CURRICULUM VITAE

Academic and Research Interests

w88 casino games' academic research focuses on customer loyalty and customer feedback. His dissertation resulted in a much-cited paper offering a typology of switching costs that lead consumers to exhibit loyal behavior with services despite their level of satisfaction with the service provider. His recent research has delved into the use and meaning of the ubiquitous survey question "How likely are you to recommend X to a friend or colleague?" (the ‘Net Promoter Score' customer feedback metric). He is exploring the topic of customer feedback broadly: Why and when consumers provide feedback to firms, how firms learn from customer feedback, and what types of feedback are used by what types of firms for what purposes. He is particularly interested in firm use of unstructured, unsolicited customer feedback such as suggestions, requests and complaints.
