“Though MBA can be specialized in different streams like
marketing, finance and HR, specialization in CRM
sounds absurd as hardly any university has taken
initiative to design and conduct till date, any course in
this context.
The scenario is certainly different in foreign
countries where, realizing the importance, universities
like Baylor University and New York University are
already launching full courses in CRM”.

“Indian universities produce every year several thousand
MBA graduates who have a little or no knowledge about
CRM. Surely, some of these business graduates step
into the world of business without adequate knowledge
about CRM.
Observing the increasing
relevance of CRM in retail and others sectors, a
student pursuing management education from
Accman Institute of Management, will proof
himself as an asset for the organization”.

Designing a CRM Strategy
Your bank is about to launch a new integrated current
account product that is aimed at providing many customer
services within a single account, including regular current
account services, loan and mortgage facilities and a high
interest savings facility. Mortgage customers will only pay
interest on the net balance owing on the account, which
offers a significant saving to them over the life of the
mortgage.
The product is being marketed as a flexible lifestyle
product, which a customer can use in different ways as
their needs change over the family life cycle.
