This open access book aims to develop a mid-range theory of relationship management, examining truly relationship-orientated firms to discover not only what qualities these firms have that make them successful at the RM model, but also what benefits this model has for the firm. It addresses questions like how RM-mature companies achieve and sustain competitive advantage, and what determines the scale and scope of these firms, illustrating with case studies. This book will be of interest to scholars studying leadership and strategy, especially those interested in relationship management, business ethics and corporate social responsibility. It will also be of interest to professionals looking to develop their understanding of relationship management. 606 $aCustomer relations$xManagement 606 $aManagement 606 $aStrategic planning 606 $aLeadership 606 $aProject management 606 $aCustomer Relationship Management 606 $aManagement 606 $aBusiness Strategy and Leadership 606 $aProject Management 615 0$aCustomer relations$xManagement. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aStrategic planning. 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aProject management. 615 14$aCustomer Relationship Management. 615 24$aManagement. 615 24$aBusiness Strategy and Leadership. 615 24$aProject Management. 676 $a658.812 676 $a658.812 686 $aBUS018000$aBUS041000$2bisacsh 700 $aDeszczyn?ski$b Bartosz$01060832 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910473448903321 996 $aFirm Competitive Advantage Through Relationship Management$92515892 997 $aUNINA
