This article mainly aims to verify the moderating role environmental turbulence plays on the relationship between customer relationship management and business performance. The research was performed based on the survey performed in Ghana telecommunication sector, and the sample included 579 staff from MTN Ghana, VODAFONE Ghana, ALTEL/TIGO Ghana, ESPRESSO Ghana and GLOBACOM Ghana. The statistical analysis of the obtained results was carried out using multiple linear regression analysis with STATA and AMOS statistical software package. The obtained results clearly show that all constructs of CRM namely information sharing, customer involvement, joint problem solving, long-term partnership and technology-based CRM have a significantly positive impact on business performance. The moderation analysis indicated that technological turbulence positively moderates the relationship that existed between the various constructs of customer relationship management and business performance indicating that technological turbulence significantly strengthens the relationship between these variables. On the contrary, market turbulence significantly weakens the relationship between the various customer relationship management constructs and business performance. These findings contribute immensely to literature and knowledge by indicating which moderating environmental turbulence significantly strengthens and weakens the existing relationship between customer relationship management and business performance within the Ghanaian telecommunication sector.

The paper discusses the problems of fading and ending of business relationships in the sphere of professional services i.e. the phase of a relationship dissolution resulting from a client's or a firm's decision to end it. This phase includes, among others, determining the causes of the relationship dissolution and drawing conclusions for the future in order to prevent losing the most lucrative clients. Both in theory and in practice, relationship ending is perceived as something stretched in time i.e. consisting of numerous stages and influenced by numerous factors and events.The aim of the present paper is an analysis of the modern literature on the causes and mechanisms of business relationships termination in the sphere of professional services as well as indicating some possibilities of a more effective and efficient management of these relations.

Developing relationships with customers through brand community is the recent tool for marketers for customer relationship management (CRM) program. The existence of a community, especially virtual, depends on the members’ participation as well as their recommendation to others. Previous studies indicate that members’ participation and recommendation depends on how deep is their identification toward the community. This article argues that social identification itself is not enough, unless the members engage in co-creation activities by exchanging knowledge with other members (co-consumption) and producers (co-production). Further, this article further argues that the effect of social identity on members’ co-creation and behavioral intentions will be moderated by their nostalgia proneness. We conducted survey among Volkswagen Indonesia CyberCommunity (VICC) members as one of the legendary brand in Indonesia. The results indicate that direct effect of social identity on members’ behavioral intentions is greater than indirect effect through co-creation. The moderating effect of nostalgia proneness is significant on the relationship between social identity and behavioral intentions, in which the effect is larger when members’ identification is low. Managerial and academic implications are further discussed in this paper.

To achieve this objective, a quantitative approach was utilized. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed where 243 questionnaires were returned, with 17 incomplete questionnaires being excluded, leaving 226 usable questionnaires.
