 Gap Business Model:

8. Loyalty Industry
 The Gap service quality model:
 The model shows the five major satisfaction gaps that organizations must
address when seeking to meet customer expectations. The model was first
proposed by A. Parasuraman, Valarie Zeithaml, and Leonard L. Berry in 1985.
 Customer:
Customer satisfaction can also be high even with mediocre performance quality if
the customer's expectations are low, or if the performance provides value
(that is, it is priced low to reflect the mediocre quality).
Likewise, a customer can be dissatisfied with the service encounter and still
perceive the overall quality to be good. This occurs when a quality service is
priced very high and the transaction provides little value.
 Company:
Gap 1: Knowledge Gap:
The knowledge gap is the difference between the customer’s expectations of
the service and the company’s provision of that service. Essentially, this gap
arises because management doesn’t know exactly what customers expect.
There are a number of reasons this could happen, including: Lack of
management and customer interaction. Lack of communication between
service employees and management. Insufficient market research.
Insufficient relationship focus. Failure to listen to customer complaints.
Gap 2: The Policy Gap:
The policy gap is the difference between management’s understanding of
the customer needs and the translation of that understanding into service
delivery policies and standards.
 There are a number of reasons why this gap can occur:
 Lack of customer service standards.
 Poorly defined service levels.
 Failure to regularly update service level standards.
Gap 3: The Delivery Gap:
The delivery gap is the difference between service delivery policies and
standards and the actual delivery of the service. This gap can occur for a number
of reasons: Deficiencies in human resources policies. Failure to match supply to
demand. Employee lack of knowledge of the product. Lack of cohesive teamwork
to deliver the product or service.
Gap 4: The Communication Gap:
The communication gap is the gap between what gets promised to customers
through advertising and what gets delivered. Again. there are a number of
reasons why this can happen: Overpromising. Viewing external communications
as separate to what’s going on internally. Insufficient communications between
the operations and advertising teams. Communication gaps lead to customer
dissatisfaction. This happens because what they receive isn’t what they were
promised. In the worst case, it may cause them to turn to an alternative supplier.
Gap 5: The Customer Gap
The customer gap is the difference between customer expectations and
customer perceptions. This gap occurs because customers do not always
understand what the service has done for them or they misinterpret the service
quality.

 Some of the Business Model
 Expanded models:
 Schlesinger and Heskett (1991) added employee loyalty to the basic customer loyalty model. They developed the concepts of "cycle of
success" and "cycle of failure". In the cycle of success, an investment in your employees’ ability to provide superior service to
customers can be seen as a virtuous circle. Effort spent in selecting and training employees and creating a corporate culture in which
they are empowered can lead to increased employee satisfaction and employee competence. This will likely result in superior service
delivery and customer satisfaction. This in turn will create customer loyalty, improved sales levels, and higher profit margins. Some
of these profits can be reinvested in employee development thereby initiating another iteration of a virtuous cycle.
 Fred Reichheld (1996) expanded the loyalty business model beyond customers and employees. He looked at the benefits of obtaining
the loyalty of suppliers, employees, bankers, customers, distributors, shareholders, and the board of directors.
 Duff and Einig (2015) expanded the model to debt issuers and credit ratings agencies to investigate what role commitment plays in
issuer-CRA relations.
