The share of retail trade in the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) was 22% in
the year 2010.
The dual objective of the present study is to examine the interrelationship
between various Retail Service Quality dimensions, which will help the retailers to
identify the steps needed to improve the overall quality of service. Hence, to have
methodological improvement in the present study by plugging out the loop holes of the
earlier studies, the studies pertaining to Retail Service Quality has been reviewed. In
the present chapter it is attempted to provide a brief sketch on the earlier studies
carried out in the area of retail service quality performance.
Customers are satisfied, when value meets or exceeds expectations. If their
expectations of value are not met, there is no chance of satisfying them. Figuring out
what the customers want, however, is a difficult and complex process. To be able to
create and deliver customer value is important to understand its components. On the
most basic level, value from a customer’s perspective is the ratio of benefits to the
risks being taken while buying the product.
NEED FOR THE STUDY
Customer is one for whom you satisfy a want or need in return for some of
payment. The payment may be money, may be time, or may be goodwill but there is
some form of payment. Satisfaction is the level of person felt state by comparing
products perceived in relation to the person’s expectations.Satisfaction level is
function of the differences between perceived performance and expectations. If the
performance falls short of expectation, the customer is not satisfied. If the performance
matches the expectations the customers are highly satisfied. If the performance is
beyond his expectation the customer is thrilled.

4. Customer satisfaction is customer’s positive or negative feeling about the value
that was perceived as a result of using particular organization’s offering in specific
used reaction to a series of use situation experience. According to P.F. Ducker, the
purpose of business is to create and retain a satisfied customer. A society supports
business because they serve its member’s by catering to their needs and leave them
satisfied. If the business dissatisfied its customer’s and not only these customer stop
availing service, but society at large will condemn the firm and may even penalize it to
the point of its extinction.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY

A retailer, typically, is someone who does not affect any significant change in the
product execs breaking the bulk. He/ She are also the final stock point who makes
products or services available to the consumer wheneverHence, the value proposition a
retailer offers to a consumer is easy availabilities of the desired product in the desired
sizes at the desired times. In the developed countries, the retail industry has developed
into a full-fledged industry where more than three-fourths of the total retail trade is
done by the organized sector.
Large retail formats, with high quality ambiance and courteous. Retailing is the
interface between the producer and the individual consumer buying for personal
consumption. Retailing is a well-recognized business function which compromises
making available desired product in the desired quantity at the desired time. This
creates a time, place and form utility for the consumer. The success of retailing is
highly dependent on an efficient supply chain management. Retail Sector can be
divided into organized and unorganized sectors: Unorganized Retail: Unorganized
retailing is characterized by a distorted real-estate market, poor infrastructure and
inefficient upstream processes, lack of modern inadequate funding and absence of

Retailing and Organized Retailing.
