The Evolution of Relationship Marketing Orientations

There has been a shift in the business focus from transactional to relationship marketing. Companies have been increasingly implementing relationship-marketing practices in order to survive in highly competitive markets. The main objective of this chapter is to understand the emergence of the relationship-marketing orientations. This chapter starts with examining the marketing practices of the pre-industrial, industrial, and post-industrial periods with the purpose of demonstrating that relationship orientation in the post-industrial era is rebirth of marketing practices of the pre-industrial age. After outlining the factors that cause re-emergence of relationship orientation in the post-industrial era, the emergence of the relationship-marketing school of thought is briefly discussed. This chapter ends with comparing the transactional marketing practices with relationship marketing practices.

From the craft production of the Gothic to the standardised industrial production of the Bauhaus, this research follows the development of modern architecture and the evolution of façade construction. This paper examines how, as technology has continued to advance and modes of production have evolved, complete dematerialisation - defined in this paper as a non-structural glass exterior walls - of the façade was achieved with the curtain wall. This research aimed to establish a link between Gothic and Bauhaus architecture to propose a lineage for modern curtain wall façade production and construction. The paper argues that changing modes of production is in response to construction issues, technological innovation and are dependent on the socio-cultural context of a specific time. Presenting a lineage that places this evolution into three stages - pre-industrial, industrial, and post-industrial - the relationship of architecture, technology and how construction methods respond to new technology will be illustrated. This paper will examine the curtain wall's arrival in New Zealand as a case study for the international dissemination of this system, to conclude with a discussion that outlines how the architecture of a post-industrial age both favours and can produce customised and complex façades.

Purpose – This paper aims to answer a prominent question that arises for the manager who wishes to recruit a salesperson to maintain and develop a portfolio–customer relationship: Under which condition is this decision profitable for the firm? Though several authors have underscored the importance of the salesperson's role in the creation of purchaser–salesperson relationships, in the author's knowledge, no study has focused on the salesperson's profitability in the relationship approach. This issue is significant for sales managers because the investment in sales force is greater, and the relationship profitability with customers is not guaranteed. Design/methodology/approach – Econometric model based on transaction cost economics theory and dynamic exchange between firm, salesperson and a customer. Specifically, this model links between customer life value, firm financial value, salesperson cost and relationship time. Findings – Three zones are identified that can characterize the dynamic salesperson profitability. It was shown that only one zone can be profitable to the firm. Research limitations/implications – This result is important because it can solve the equivocal posit between scholars with regard to the success or the failure of relationship marketing. This study also specifies the critical retention rate, the critical duration time in which a salesperson begins to be profitable. Originality/value – In the author's knowledge, this study is the first to use an exchange model to show in which conditions the salesperson will be profitable in relationship marketing.
