Vendor Relationship Management, or VRM, represents a radical shift in the usual dynamics of business-customer relationships. Unlike traditional practice where the company maintains control, VRM aims to empower customers to manage their relationships with vendors. According to the Harvard VRM project, the key principles of this approach include customers’ freedom to interact with businesses, the centralization of customer data under their control, the ability to control the transmission of this data, the possibility of establishing their own terms of engagement, and the freedom to express their needs and intentions without interference from businesses.
