In the context of Customer Relationship Management (CRM), people and groups who help shape a consumer's everyday experiences also include people unknown to the consumer.

In CRM, the term "stakeholders" encompasses not just the consumer and the company, but also other people and groups that indirectly impact the consumer's experience such as influencers, regulators, and referral sources. These stakeholders may be unknown to the consumer but still play a significant role in shaping their experiences with the company.

Accepted Answer

Question 13

Value can be modeled by playing between "what you get" and "what you have to give" to get the product.

Accepted Answer
