 1995). Calonius (1984) defined promise as: A more or less explicitly expressed conditional
declaration or assurance made to another party, or to oneself, with respect to the future, stating that one will do
or refrain from specific act (cited by Calonius, 2006). According to service provider’s point of view:
Establishing a relationship means giving promises, maintaining a relationship is based on fulfillment of
promises and enhancing a relationship means new set of promises with the fulfillment of early promises
(Groonros 1990). A promise starts from organisation’s vision, it is developed over time and it must be
something that most of the employees believe (Gronstedt and Schultz, 2001).
Cooperation is defined as actions performed to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes between the organisations
or independent singular outcomes with the expectation of interchange over time (Anderson and Narus, 1990).
Morgan and Hunt (1994) explored that higher level of commitment and trust ultimately leads to cooperation.
Firms meeting or exceeding performance objectives through cooperation with other firms (partners) build trust
and satisfaction (Anderson and Narus 1990).Power means the ability of one channel member to induce
another channel member to change its behavior in favor of the objective of the channel member
exerting influence (Wilemon 1972). Power is also defined as the ability of a channel member to control the
decision variables in the marketing strategy of another member in the given channel at different levels of
distribution (El-Ansary and Stern, 1972).
Duration of relationship is thought to affect the ongoing relationship dynamics including trust,
commitment and satisfaction (Gruen, 2000). Long-term satisfied customers perceived additional social
benefits and are thought to be more loyal to sales people as well as to the firm it (Reynolds and Beatty
1999).Rapport is the relations hipor chemistry between customers and suppliers to help develop trust between
buyers and sellers, also positively affect the dynamics of the ongoing relationship between individuals and
companies (Doney and Cannon, 1997). Dependency within a relationship is related to the relative power
and therefore the extent one party depends on (or must trust) the other party (Anderson and Narus, 1990).
Relationships with greater interdependence have higher trust, stronger commitment, and lower conflict
than relationships with lower interdependence Kumar et al.1995). Similarly Geyskens (1996) explored that
interdependence enhances commitment, but that the type of commitment will depend on trust.
Empathy can be described as the ability to share, understand and feel another person’s feelings in a
relational situation. Sin (2002) described empathy as dealing with a business relationship that allowed two

parties to see the situation from the other’s point of view. It enabled us to understand desires and goals of others.
Empathy helps to create unique, sustainable customer relationships that are difficult for its competitors to
replicate. Sellers always invest in building relationships with customers because of their expectation that these
efforts will increase customers’ contributions to the seller’s sales and profits. It will increase the overall value of
customers to the seller. In short, Customer Value is the utility the customer provides the selling firm (Berger et
al. 2002). Customer value is similar to characteristics of particular offering and signifies the trade –off between
benefits received and sacrifices made by a customer (Ulaga and Eggert, 2005).
There is a significant effect of different marketing strategies on customer loyalty, when they adopted by
companies they can increase there organization’s customer loyalty (NealsonOly, 2007). Customer loyalty and
satisfaction has great impact on profitability of company. Therefore for stay in market there should be need of
customer loyalty and a satisfied customer will be loyal to organization. Increase in loyalty can increase the
profitability dramatically (Roger Hallowell, 1996).Quality , value and Satisfaction are major determinant of
customer loyalty because customer experience can cause customer loyalty that’s why organization operate CRM
for make their customer satisfied and give them maximum quality and Value to capture their loyalty (Martina
Donnelly,2009)
