• A process to support customers i.e. relationship initiation, maintenance, termination. Reinartz et al. (2004)
• A typology of CRM strategy, customer insight, customer contact and marketing (Batenburg and Versendal, 2004)

BUSINESS-IS STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
• Fit between business strategies and IS strategies
• “… the degree to which the IT mission, objectives and plans are supported by business mission, objectives and plans” (Reich and Benbasat, 1996)
![Page 10: Customer Relationship Management Alignment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082700/5483c6b5b4af9f5a168b4646/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

BUSINESS-IS STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT ..CONT’
• Over the years business-IS strategic alignment models have applied / adapted / extended STROBE (Venkatraman, 1985), STROEPIS / STROIS (Chan et al., 1997) and SAM (Luftman, 2000)
![Page 11: Customer Relationship Management Alignment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082700/5483c6b5b4af9f5a168b4646/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

BALANCED SCORECARD• Traditional financial measures and historical
perspectives are insufficient for monitoring performance (Kaplan and Norton 1992; 1996)
• Balanced Scorecard uses actual performance vs. set targets
• Based on four perspectives : financial, customer, internal business process and learning and growth (Kaplan and Norton 1992; 1996)

RESEARCH QUESTION• Does the relationship between business-
IS strategic alignment and CRM process-IS alignment explain CRM alignment?
• What are the impacts of CRM alignment?
