Sažetak
The point of departure for this study is the understanding of customer
relationship management (CRM) as a set of technological
solutions key for efficient business management, the benefits of
which, highlighted by previous works, are presented and defined
here as crucial for entrepreneurial success. Of particular interest
for this purpose are the existing studies on sustainability, which
provide a viable research model to assess and validate the potential
effect of each CRM component (sales, marketing, and services)
on the three dimensions of sustainability (economic, environmental,
and social). Upon confirmation of our hypotheses, the subsequent
validation of such model should bring a better
understanding of the way in which CRM-related benefits may
increase the positive impact of its components on each dimension
of sustainability. CRM can hence be considered a sort of
Green IT, oriented toward digital transformation and sustainable
business model innovation. Indeed, this research model may be
the basis for a more specific methodology to measure the impact
and benefits of applying CRM, understood, as we will contend,
both in terms of sustainable business models and innovation.
