Abstract
This paper focuses much-needed attention on the ethical nature of customer relationship management
(CRM) strategies in organisations. The research uses an in-depth case study to reflect on the design,
implementation and use of ‘best practice’ associated with CRM. We argue that conventional CRM
philosophy is based on a fairly narrow construct that fails to consider ethical issues appropriately. We
highlight why ethical considerations are important when organisations use CRM and how a more holistic
approach incorporating some of Alasdair MacIntyre’s ideas on virtue ethics could be relevant.
