Indian BPO Industry losing its sheen & continue to face tough challenges in 2013Rajesh Prabhakar
The Indian BPO industry is facing tough challenges in 2013 as cost advantages decline and margins shrink. Growth has slowed to 12.47% over the last four years compared to 17.23% for the IT industry. BPO firms are struggling with reduced client spending, high attrition rates, and wage inflation pressures. Emerging low-cost destinations like the Philippines are also competing successfully for outsourcing business. Indian BPO companies must improve their service offerings and move up the value chain to consulting and analytics to boost margins in this difficult year.
The Indian BPO industry has grown rapidly in recent years and is expected to continue growing. It currently accounts for 5-6% of the global BPO market but 63% of the offshore market. The Indian BPO industry is concentrated in 7 major cities which account for 90% of employment. However, these cities now face issues like infrastructure saturation and high real estate costs. To sustain growth, the industry will need to focus on non-linear growth, moving up the value chain, and increasing domestic market share which has grown at 50% over the past 5 years.
India is emerging as a global hub for business process outsourcing (BPO). The BPO industry is expected to contribute significantly to India's GDP and employment. It will provide economic growth and job opportunities. BPO is growing in India due to factors like lower costs and high quality English-speaking workforce. The government is also supporting the BPO industry through incentives and infrastructure development. If current growth continues, the BPO industry has potential to generate substantial revenues and jobs for Indians in the coming years.

It highlights how the industry has grown from providing low-cost outsourcing services to developing world-class capabilities in areas like software development, project management, and domain expertise. The summary also notes that the industry is expected to cross $100 billion in revenue by 2011 but still faces challenges around skill shortages, rising wages, and currency appreciation.

The Indian IT sector is facing challenges with slowing growth rates and increased competition. Revenue growth for major Indian IT companies like Infosys and Wipro has been disappointing, with Infosys missing guidance for FY12 and lowering guidance for FY13. Growth in key markets like the US and Europe has remained moderate or those economies have slipped back into recession, slowing client decision-making. In addition, the Indian IT sector faces increased competition from global players establishing operations in India as well as new providers in emerging markets.
Globally internet has changed the way in which businesses were performed traditionally. Developed countries have benefited from implementing e-commerce. But, in case of emerging economies like India the adoption of e-commerce has been very slow due to challenges posed by a number of barriers. In India, though the large corporations have adopted e-commerce and successfully explored the business opportunities, the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are yet to benefit from adopting e-commerce. This presentation reflects on the barriers that the SMEs face in India in process of adoption of e-commerce. It analyses both the external and internal factors that affect the adoption of e-commerce. In the end recommendations are also mentioned.

"Heart failure is a typical clinical accompanied by symptoms syndrome (e.g. shortness of breath, ankle swelling and fatigue) that lead to structural or functional abnormalities of the heart (e.g. high venous pressure, pulmonary edema and peripheral edema).
In recent years, the significant role of B-type natriuretic peptide has been revealed in the pathogenesis of heart disease and the use of the drug sacubitril/valsartan has started. It has a positive effect on the regulation of the level of B-type natriuretic peptide in the body. It is obviously seen from the the world literature that natriuretic peptides play an important role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. For this reason, many studies suggest that the importance of natriuretic peptides in the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure is recommended.
Due to this, we tried to investigate the effects of a comprehensive medication therapy with a combination of sacubitril/valsartan in the patients with chronic heart failure."

This document analyzes the polarization and transmission effects of antireflection coatings for silicon-on-insulator (SOI) material systems using simulation software. Without a coating, transmission of transverse magnetic (TM) polarized light is slightly higher than transverse electric (TE) polarized light. A single-layer antireflection coating is designed and optimized to increase average transmission by 19%, reducing the polarization effect. However, multilayer coatings did not further increase transmission over the optimized single layer. In conclusion, antireflection coatings can effectively reduce polarization dependence for SOI materials while improving overall light transmission.
This document proposes a new method called multi-surface fitting for enhancing the resolution of digital images. The method fits multiple surfaces, with one surface fitted for each low-resolution pixel, and then fuses the multi-sampling values from these surfaces using maximum a posteriori estimation. This allows more low-resolution pixel information to be utilized to reconstruct the high-resolution image compared to other interpolation-based methods. The method is shown to effectively preserve image details without requiring assumptions about the image prior, as iterative techniques do. It provides error-free high resolution for test images.

