Thèmes abordés
Relational marketing is taking more importance relative to transactional marketing. Companies try to tie up narrow contacts and to create long-lasting relations with their customers given the potential beneficial effect of these long-lasting relations on the profits of companies. Understanding the driver of consumer satisfaction and brand loyalty are at the heart of relational marketing. This relational approach is particularly relevant (but no limited) to services marketing and business to business marketing. This course will present the theories and models of customer relationship management and apply them through case studies.
