Book Synopsis Service Quality Measurement: Issues and Perspectives by : Lewlyn L. R. Rodrigues
Download or read book Service Quality Measurement: Issues and Perspectives written by Lewlyn L. R. Rodrigues and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is very useful for it is not just ‘descriptive’ in its nature, but ‘prescriptive’, too. It is descriptive in the sense that it describes the process of developing or using a metric in a problem situation, and prescriptive as it clearly prescribes how a beginner can put the theory into practice. In this globalized economy, maintaining quality of products and services has been the thrust area of interest among academicians and practitioners. Today, there are quite a good number of books and research articles available. Nevertheless, service quality measurement has always posed problems, particularly in the context of service industries due to the difficulty in the measurement of the intangibles and implied needs of the customers. The research literature is filled with articles on how to quantify the services, and there are several streams of arguments on the choice of the most ideal approach. However, the research gap lies in the answer to the question: ‘Do these measurement instruments concur in their measurement outcomes or do they give different results in the same situation?’ This book primarily makes an attempt to answer this question through a case study approach. Even though, there are several instruments for the measurement of service quality, the two most widely used instruments are SERVQUAL and SERVPERF metrics. Comprehensively, this book explains the systematic procedure of using both, the instruments in a service sector, and further, the procedure for conducting a statistical analysis so that one will be able to apply the same in any service sector. It then takes the reader through a series of tests in order to compare the two metrics, and to prove statistically if there is the same outcome in a problem situation. The results are sure to surprise the reader, and trigger the “research bent of mind” to undertake a similar study of such metrics and gain mastery over performing an independent research with very minimal guidance from a professional guide. To conclude, this book is sure to provide adequate inputs for a service quality researcher, and answer various questions wriggling in the mind of a beginner of service quality research such as: How shall I start with service quality measurement? How to collect data? How to select a sample? How to conduct a literature review? How to analyse the data? What research methodology is applicable? How to build hypothesis on my research? How to use statistical procedures? How to present the [...]

Book Synopsis Services Management: Conceptualizing and Measuring Customer Perceived Service Quality by : Tim Ebner
Download or read book Services Management: Conceptualizing and Measuring Customer Perceived Service Quality written by Tim Ebner and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 2,3, University of Münster (Junior Professorship for Marketing), language: English, abstract: Service Quality is a field of marketing, which stimulated numerous scholars to do theoretical and empirical research on. The SERVQUAL concept first was amongst concepts like The Nordic Model by Grönroos (1984) and The Three-Component Model by Rust and Oliver (1994) and SERVPERF by Cronin and Taylor (1992). After there has been a major debate which role expectations should play for service quality, which primary dimensions should be used to conceptualize and measure it and how service quality has to be integrated in existing marketing theory, newer approaches concentrate either on the depth of these dimensions, further optimization of the integration of service quality into marketing theory or specific factors which might play a role on distinct settings. In a multilevel approach, primary dimensions can be understood as direct antecedents of service quality. Subdimensions are antecedents of the primary dimensions of service quality. This paper deals with the issue, how customer perceived service quality (CPSQ) is supposed to be conceptualized and measured. In order to do this, the first section begins simply with several ideas that came up in literature what factors might influence service quality and how it can be defined. Then the paper illustrates why generality of theories is useful in Marketing Research and how it can be achieved. Moreover, an adequate framework to justify or reject particular concepts and measurements of service quality is provided. In the third section, the paper continues with the introduction of concepts and measurements of service quality. Attention is given to broader approaches as well as specific approaches of service quality. The paper combines these approaches in the fourth section with the help of the diagnostic framework provided before in order to achieve a concept of CPSQ with an optimal degree of generality. Thereafter the paper closes with a conclusion that gives a résumé on the results of this work.