This document discusses T.S. Eliot's concept of literary tradition and the importance of allusions. Eliot believed that tradition is not just inheriting the past, but achieving a historical sense that perceives the past as both past and present. An artist must have a strong background in their cultural and literary history. Eliot argued that when a new work is allusive to past works, it positively affects the whole literature of a country. The use of allusions is an important way for authors to maintain literary tradition by referencing ideas from previous works. The document provides details on Eliot's views and analyzes how later critics interpreted and applied his concept of the historical sense.
This document discusses load balancing strategies for grid computing. It proposes a dynamic tree-based model to represent grid architecture in a hierarchical way that supports heterogeneity and scalability. It then develops a hierarchical load balancing strategy and algorithms based on neighborhood properties to decrease communication overhead. Conventional scheduling algorithms like Min-Min, Max-Min, and Sufferage are discussed but determined to ignore dynamic network status, which is important for load balancing. Genetic algorithms are also mentioned as a potential solution.
This document proposes a new zone-based bandwidth allocation protocol for wireless networks. The key points are:
1. It divides the network into zones based on hop count from the initial relay station, and allocates bandwidth to each zone to improve quality of service.
2. Within each zone, the bandwidth allocated is distributed to mobile users based on their visiting probability and required bandwidth. This aims to maximize the average user satisfaction rate.
3. The protocol is evaluated through simulations using the Network Simulator 2 (NS2) tool. Results show the protocol improves bandwidth allocation efficiency and reduces quality of service degradation compared to other approaches.
- The burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which acts as a greenhouse gas and traps heat. This is the main human activity contributing to global climate change.
- As carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere increase due to fossil fuel burning, more heat gets trapped leading to a rise in average global temperatures, a phenomenon known as global warming.
- Climate change has both natural and human-caused factors. Natural causes include changes in the Earth's orbit and solar activity, while the dominant human cause is burning fossil fuels which releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
This document summarizes research assessing the performance of control loops using a minimum variance control algorithm (FCOR) and comparing it to an existing algorithm (PINDEX). The researchers implemented both algorithms in MATLAB to analyze simulated process data from MATLAB/Simulink models with and without valve stiction. They also analyzed process data from an Aspen HYSIS simulation of a distillation column. Across all the simulations and models, the FCOR and PINDEX algorithms produced generally similar results, indicating the control loops were performing poorly in cases where the performance index values were close to 0. The research thus validated that the developed FCOR algorithm worked effectively to evaluate control loop performance based on minimum variance.

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

Abstract: This study is done to analyze the impact of perceived service quality on customer loyalty in IT sector of India.
Parasuraman in his initial study carried out in 1988 determined five dimensions which became base for the measurement
of perceived service quality. Perceived service quality is deemed to be independent variable while customer loyalty was
treated as a dependent variable. The later could however be measured by 13 items which was previously proposed by
Zeithaml (1996). Reliability, empathy, competence of staff, accessibility and tangibles are the key factors that best explains
customer’s expectations. A SERVQUAL scale was used to measure service quality perceptions from the perspective of
domestic and international customers. Data were collected in 15 outlets of IT service providers, using a self-administered
questionnaire. Descriptive statistical analysis, exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis were conducted. This
study reveals that the expectation level of customers is very high towards service quality. Thus, the findings can be used as
a guide for IT industry to improve the quality attributes and enhance service quality and business performance which in
turn will improve the trust and loyalty of customers. More specifically, it is found that the empathy dimension is the
strongest predictor of customer loyalty.

