Abstract:
The paper presents results of a fundamental work conducted across a wide range of Unilever products in Brazil to provide knowledge-based guidance for a multi-faceted CRM program. The paper shows the importance of a systematic research-based approach to problem solution in a challenging business environment. The paper concludes with suggestions and practical recommendations on how the approach can be used on a sustained basis across different industries, and how it can be appropriately modified to apply to smaller companies.
