Published: October 2020

The noticeable lack of accepted and unified models of Customer Relationship Management generally leads to failures in the implementation of CRM projects, particularly when organizations adopt the limited technology perspective. In an attempt to evaluate the different perspectives of CRM, this research paper focus on the perspective that proposes that effective CRM implementations typically involve the four dimensions: (1) customer orientation (2) knowledge management (3) CRM organization, and (4) CRM technology. Our study evaluates the impact of CRM dimensions and hotel performance (occupancy rate) in Morocco. A sample of 80 Moroccan hotels was surveyed. Regression and other tests were used for analyses and interpretation. Our results reveal a significant positive impact of customer orientation, knowledge management, and CRM organization on occupancy rate. While CRM technology has been demonstrated to not significantly affect hotels’ occupancy rate.

The management of dermatophytosis is challenging in India and there are reports of using systemic antifungals at higher doses. But there are multiple reports of increased treatment failures with terbinafine at standard dosage as well, hence we conducted this study to compare efficacy and safety of high dose of terbinafine with itraconazole at standard dose. Topical ciclopirox olamine was used in both arms.This was randomized, open label, comparative study where 80 patients with tinea corporis et cruris infection were included. Patients were either prescribed terbinafine 250mg twice a day or itraconazole 100mg twice a day for 4 weeks. Efficacy was assessed based on complete, clinical and mycological cure rate. Safety was assessed by evaluating adverse events and monitoring liver function of patients.Total 76 patients completed the study with 38 in each group. 81.5% patients achieved complete cure in terbinafine group compared to 76.31% patients in itraconazole group. At the end of six weeks, there was a statistically significant improvement (p value&#60;0.05) in the total symptom score (erythema, scaling, and pruritus) in Group I as well as in Group II compared to baseline. None of the patients showed any significant side effect in both Itraconazole and Terbinafine groups. No changes in liver function were observed in both the groups.This study shows that the high dose of terbinafine in combination with topical ciclopirox is effective and safe in management of tinea corporis et cruris.

The combination of treatment modalities acting via different mechanisms have proven beneficial in management of vitiligoA phase IV, randomized, open label, non-comparative, prospective, multicenter study conducted among patients with stable vitiligo to evaluate efficacy and safety of topical combination of bFGFrP and tacrolimus in comparison with tacrolimus monotherapy. The efficacy assessment parameters after 12 months of treatment were, improvement in extent of repigmentation (EOR), grade of repigmentation (GOR), patient global assessment (PGA).Out of 120 randomized patients, at the end of the study, after 12 months of treatment, the combination group (bFGFrP + T) showed significant improvement in EOR with 66.7% patients (n=54) achieving greater than 50% of repigmentation as compared to only 39.2% in tacrolimus group (n=51). Significantly higher mean response rate (66.75%) was observed in combination group than tacrolimus monotherapy group (46.47%).After 12 months of treatment, combination of bFGFrP and Tacrolimus leads to significantly better results with rapid repigmentation and response rates in stable vitiligo patients, with a favorable safety profile.
