Apstrakt
Sektor finansijskih usluga karakteriše dinamičan razvoj i uočava se potreba za inovativnim poslovnim modelima koji će dovesti do zadržavanja postojećih klijenata, ali i pridobijanja novih. Upravljanje odnosima sa klijentima (engl. Customer Relationship Management - CRM) može se definisati kao strategija koja teži razumevanju potreba klijenata u cilju obezbeđivanja njihovog zadovoljstva, dugoročne saradnje i povećanja prodaje. Kako u literaturi i dalje postoji skepticizam oko vrednosti CRM inicijativa i dostignutih poboljšanja performansi poslovanja, cilj ovog rada je razumevanje osnova i pokazatelja uspeha CRM-a u bankarskom sektoru. Rad daje pregled literature u oblasti i utvrđuje neophodne resurse u cilju ostvarenja prednosti koju donose dugoročni i kvalitetni odnosi sa klijentima.
