Based on knowledge management and customer relationship management in private sectors, the article attempts to build up the framework for citizen relationship management (CRM) in the context of knowledge-based government. Especially suited for administrative agencies, the framework includes three levels: (1) CRM for citizen complaints handling, (2) CRM for information sharing and citizen trust cultivation, and (3) CRM for public policy problem construction. A case of e-mail complaints handling system at a local government is utilized to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed CRM framework.