1. Introduction
A service is a set of singular and perishable benefits
delivered from the accountable service provider,
mostly in close coaction with service suppliers,
generated by functions of technical systems and by
distinct activities of individuals according to the
needs of service consumers [14]. Studies reveal that
the contribution of the services sector to the Indian
economy has been assorted 55.2 per cent share in
gross domestic product (GDP), growing by 10 per
cent annually, causative to about a quarter of total
employment, accounting for a high share in foreign
direct investment (FDI) inflows. India continues to
be the dominant player in the global outsourcing
sector. However, its future will depend on how the
challenges related to its continued competitiveness
are tackled. These include increasing competition,
rising costs, talent shortfall, infrastructure
constraints, increasing risk perception,
protectionism in key markets, and deteriorating
business environment.
IT and ITeS sector added laurels to India by gaining
a brand identity as a knowledge economy. The IT
industry has four major components: IT services,
business process outsourcing (BPO), engineering
services and R&D, and software products. The
growth in the services sector in India has been led
by the IT-ITeS sector which has become a growth
engine for the economy, contributing substantially
to increases in the GDP, employment, and exports.
This sector has improved its contribution to India’s
GDP from 4.1 per cent in 2004-05 to 6.1 per cent in
2009-10 and an estimated 6.4 per cent in 2010-11.
In early 2004-05 growth of IT industry was nearly
negligible in India. According to NASSCOM, the
year 2010-11 is characterized by broad-based
growth across mature and emerging [10] verticals.
The overall Indian IT-ITeS generated revenue grew
to US $ 63.7 billion in 2009-10 and an estimated US
$ 76.1 billion in 2010-11. Exports lead the IT &
ITeS industry, and compose about 77 per cent of
total industry revenue. Total IT-ITeS exports have
grown from US$ 17.7 billion in 2004-05 to US $
49.7 billion in 2009-10 and an estimated US $ 58.9
billion in 2010-11 registering a CAGR of 22.2 per
cent from 2004-05 to 2010-11.
In this period exports had vastly influenced the
market and which filled the new blood in veins
drowning industry. Simultaneously domestic market
shown its significant contribution which was
revealed by the facts that the revenue growth of US
$ 14 billion in 2009-10 and an estimated revenue of
US $ 17.2 billion in 2010-11. The IT and BPO
industry witnessed a quick rebound in growth and
has been estimated to have grown by 19.5 per cent,
aggregating revenues of US$ 76.1 billion in 2010-
11 with exports at US$ 58.9 billion accounting for a

