Journal of Business Research · 2024

Jochen Wirtz, Christian Kowalkowski, Elina Jaakkola, Maria Holmlund, Wolfgang Ulaga, Tanvir Ahmed

Summary

Defines Relieving, Enabling and Enriching CX value propositions and four archetypical CXM strategies: Champion, Cherry Picker, Minimalist and Fashionista; supplies a four-step managerial guide. For a founder, use this as a question to test in your own context, not a universal playbook.

For your marketing

Possible founder application

Treat this as evidence for the specific b2b growth and sales question studied. Compare the setting and sample to your company before changing a growth decision; use a local experiment where the paper does not match your context.

Reported result

What the study found

Defines Relieving, Enabling and Enriching CX value propositions and four archetypical CXM strategies: Champion, Cherry Picker, Minimalist and Fashionista; supplies a four-step managerial guide.

Research question

What the authors investigated

What customer goals and value propositions should guide B2B customer-experience management instead of a one-size-fits-all “more is better” approach?

Design

Conceptual synthesis and framework development from B2B customer-experience and value literature; proposes goal categories, CXM value propositions, four strategies and a research agenda rather than reporting a primary sample.

Sample and setting

No original respondent sample reported; B2B customer-experience management literature and business-market contexts.

Scope and transfer

Limitations to keep in view

No primary empirical sample; the article proposes a framework and explicitly calls for research on strategy drivers and contextual factors.
