# Deadline Extended #

Social CRM links social media and customer relationship management (CRM). This comprises a variety of applications systems, from recommender systems to community management and monitoring as well as artificial intelligence and mining tools. They are the basis for Social CRM applications that support daily tasks such as the prediction of consumer behavior, customer profiling, impact simulation, business network analysis, lead prediction, market trend prediction, competitor analysis, knowledge discovery, automated interactions in sales and service or process and workflow automation. Social CRM may be found in various industries (e.g. tourism, banking, energy, public sector, publishing, health, logistics, education), but reaping the potentials also means to (tightly or loosely) integrate application systems as well as business strategies and processes.

The workshop aims to shed light on current research efforts targeting the development and implementation of Social CRM application systems, methods and scenarios. It aims at nurturing multi-perspective research and is not limited to technological integration, but also includes aligned processes and strategies as well as holistic methods including change management. We invite research on application scenarios, economic analyses, the role of culture, changing consumer behavior and expectations as well as potentially negative aspects of Social CRM that influence usage scenarios and system development. The workshop setup is interdisciplinary and invites researchers as well as professionals to contribute research papers, case studies or to present prototypes on relevant topics, both completed
and ongoing.
