Doherty Loughborough University Business School, UK Dr Nigel Lockett Brunel Business School, Brunel University, UK Abstract: The much debated relationship marketing paradigm suggests that the marketing strategy should be framed in terms of the development of long-term and mutually rewarding customer relationships, rather than simply focussing upon the promotion and selling of products and services. Moreover, customer relation management, typically enacted through electronic CRM software, is often promoted as the ideal mechanism for implementing relationship marketing on a company-wide basis.

  • Funded Phd Positions in Logistics 1 Description of the Research Project
    Funded PhD positions in Logistics The section of Supply Chain Management at the department of Technology & Operations Management seeks an enthusiastic and talented candidate for a PhD positions in logistics. The PhD candidates will work on a funded project, which is described below. The research environment and required profile of the candidate is given below as well. 1 Description of the research project Sharehouse: Human-Technology interaction in warehouse environments Human behavior has been demonstrated to be very influential in determining performance outcomes of logistical processes. At the same time, existing research has only lifted a small part of the veil on the interactions between human behavior and the design and outcomes of operational processes. A particular challenge in the field is posed by the rapid development of automation and robotization in logistics and manufacturing operations. Complete automation of the most essential tasks is technically often still impossible, and for the large majority of companies financially unfeasible. The fact that in these sectors many jobs are being replaced by robots, does therefore not mean that behavioral research in this context is obsolete. Instead, the nature and importance of the remaining jobs changes drastically, as workers will be required to closely cooperate with robots and automated systems. Recent studies explore the potential and pitfalls of robotization from the perspective of human factors. For example, the variety and physical nature of a job might change completely if a robot takes over a part of an employee’s tasks, which will impact the motivation, job satisfaction, and ergonomics experienced by workers. From the perspective of behavioral operations management, of which the scope explicitly includes the operational performance outcomes of the studied processes, the robotization development creates innovative research opportunities at the interface between normative automated procedures and employee behavior.

  • Study on PM Tools and Techniques
    An empirical study on the use of project management tools and techniques across project life-cycle and their impact on project success Peerasit Patanakul Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, USA Boonkiart Iewwongcharoen King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, Bangkok, Thailand Dragan Milosevic Portland State University, Oregon, USA Even though project management tools and techniques (PMTT) have been commonly used by project managers, research on PMTT still has not been adequately investigated as to whether its use contributes to the success of a project. The lack of such knowledge leads to the use of PMTT because of popularity rather than any known bene®ts. To respond to this issue, the authors conducted a large-sample study based on a survey and statistical analyses to investigate the use of PMTT. Evidence emerged that some PMTT should be used in a certain phase of a project and such uses contribute to project success. Introduction Project management has been around for decades and has gained its reputa- tion in recent years as a management practice that helps an organisation achieve its business results. Project management helps an organisation reduce product development time to market, utilise limited resources, handle technological complexity, respond to stakeholder satisfaction and increase global market competition (Cleland, 1998). Even with its signi®cance in business practices, research on project management is still relatively young and lacks theoretical bases and concepts (Shenhar, 2001). To lead a project successfully, a project manager has to become adept at initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling and closing (PMI, 2008). To do so, project managers typically use several tools and techniques to help them orchestrate activities along a project life cycle.