major portion
This sector has also led to employment generation.
Direct employment in the IT services and BPO/ITeS
segment was 2.3 million in 2009-10 and is
estimated to reach nearly 2.5 million by the end of
financial year 2010-11. Indirect employment of over
8.3 million job opportunities is also expected to be
generated due to the growth of this sector in 2010-
11. These jobs have been generated in diverse fields
such as commercial and residential real estate, retail
[13], hospitality, transportation, and security.
This sector has also received immense support of
Government. This was continued in the 2010-11
Budget with policies like Government expenditure
for improving IT infrastructure and delivery
mechanism, reduction in surcharge from 10 per cent
to 7.5 per cent for IT companies and Government’s
E-Governance plan. There are certain subjects in the
IT-ITeS sector which needs consequent attention.
These include jerky flow of services from low-end
to high end services like programming in the light
of competition in BPO from other countries and
policies in some developed countries like UK to
employ locals; data protection issues as half of
offshore work does not come to India; concluding
final agreements with target countries to resolve the
social security benefits issue as is being done now;
and increasing the coverage and depth of IT and
ITeS services in the domestic sector..
Over the past years, organizations and individuals in
various places in the world have felt the benefits of
Internet which has evolved highly. The Economic
Survey 2011-12 presented that the Services Sector
continues to remain growth engine for Indian
Economy. The Economic Survey points out that the
Services Sector grew by 9.4% which was little
higher than in the previous year. In order to have
right to use the internet and enjoy its features,
consumer needs an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The organization that provides its customers with
direct connections to the Internet and thus endow
with full access of internet services to anyone
possessing a computer and a modem is known as
ISP. Thus who so ever then needed internet
connection has to choose an ISP for the same.
IT and ITeS and Construction Services express no
cause for worry despite a slight moderation in
services growth. This moderation is due to the steep
fall in growth of public administration and defense
services reflecting fiscal consolidation.
The giants of industries like Ericsson, Apple,
Hewlett-Packard and Siemens are recognizing the
opportunity of fast growing service industry and
profit through services. The fast developing
technologies and increasing competition make it
difficult to gain strategic competitive advantage
through physical products alone. In present era
customers are becoming more demanding. Now
customers not expect excellent, high-quality goods
and technology, they also expect high levels of
customer service and total service solutions along
with them. At Siemens, the Business Services
division was established in 1995 as an international
full-service provider of information and
communication technology solutions and services.
In outsourcing and IT maintenance, it is one of the
world’s top 10 suppliers with worldwide sales of 5.4
billion euros (2005). Technology giant Dell offers
virtually all its customer service and ordering
functions to its business customers via technology.
Over 90 per cent of its transactions with customers
are completed online. Jamjar.com, owned by the
Royal Bank of Scotland Group, sells new cars
online. This all shows how fast the world is getting
digital. This will save the time and energy of
customers and suppliers as well. Consequently, in
India the boost up in the number of people using
internet leads to increase in the number of ISP in the
market. Nevertheless, now it is inadequate to simply
provide a service to customers, because what was
referred fine enough in the past is not sufficient
now.
Switching barriers are now loosing up and so
whenever any service customer feels unsatisfied or
partially satisfied he/she immediately starts
searching for options to switch. Adrian Payne stated
much earlier in his studies that most of the
companies pay attention only of attracting ne w
customers rather than retaining the present
customers. At an average a company loses 10 to 30
percent of customers every year. However to
overcome such circumstances, relationship building
strategies [8], service recovery attributes are
becoming popular these days. So, instead of
targeting to acquire new customers, making loyal
customers can help an organization survive in this
competition. Indeed, any service organization that
wants to survive and gain a competitive advantage
needs to care about its customers. For this reason, it
is important for a service organization to understand
its customers, to be aware of their needs and
expectations, and of course to know how they
perceive the quality of the service provided to them.
Perceived service quality [16] and customer loyalty
[11] themselves are vast domain. These concepts
have been investigated separately with the purpose
of understanding each term alone. Gaining loyal
customers and providing high service quality [18]
have been considered as important issues for the
continuous success of any company but due to lack
of studies there is less interaction of these two
concepts, especially in the ISP industry. In order to
attain the loyalty [15] of customers, company has to
understand the facts on which it has to focus to gain
competitive advantage.
Firms are repeatedly looking for new ways to gain
strong competitive position in the marketplace and
due to increased competition customers look over
demanding. Companies may provide better quality

