基于期望视角的感知服务质量与顾客满意度区别研究

从期望出发,比较顾客视角的感知服务质量与满意度的区别。首先对期望概念进行明确界定,借鉴卡诺模型分类方法划分期望类别,基于重要性维度得到期望的三个类别:核心属性期望、重要属性期望和附加属性期望。以餐饮行业为实证研究背景,比较期望视角下的顾客满意度和感知服务质量的区别。发现核心属性期望、重要属性期望对顾客的服务质量评价影响更大,而附加属性期望对顾客的满意度评价影响更大。最后,给出企业对顾客期望、服务质量与顾客满意度的管理意义。     

The assessment of user-perceived web quality: Application of a satisfaction benchmarking approach

The assessment of website quality is considered as a problem of measuring user satisfaction, in order to analyse user perceptions and preferences. The presented pilot user satisfaction survey concerns the major cellular phone service providers in Greece. The analysis is based on a multicriteria preference disaggregation approach for satisfaction benchmarking analysis and consists of the following parts: (1) the user satisfaction analysis, which concerns the identification of customer preferences and includes the estimation of the relative importance and the demanding level of the different user satisfaction dimensions, and (2) the satisfaction benchmarking analysis, which is mainly focused on the performance evaluation of the competitive organisations against the satisfaction criteria, as well as the identification of the competitive advantages of each company. The results presented in this paper demonstrate how business organisations may locate their position against competition, pinpoint their weak points and determine which website characteristics will improve their global performance.     

Preference disaggregation for measuring and analysing customer satisfaction: The MUSA method

The MUlticriteria Satisfaction Analysis (MUSA) method for measuring and analysing customer satisfaction is presented in this paper. The MUSA method is a preference disaggregation model following the principles of ordinal regression analysis (inference procedure). The integrated methodology evaluates the satisfaction level of a set of individuals (customers, employees, etc.) based on their values and expressed preferences. Using satisfaction survey's data, the MUSA method aggregates the different preferences in unique satisfaction functions. This aggregation–disaggregation process is achieved with the minimum possible errors. The main advantage of the MUSA method is that it fully considers the qualitative form of customers' judgements and preferences. The development of a set of quantitative indices and perceptual maps makes possible the provision of an effective support for the satisfaction evaluation problem. This paper also presents the reliability analysis of the provided results, along with a simple numerical example that demonstrates the implementation process of the MUSA method. Finally, several extensions and future research in the context of the presented method are discussed.

Product concept and prototype flexibility in manufacturing: Implications for customer satisfaction

A rapidly changing competitive landscape and dynamic customer expectations require manufacturing firms to seek flexibility in product development. Product concept flexibility (i.e., developing design options) and product prototype flexibility (i.e., creating working models) emerge as effective ways to quickly develop new products that meet competitive challenges and satisfy customer demands. Product concept flexibility enables firms to fully explore various product definitions and ideas. Product prototype flexibility allows firms to gather customers’ feedback and investigate design feasibility. Using data from 273 manufacturing firms, this research tests mediating, moderating, and additive models that relate product concept flexibility, product prototype flexibility, and customer satisfaction. The results indicate that firms with high product concept flexibility are more likely to benefit from prototype flexibility than firms with low product concept flexibility, and that product concept flexibility and product prototype flexibility act independently and additively to predict customer satisfaction.     

Measuring Customer Satisfaction Using a Collective Preference Disaggregation Model

A new model to assess customer satisfaction is developed through this paper. The proposed model is based on the principles of multicriteria analysis, using ordinal regression techniques. The procedure uses survey's data on customer satisfaction criteria and disaggregates simultaneously all the global satisfaction judgments via a linear programming disaggregation formulation. The model provides collective global and partial satisfaction functions as well as average satisfaction indices. These results sufficiently describe customer behavior and they can be used in the strategic planning of an organization. The implementation of the model in three real world applications is used for illustration and for testing the model's reliability. Finally, several extensions and future research in the area of customer satisfaction analysis are discussed.     

Modeling customer satisfaction with new product design using a flexible fuzzy regression-data envelopment analysis algorithm

The success of new products depends greatly on customer satisfaction and meeting the customer needs is vital for new product development. By incorporating customer needs in the design and development process, organizations can improve productivity for their new products and reduce the risks associated with new product markets. Hence, design teams require methods to model customer satisfaction when setting the associated product design attributes. Thus, different approaches have been developed for modeling the relationship between customer satisfaction and product design parameters. In this study, 16 well-known fuzzy regression (FR) models are considered to understand the relationship between customer satisfaction and new product design. The design of FR models is based on the 4Ps marketing mix (product, price, place, and promotion) concept in fuzzy environments. A flexible algorithm is then presented based on the index of confidence, error measures, and data envelopment analysis for selecting the best FR model. The applicability and usefulness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated experimentally based on an actual case study, where the flexible algorithm is employed to predict customer satisfaction with a new product design in the freezer/refrigerator industry.     