Book Synopsis Customer Satisfaction Research Management by : Derek R. Allen
Download or read book Customer Satisfaction Research Management written by Derek R. Allen and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2004-02-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful organizations have shifted from being product-based organizations to customer-based organizations, and customer satisfaction management (CSM) is an integral aspect of this new way of thinking. Successfully measuring customer satisfaction can be complicated and very detailed, requiring a great deal of in depth research and analysis. Customer Satisfaction Research Management is intended for advanced service quality managers and marketing researchers involved in the management of customer satisfaction programs. This is the third book in a series by author Derek Allen, focusing on customer satisfaction measurement, analysis, and implementation. Allen begins with the assumption that the reader has at least a minimal familiarity with the psychometric aspects of customer satisfaction measurement, statistical analysis, and linkage research that attempts to establish a causal relationship between customer attitudes and business outcomes. He then builds on this base to first discuss the theoretical relationship between customer satisfaction and financial performance, and then to dive deep into specific applications of customer satisfaction programs. Some of the areas covered include dealing with the challenges of conducting global customer satisfaction measurement programs, linking performance metrics to management compensation systems and financial outcomes, and results deployment. "This book will prove an invaluable resource for research managers charged with developing and implementing customer satisfaction research programs for their organization." Albrecht (Al) Grabenstein First Vice President, Corporate Marketing Comerica "This book describes with outstanding examples how insights gained from deep analysis of customer satisfaction research results can be used to create successful customer relationship marketing strategies and to design effective business processes which improve both customer satisfaction and business results." Lyle Kan Senior Vice President, Performance Management Countrywide Home Loans "Derek Allen offers managers of customer retention programs the tools necessary for the implementation and management of a successful program Managers whose companies have customer relationship management systems in place will also find the discussions on CRM, marketing research, and customer satisfaction very useful." Manuel Gutierrez Director of Market Research Kohler Co.

Book Synopsis Delivering Quality Service by : Valarie A. Zeithaml
Download or read book Delivering Quality Service written by Valarie A. Zeithaml and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excellence in customer service is the hallmark of success in service industries and among manufacturers of products that require reliable service. But what exactly is excellent service? It is the ability to deliver what you promise, say the authors, but first you must determine what you can promise. Building on seven years of research on service quality, they construct a model that, by balancing a customer's perceptions of the value of a particular service with the customer's need for that service, provides brilliant theoretical insight into customer expectations and service delivery. For example, Florida Power & Light has developed a sophisticated, computer-based lightening tracking system to anticipate where weather-related service interruptions might occur and strategically position crews at these locations to quicken recovery response time. Offering a service that customers expect to be available at all times and that they will miss only when the lights go out, FPL focuses its energies on matching customer perceptions with potential need. Deluxe Corporation, America's highly successful check printer, regularly exceeds its customers' expectations by shipping nearly 95% of all orders by the day after the orders were received. Deluxe even put U.S. Postal Service stations inside its plants to speed up delivery time. Customer expectations change over time. To anticipate these changes, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company regularly monitors the expectations and perceptions of their customers, using focus group interviews and the authors' 22-item generic SERVQUAL questionnaire, which is customized by adding questions covering specific aspects of service they wish to track. The authors' groundbreaking model, which tracks the five attributes of quality service -- reliability, empathy, assurance, responsiveness, and tangibles -- goes right to the heart of the tendency to overpromise. By comparing customer perceptions with expectations, the model provides marketing managers with a two-part measure of perceived quality that, for the first time, enables them to segment a market into groups with different service expectations.
Book Synopsis The Measurement of Customer Satisfaction by : David Willemsen
Download or read book The Measurement of Customer Satisfaction written by David Willemsen and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-02-17 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, RWTH Aachen University (Lehrstuhl Wirtschaftswissenschaften für Ingenieure und Naturwissenschaftler ), language: English, abstract: Only those companies that fully satisfy their customers will be able to maintain a top market position in the long run. Despite the fact that this rule has been known for a very long time, it has drastically gained in importance in the last years. The reasons are multifarious, but three main aspects can be named: the upswing of customer needs, exacerbating competition, and more complex market conditions. Rising customer demands can best be explained by a growing range of products competing against each other. In times of fierce competition, companies must deliver optimal products for the purpose of maintaining their competitiveness and strengthening their market positions. To ensure maximum customer loyalty, it is essential to know the status quo regarding the so called customer satisfaction and how consumer needs developed over time. This thesis presents the current state of research in the field of customer satisfaction measurement. In its macro-structure it can be divided into a theoretical and an empirical part. In the first one, the main measurement and calculation methods are described and discussed with focus on their capability to provide valid and reliable results concerning customer satisfaction. Chapter 2 sets the thematic framework by examining different conceptions of the formation of customer satisfaction. On this basis, a coarse presentation and categorization of prevalent measurement approaches is given. Not all of those approaches are up to today’s standard of providing valid and reliable measures. Hence, in Chapter 3, only the promising subset of those approaches is further analyzed. Those methods are critically analyzed and assessed with the help of the existing literature. Building on this, a holistic customer satisfaction measurement system is introduced. Subsequently, Chapter 4 addresses the issue of comparability of different customer satisfaction measures and represents the transition from the theoretical to a praxis-based empirical part. Chapter 4.1 focuses on challenges for obtaining comparable data in international measurements. A closer look is taken at the different national CSI models as well as a recently established uniform European approach. Furthermore, study results of individual countries and industries are examined for their similarities and differences. The thesis concludes with a summary of the most important findings and provides an outlook on future developments in the field of customer satisfaction research.