than their competitors since according to Lorenzo
customers remain faithful to companies providing
quality service systematically. However, to provide
a better quality service, it is significant to find out
how service quality is perceived by customers and
what do they mean by quality because the problem
that most companies tackle is how to offer quality
service that will lead to customer loyalty. Thus,
studying perceived service quality [2] and exploring
its effect on customer loyalty may help
organizations in surviving strong competition.
Taking ISP into consideration differentiating
oneself and standing unique in industry become
difficult consistency of the service become an
important issue. This is due to the fact that
organizations allot substantial resources to assess
and check quality in order to gain customer loyalty.
Accordingly, the significance of this study arises
from the fact that it provides useful and valuable
information to any ISP in India which is interested
in making success from loyal customers.
2. Literature Review
Internet access came into India in the early 90’s.
The ERNet (Educational and Research Network), a
division of Department of Electronics (DoE), and
NICNet (Department of Statistics) made the initial
inroads in this field. VSNL was first ISP player in
India and were doing quite well in providing the
essential Internet services to an Internet-starved
India. Satyam Infoway Ltd. is the first private sector
ISP in India after October 1998. Internet services
market in India is expected to witness a healthy
growth in coming years also as Internet subscribers
in the country are projected to grow at a CAGR of
around 56% during 2010-11 - 2013-14. At present
10.2 percent of Indian population that is
121,000,000 uses internet in India. Well, from a
meager 25,000 users in 1998 it has grown to 100
million users. Though it is hardly 10% of the Indian
population it still puts India at number 3 in world
Internet users after China and the United States.
Recent study done by ComScore highlights that the
worldwide online audience has jumped 7%, with
Asia-Pacific markets adding more than 40 million
users. India has been identified as the fastest
growing online market during the same period, with
a 41% rise.
a. IT industry and software contribution towards
Indian Service Economy: The Indian software
industry is mainly export-oriented. The industry
garners around 60-70 per cent of the total revenue
from its two largest markets, namely the US and
Europe. The economic slowdown in these major
export destinations led to a deceleration in growth
of sales of the Indian software industry to 5.9 per
cent. However, sales are expected to grow at 16.9
per cent and 17.8 per cent, respectively during
2010-11 and 2011-12 due to higher client additions
and an uptick in billing rates.
b. Internet and Broadband: The Internet, which is
another growing mode of communication, is a
worldwide system of computer networks.
Broadband is often called ‘high speed Internet,
because it usually has a high rate of data
transmission. Broadband subscribers grew from
0.18 million in 2005 to 10.71 million as at the end
of November 2010. The number of Internet and
broadband subscribers is expected to increase to 40
million and 20 million, respectively by 2010.
Introduction of BWA (Broadband Wireless Access)
services will enhance the penetration as well as
growth of broadband subscribers. Wi Max has also
been making headway in penetration of wireless
broadband connectivity across all sectors.
It was revealed in a research that 75% of the internet
audience in India to be aged 35 years and below,
promising to make it the youngest online population
in the coming years. Females formed 39.3% of the
total audience, and the sharpest growth was
observed among male and female segments in the
age-group 15 to 24.
Indeed, the quality of service is sometimes more
important for customers than the cost of acquiring
that service. Thus calls a need for the organizations
to focus on providing customers with the highest
possible level of quality. Based on past experiences
brand image, word-of-mouth communication and
proper evaluation of their own needs, customers
create expectations of the service which they are
willing to purchase.
SERVQUAL, the 22-item scale developed by
Parasuraman is considered one of the most widely
used instruments in the measurement of service
quality[4] and is based on fives dimensions[7]:
Tangibles: physical facilities, equipment, and
appearance of personnel.
Reliability: ability to perform the promised
service dependably
Responsiveness: willingness to help customers
and provide prompt service.
Assurance: knowledge, courtesy of employee,
ability to inspire trust and confidence.
Empathy: caring, individualized attention that
the firm provides its customers.
The concept of attitudinal loyalty follows the
cognitive school of thought where cognitive
researchers focus on the role of processes in
defining loyalty. Conceptualizations have changed
over years to become more meaningful, including
both attitudinal (psychological) and behavioral
dimensions of loyalty [5]. The most effective
business effort available to organizations which
want to gain customer loyalty stated that when the
service provided is Internet, it is not sufficient to
measure network performance to determine the

quality of the service perceived by the user because
they are different construct and are measured
differently. Based on above discussion, this study
has led to the following hypotheses:
H1: Impact of perceived service quality in term of
tangibles on customer loyalty.
H2: Impact of perceived service quality in term of
reliability on customer loyalty.
H3: Impact of perceived service quality in term of
responsiveness on customer loyalty.
H4: Impact of perceived service quality in term of
assurance on customer loyalty.
H5: Impact of perceived service quality in term of
empathy on customer loyalty.
3. Research Methodology
3.1 Population, Sample, and Data Collection
The population of this study consists of internet
subscribers. Indeed, the data was mostly filled by
the VSNL and BSNL subscribers who were found
out in premises of these offices and internet
subscribers as they came to pay their bills at its
different sales shops. VSNL has huge list of
subscribers and authenticity of data from such
sources is most acceptable. It was difficult to have
access to information (e.g. emails or mobile
numbers) that could help in contacting or reaching
customers because of privacy and security issues.
Moreover, the sample size for a population
consisting of 291067 subscribers must be 384.
500 questionnaire were distributed out of which
number of questionnaires returned was 443 and 420
were found to be valid.
3.2 Measures
The research is quantitative in nature. The items
selected to measure the concepts of perceived
service quality and customer loyalty were primarily
derived and taken from literature. Perceived service
quality was measured using five dimensions
(tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance,
and empathy) of SERVQUAL. The perceived
service quality was measured using a five-point
rating scale rating from one: 'strongly disagree' to
five: 'strongly agree'.
4. Data Analysis
In order to examine the research hypotheses, the
data collected through the questionnaire distributed
to the customers were analyzed.
4.2 Respondent’s Profile
The respondents for this study were asked to give
information about their gender, age, education level,
and family status. The data reveals number of male
is more than female which imply that men use
internet more. There is no significant impact or
marital status of respondents as both have similar
fashion of using internet and probably time of using
in both types of respondents affects [12] less.
4.1 Hypothesis Testing
Research study was started by multi-co linearity
diagnosis for testing hypothesis which was done
using Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) and tolerance
value. The tolerance values range between 0.4 and
0.5 which are above 0.2. This suggests that the
hypothesis does not suffer multi-co linearity
problem in the regression model. The results as
shown in table are all below 0.75 and thus do not
suggest high correlation between the variables.
Then after multiple regressions analysis was used to
test the hypotheses. Customer loyalty was entered as
the dependent variable and perceived service quality
(tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance,
and empathy) as the independent variables.