Stochastic optimization on social networks with application to service pricing

In this paper we develop a combined simulation and optimization approach for solving difficult decision problems on complex dynamic networks. For a specific reference problem we consider a telecommunication service provider who offers a telecommunication service to a market with network effects. More particularly, the service consumption of an individual user depends on both idiosyncratic characteristics and the popularity of this service among the customer’s immediate neighborhood. Both the social network and the individual user preferences are largely heterogeneous and changing over time. In addition the service provider’s decisions are made in absence of perfect knowledge about user preferences. The service provider pursues the strategy of stimulating the demand by offering differentiated prices to the customers. For finding the optimal pricing we apply a stochastic quasi-gradient algorithm that is integrated with a simulation model that drives the evolution of the network and user preferences over time. We show that exploiting the social network structure and implementing differentiated pricing can substantially increase the revenues of a service provider operating on a social network. More generally, we show that stochastic gradient methods represent a powerful methodology for the optimization of decisions in social networks.

Modern analysis of customer satisfaction surveys: comparison of models and integrated analysis

Customer satisfaction is a key dimension driving business outcomes and performance of processes in service and product organizations. Measuring customer satisfaction is typically based on self‐declared or interview‐based questionnaires where users or consumers are asked to express opinions on statements, or satisfaction scales, mapping out various interactions with the service provider or product supplier. The topic has gained importance in recent years with researchers proposing new models and methods for designing, implementing, and analyzing customer satisfaction surveys. This paper builds on material presented in a recent edited book entitled Modern Analysis of Customer Satisfaction Surveys (Kenett and Salini, 2011). The book provides a comprehensive exposition of a variety of models that have all been applied to the same data set by leading experts. These models generate a variety of management insights. Combining models opens up opportunities for further research and applications. Specifically, we suggest that an integrated analysis, aggregating several approaches to survey data analysis, may prove effective in increasing the information quality derived from of a customer satisfaction survey.

Assessing e-Participation via user’s satisfaction measurement: the case of OurSpace platform

The field of e-Participation is expanding as many similar platforms have been created to elicit citizens’ opinions on political and social issues in modern democracies especially under political and economic crises. The development of the field has been supported by emerging web technologies such as social networking, data mining, sentiment analysis and collaborative systems. This paper presents a methodological framework to assess the main dimensions of an e-Participation system from the users’ perspective by measuring users’ satisfaction and highlighting its advantages and identifying its shortcomings in order to propose areas for improvement. The method refers to an e-Participation platform developed in the scope of the e-Participation project OurSpace. The evaluation framework of the project was realized through a questionnaire, suitably designed to be in line with the Whyte and Macintosh theory of three perspectives: social, technical and political. The assessment of the OurSpace platform was performed through the multi-criteria satisfaction analysis method. The method provided all satisfaction diagrams and indices so as to determine the users’ opinion about OurSpace e-Participation system and point out the needed actions towards improvement.     

Robust location of new housing developments using a choice model

We consider the issue of choosing a subset of locations to construct new housing developments maximizing the satisfaction of potential buyers, which has not been previously studied in the literature. The allocation of demands to the selected locations is modeled by a choice model, based on the distance to the location, real-estate prices and incomes. We study two robust counterparts of the optimal location problem, where uncertainty lies on demand volumes for the first one, and on customer preferences for the second one. In both cases, the parameters subject to uncertainty appear both in the objective function and constraints. The second robust model combines a scenario-based approach with nominal, price-centric and distance-centric scenarios on customers preferences, and an uncertainty budget approach that limits the number of customers that can deviate from the nominal scenario. We show that the subproblem of finding the worst-case deviation of parameters subject to uncertainty is tractable and leads to linear formulations of the robust problem. Computational experiments conducted on instances of the Paris region show that the average loss of value of the robust solution is reasonably low when compared to the optimal solution of deviated instances. We also derive insights for the new housing development issue.

Productivity and customer satisfaction in Swedish pharmacies: A DEA network model

This paper presents a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) network model that allows inclusion of customer satisfaction in efficiency and productivity measures. The network consists of a production node and a consumption node and offers flexibility in modelling the production and consumption process where a firm-specific allocation of input resources to production and customer oriented activities is allowed. The proposed model is applied on a sample of Swedish pharmacies with organizational objectives that necessitates a monitoring of efficiency and productivity as well as customer satisfaction. Estimation results from the network model and a direct productivity model (without customer satisfaction) are compared and indicate that the technical efficiency is lower under the network model. The productivity results indicate productivity progress under both models, albeit with a slower rate of change under the network model.
