Customer relationship management (CRM) and variety-seeking behaviour (VSB) are paradoxical constructs due to their contradictory intentions. CRM is implemented by organizations to retain customers and generate loyalty while VSB by customers can result in switching. This study addresses the question ‘what is the impact of VSB on the relationship between CRM and its outcomes: repeat visitation and positive word of mouth?’ Following analysis of 400 questionnaire responses from Australian leisure travellers who have visited the same international destination two or more times, the findings indicate that CRM leads to word-of-mouth recommendations, but not repeat visitation. Through multi-group moderation analysis, it was further identified that the outcomes of CRM do not vary based on the degree of VSB of travellers, and CRM leading to repeat visitation is fully mediated by the intrinsic factors affecting VSB, while CRM does have a significant influence on VSB.

Customer relationship management (CRM) is a strategy that integrates concepts of knowledge management, data mining, and data warehousing in order to support an organization’s decision-making process to retain long-term and profitable relationships with its customers. Key factors for successfully implementing CRM (e.g., data quality issues, organizational readiness, customer strategies, selection of appropriate KPIs, and the design of the data warehouse model) are discussed with the main thrust of the chapter focusing on CRM analyses and the impact of those analyses on CRM data warehousing design decisions. This chapter then presents a robust multidimensional starter model that supports CRM analyses. Additional research contributions include the introduction of two new measures, percent success ratio and CRM suitability ratio by which CRM models can be evaluated, the identification/ classification of CRM queries, and a preliminary heuristic for designing data warehouses to support CRM analyses.

In today's world of heightened competition and ever-growing demand of customers, the development of customer-centric and learning-oriented culture, mass customization capability (MCC), and effective implementation of customer relationship management (CRM) are important determinants of success, but the existing research has largely overlooked how these factors interact and affect firm performance (FP). To address the gap, the present study proposes and empirically examines a framework that relates CRM and organizational culture (OC) to MCC and FP. Based on the data collected through a questionnaire-based survey of Indian manufacturing organizations, the proposed framework and associated hypotheses are empirically examined by using structural equation modelling based on partial least squares (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that the extent of effort employed by the firms to implement CRM and development of learning-oriented OC positively affects FP. Furthermore, MCC and OC have significant indirect impact on the relationship between CRM and FP.

Congruity of brand and individual values is the degree of fit or similarity between consumers' personal values and the perceived values of a certain brand. In this study, we took Huawei as the test brand and investigated 525 consumers in 30 countries to examine whether congruity of brand and individual values influences consumer word-of-mouth communication in an international context. The results show that (a) brand commitment played a mediating role in the effect of brand–individual values congruity on word of mouth, (b) the consistency of a brand's practices and its values (brand behavior congruity) moderated the relationship between brand–individual values congruity and the consumers' brand commitment, and (c) brand behavior congruity moderated the mediating role of brand commitment in the relationship between values congruity and positive word of mouth. Our findings provide insight into the impact of values congruity for consumers.
