Product Description

Review
David B. Luther

Senior Vice President, Corporate Director -- Quality, Corning Incorporated

In this pathbreaking book, the authors have taken the little-understood notion of service quality and broken it down into very well-defined, manageable increments that are tightly linked to customer perceptions. Everyone concerned with quality, in any form, needs to read and understand "Delivering Quality Service."



Product Description
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fundamental on service quality modelling, 25 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Although somewhat outdated in 1999, this is still a fundamental work on SERVQUAL, a measurement tool for service quality. Criticized and praised all over the world, this book provides the old model of the SERVQUAL tool. Very useful is the GAP analysis for hurdles on the way to excellent service quality and the chapters on how to get started. The authors draw on extensive research and promise no rose garden but hard work to get among the excellent businesses. The book is useful to understand and interpret the SERVQUAL tool. Limitations or expansions are suggested and allow to customize the tool for personal use.
