Reviews & Statements

The main objective of this book is to provide an overview of the field of the Semantic Web, social Web, and CRM by bringing together various research studies from different subfields. In addition, this book seeks to provide evidence about the increasing influence of the social and Semantic Web within the CRM environments. To achieve these objectives, a broad inter-disciplinary contribution to the literature in this area is accomplished in the form of eighteen book chapters, treating various issues around the topic of the book the Semantic Web, the social Web, and CRM. [...] Cliens Conexus is as an adaptation of the Homo Conexus term coined by Fallows (2006). This new term refers to a customer that uses technology and the social Web to express clearly their preferences. Thus, let's learn how to listen to them. Let's work out how to understand them. Let's know our customers better.
