This research project intended to pursue a new direction of CRM by fusing database marketing and consumer theory, which makes it possible to predict customer behaviors through well understanding consumers. We have developed marketing models for individual customers, accommodating consumer heterogeneity necessary for efficient CRM, and dynamic marketing models to catch up with the dynamically changing market. We have also conducted the consumer behavior study based on experiments to acquire more precise understanding consumers. We had invited some leading scholars from abroad to have international workshops, and continued to work with them for international collaboration on research. We also had two workshops mostly for researchers in Japan. We published the research outcomes in some academic journals and presented them at the conferences. Totally we had 54 papers published, 91 presentations and 15 books from our research project.
