The Social CRM: Taming the Wild Child of Big Data and CRM
Programme Overview
Public or private organisations see the potential of big data and mining to be turned into big value by combining its CRM system with Big Data analytics. Since customers make buying decisions every day – and every decision depends on a consideration of cost, benefits, and value – management accountants need to be very aware of the value-creation potential of marrying traditional CRM systems with Big Data analytics.
However, management accountants must also be very aware that the ‘wild-child’ that has emerged in the union of Big Data and CRM, called Social CRM, is very difficult to control, and can seriously affect corporate value if negative publicity about the company goes viral in social networks.
