| Abstract: | This paper aims at developing a reliable and valid measuring scale for customer relationship management (CRM). A series of studies were conducted during the development and validation of multiple measures for the CRM dimensions. Data from a study (n=150 business executives attending a part-time MBA program) and a mail survey of Hong Kong financial firms (n=215) were used to select items and to examine factor structure, as well as to provide evidence of dimensionality, scale reliability and validity. Finally, data from 276 business executives attending a seminar on CRM were used to test the scale generalizability of CRM measures in various industries. A reliable and valid scale was developed to measure the four dimensions of CRM: CRM organization, key customer focus, knowledge management (KM) and technology-based CRM. The findings validate the long-held belief of CRM being a critical success factor for business performance. |
