Critical success factors (CSFS) of the pre-adoption and pre-implementation plan of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system

The success of Customer Relationship management (CRM) is not an easy thing to be achieved.The understanding of the main factors that could contribute in the success of CRM initiatives will make the difference toward successful CRM systems adoption and implementation.An extensive review of the literature was conducted in order to highlight the main success factors that if the organization be aware of and dealt with properly will achieve success and will gain the intended benefits of their CRM initiative or program.This paper revealed that top management support, managing organizational and cultural change, CRM understanding, organizational readiness, and users’ involvement are among the most important CRM systems success factors.In addition, this paper proposed plan of six success factors to be as a pre-adoption and pre-implementation plan for the successful adoption and implementation of CRM systems

Principles and guidelines for developing implementation methodology of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems

The implementation of CRM systems has become very necessary for organizations in order to effectively manage their relationships with the customers.Unfortunately, it has faced various failures in different industries. Besides, the existence of implementation methodologies or frameworks that guide the successful implementation of CRM systems are still lacking. In response to that, this paper aims to critically review the methodologies of the existing implementation of CRM system and to comprehensively suggest a set of principles and guidelines for the successful implementation plan of CRM systems.In accordance, this paper compares three most famous CRM implementation methodologies; CRM-iris methodology, CRM-six sigma methodology, and Jun-Wu methodology. As a result, a set of implementation principles and guidelines are suggested to be taken into consideration in the implementation of CRM systems.These principles and guidelines could be tested empirically in the future for the generalization purposes

User Interface and RF-Front End Design for Radio Direction Finding-Miniature Unmanned Air Vehicles (RDF-MUAV)

Radio direction finding perform better at high altitude due to greater line of sight coverage. In this paper, the radio direction finding-miniature unmanned air vehicles (RDF-MUAVs) platform able to localize the beacon by accessing the direction of signal and report it back to the ground station immediately, improving search and rescue operations. RDF-MUAV system divided into four major part; RF front end design; RF software design; ground station design; and user interface (UI). This paper focuses on two out of the four major parts, which designing a good UI and RF front end to be integrated into the system. The UI is designed using Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) architecture in Raspberry Pi platform that can display accurate data obtained from RDF-MUAVs. The UI is based on HTML which is lightweight, modifiable and can be accessed through smartphone, tablets, or personal computer. In the antenna design, phase direction finder method is chosen. The rotation of antenna can be done by moving the UAV to obtain the bearing to the source signal. Proposed type of antenna is Yagi-Uda antenna due to its high gain and relatively small size. The folded dipole is chosen as the driven element of the antenna due to its bandwidth characteristics and directivity. Result shows the function-al bandwidth is 200MHz which can accept electromagnetic waves from 500MHz to 600MHz and 900MHz to 1000MHz. Overall, the design implementations provide a feasible system in search and rescue operation

Empowering wakaf (Islamic endowment) for economic development: an insightful value of Nazir waqf in Indonesia

Productive waqf, which are one of the instruments of economic development for the people in Indonesia, have not yet materialized. Even though the legislation regarding waqf (Islamic endowment) has been ratified and enforced by the Indonesian Government, especially Law No. 1 of 2004 concerning Endowments. The main cause is assumed to lie in the end of waqf that has not been effective. Therefore, this study is focused on talking about Nazir (appointed administrator) under the position in managing productive waqf. The qualitative data used is sourced from books and statutory regulations on waqf in Indonesia, then analyzed by the opinions ulama especially those related to Nazir waqf, whether individuals, organizations or legal entities. Based on the studies conducted, the development of waqf is still a lot of obstacles or obstacles, such as the community’s understanding of waqf is still weak, public trust in Nazir is still not lacking, and Nazir itself is still a lot of professionals. Therefore, the solution is to develop Nazir waqf, both moral, managerial, business knowledge, and raising Nazir that is not yet a full timer, not just part time work. When such obstacles have been overcome, God willing, productive endowments will develop in Indonesia, and finally the productive endowments can truly be an element of empowerment and economic development of the people
