There are companies in the fashion sector that sell clothing for both women and men at affordable prices and quality. Currently, there are many competitors everywhere, especially in the Cimahi City area. The current SR Fashion Store boutique has a target of increasing the number of customers and retaining existing customers. However, because this fashion company has problems, namely delivery and determining recommendations that are directly in place, resulting in inconvenience for customers who make recommendations that are not in accordance with the tastes of these customers, because the services provided by the boutique have not been maximized causing customer loyalty to decline. Solutions to overcome these problems must be made a Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) that can be managed by a fashion company besides that the system to be built can also be accessed by customers. The system built will provide recommendations based on the customer's transaction history. To provide recommendations in a system by applying the association method using a priori algorithm, these recommendations are received by member subscribers via email messages. By looking at the transaction history of a customer who has made transactions more than five times, the recommendation will automatically be sent to the customer. The application of the association method using this a priori algorithm shows an attitude to determine product recommendations based on transaction history, by taking 5 product samples and 7 transaction histories in one member producing 2 recommendation rules with a support value of 42.8% and 75% trust.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a comprehensive integrated model which helps in explaining the impact of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) dimensions (complaint resolution, customer knowledge, customer empowerment and customer orientation) on customer loyalty and competitive advantage of a bank. The study also explores the mediating role of customer loyalty in the relationship between CRM and competitive advantage in retail banking. Design/methodology/approach – The research is based on a theoretical model which consists of four CRM dimensions and two exogenous variables. These have been used for establishing the hypotheses to analyze relationships between the variables constituting the CRM model. The data have been collected from 278 customers of a private bank. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The scale was developed and purified through factor analysis (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis). SEM was then used to examine the causal relationships and “model fit” of the proposed model. Findings – The results provide evidence that the four CRM dimensions have a positive effect on customer loyalty and competitive advantage of the bank. Among the CRM dimensions, customer knowledge is most influential of all the dimensions. Furthermore, customer loyalty acts as the mediator in the CRM model between CRM and competitive advantage. Research limitations/implications – Since, the study involved a single bank and therefore the results should be generalized cautiously. Only four CRM variables were included in the study; additional variables can be introduced in further studies involving different contexts. Practical implications – The study highlights and supports the need for mangers to devote additional resources toward developing a better CRM system. Therefore, mangers need to think beyond the technological aspects and should focus on these four dimensions, especially customer knowledge, to enhance the loyalty and competitiveness. Originality/value – The paper investigated hitherto unexplored relationships between customer-centric CRM dimensions instrumental in providing competitive advantage to a bank through mediational analysis. Thus, it contributes to the information on the implementation of CRM practices valuable for banking sector.

Globalization and the rapid advance of information technology and communication have led to the emergence of new trends like postmodernity and hypermodernity. Madagascar, a future emerging economy, chosen as the research field, has not been immune to these phenomena. It is integrated into the global cultural system, although it is known for its specific traditional culture. Therefore, this work has demonstrated how the chosen tool of relationship marketing, which is Customer Relationship Management (CRM), can be an element of accelerated societal change and how CRM can cause changes in the Malagasy culture. The research presented in this chapter examines the four major roles of CRM as used in Madagascar to determine whether it is suitable for Malagasy consumers. This study may help service marketers of international companies in using new marketing tools as innovative means in emerging economies and increase their customer loyalty.
