Abstract

Customer relationship management (CRM) systems obtain information about customer behaviour that allows companies to develop innovations with greater acceptance potential in the market. This article seeks to answer the following research question: How does the use of the CRM system improve the company's innovation capability? A multiple case study was developed in two organisations and data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. As contributions, it was possible to identify that each company studied developed its own process to make use of the knowledge created via the use of the CRM system in the improvement of innovation capability (IC). It was verified that, although the CRM allows companies to improve their IC, the impact of this improvement depends on the way the company develops its processes and also on the agents who interact with the CRM system and the company's innovation area.
