        Today, increased competition between organizations has led them to seek a better understanding of customer behavior through innovative ways of storing and analyzing their information. Moreover, the emergence of new computing technologies has brought about major changes in the ability of organizations to collect, store and analyze macro-data. Therefore, over thousands of data can be stored for each customer. Hence, customer satisfaction is one of the most important organizational goals. Since all customers do not represent the same profitability to an organization, understanding and identifying the valuable customers has become the most important organizational challenge. Thus, understanding customers’ behavioral variables and categorizing customers based on these characteristics could provide better insight that will help business owners and industries to adopt appropriate marketing strategies such as up-selling and cross-selling. The use of these strategies is based on a fundamental variable, variety of products. Diversity in individual consumption may lead to increased demand for variety of products; therefore, variety of products can be used, along with other behavioral variables, to better understand and categorize customers’ behavior. Given the importance of the variety of products as one of the main parameters of assessing customer behavior, studying this factor in the field of business-to-business (B2B) communication represents a vital new approach. Hence, this study aims to cluster customers based on a developed RFM model, namely RFMV, by adding a variable of variety of products (V). Therefore, CRISP-DM and K-means algorithm was used for clustering. The results of the study indicated that the variable V, variety of products, is effective in calculating customers’ value. Moreover, the results indicated the better customers clustering and valuation by using the RFMV model. As a whole, the results of modeling indicate that the variety of products along with other behavioral variables provide more accurate clustering than RFM model. Manuscript profile

        In today’s world, the competition between all business areas and companies including pharma distributor companies has increased dramatically, so it is very important for active companies in the pharma distribution industry which deal with a large number of customers in a B2B market to establish a deep and long-term relationship with their customers and manage that relationship effectively. Since the CRM which now is enriched by new emerging technologies in terms of e-CRM and m-CRM is under developing rapidly, it can play a critical role for empowering these companies to strengthen their relationship with their customers. In this research it has been tried to have a complete review of mobile computing technology concept and its effect on CRM. The research methodology is basically qualitative. After a literature review, using qualitative research methods and deep interviews with a group of 8 industry experts, the whole concept of the initial model was derived using Thematic Analysis method. The Grounded Theory approach was applied to extract the main factors and sub-factors of the final model. Additionally, some of \research techniques such as Dematel, ANP and Super Decision software were used to investigate the interdependency, importance and priority of factors and sub-factors. At the last stage a new model for e-CRM in pharma distribution industry based on mobile computing technology has been proposed. The four key components of the model are Quality of Content and Services, Organizational Readiness, Quality of System and Communication, Customer Mobile App. Manuscript profile

        In recent years, many companies have integrated the activities of customer relationship management with knowledge management together as one concept. In fact, the principal reason for the mentioned integration is that the knowledge management plays a key role in the customer relationship management. The potential of bilateral relationship between these two fields and also the critical function of knowledge management in success of customer relationship management, has attracted the attention of researchers to this matter recently. The term of “customer knowledge management” is the combination of knowledge management and customer relationship management. The customer knowledge management requires applying different approaches through considering wide variety of key variables in these fields. The considered key variables for each customer knowledge management model are different according to its model. Generally, many models have been presented for customer knowledge management, including conceptual, process and system model. In this paper, we intend to develop process model which achieved from combination of business engineering model, six business processes based on customer relationship management systems, and four aspects of knowledge management in principle business activities, namely marketing, sales and services.
