Approach – This study approaches CRM processes at the customer facing level and attempts to discover its effects to performance at firm-level analysis.
Findings – The results show that the interrelationships suggested by the framework are supported. Especially, the mechanisms of how CRM processes can influence the customer value and financial performance are explored.
