Because I work in higher education I do not think my organization could use technology to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace for a long period of time. Schools are competing for the same population, and the leverage that one school has over another would be short lived until the next innovation comes along. I think all colleges use…[Read more]

A CRM system is more important to an organization because if you don’t manage your relationship with current and possible future customers, it doesn’t matter if you have a good SCM system. You have to know who your targeted audience is in order to accommodate their needs, and to anticipate what they may want next in order to drive sales gro…[Read more]