Assurance .116 2.025 .044
Tangibles .173 3.507 .001
Empathy .264 5.497 .000
With reference to the table above, F = 85.163 and p-
value = 0.000. As p-value is smaller than the level
of significance (0.05), all the hypotheses are
accepted at p < 0.05 significance level. Hence, there
is a statically significant impact of perceived service
quality (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness,
assurance, and empathy) on customer loyalty.
Perceived service quality had been considered by
many researchers as a determinant or antecedent
[3]of customer loyalty. Therefore, the findings are
consistent with the results found in numerous
previous studies.
The adjusted R Square's value of (0.5) indicates the
proportion of the variance in the criterion variable
and shows about 50% of the variance in customer
loyalty. Besides perceived service quality; there
may be different factors which influence customer
loyalty. Thus, perceived service quality explained to
a relatively good extent the variance in customer
loyalty[1] in the ISP industry. The t and sig. (which
is known as p-value) values, as shown in table I,
give a rough indication of the impact of each
predictor variable. A big absolute t value and small
p value suggests that a predictor variable is having a
large impact on the criterion variable. The results
show that all perceived service quality dimensions
have a significant impact on customer loyalty. Also,
the standardized beta coefficient is a measure of the
contribution of each predictor or how strongly each
predictor variable influences the criterion variable.
A large value indicates a large effect on the criterion
variable. The strongest predictor for customer

loyalty is empathy, achieving a of 0.264, followed
by tangibles (=0.173), reliability (=0.172), and
responsiveness (=0.127). The last factor
influencing customers loyalty towards their ISP is
assurance (=0.116). In various researches of past
reliability is considered to be the most important
and tangibles the least important service quality
dimensions with respect to customer loyalty.
5. Conclusion
The fast growing world and excessive contribution
of Service industry in our economy compels us to
satisfy the customer. This however could be done if
service provider understands the perceptions [17] of
customers because it relates strongly to the
continual survival, as well as the future growth and
development of organizations. The results of
multiple regression analysis shows that perceived
service quality [8] dimensions have a important
impact on customer loyalty.
5.1 Applications
This study enables others to recognize the effect of
perceived service quality on customer loyalty in
ISPs in India. Since availability of data was limited
so efforts were done that study may not deviate the
field and may not get affected but the available
survey reports of other countries. In addition
multidimensional perspective was also taken into
count during study of customer perception of
service quality and service loyalty [6].
In addition to the theoretical development, the
findings further can be utilized for the expansion
and implementation of practices that will lead to
loyal customers. This may help corporate decision
makers in an exact evaluation of service loyalty and
optimization of allocation of resources. This enables
managers to be aware of how customer perception
of service quality affects customer loyalty and then
identify the characteristics of these effects.
5.2 Limitations and Recommendations
Since the population of this analysis is very huge,
the data were not easily available and it was tough
to have access to information that could help in
contacting or getting specific customers because of
solitude and safekeeping issues. Therefore, this
study used convenience sampling, and this might
lead one to question the ability to generalize the
findings. Thus, for future researches probability
sampling technique like stratified random sampling
techniques are recommended. Thus due to similarity
of the ISPs' procedure, purpose, services provided
and the same organizational and cultural
environment allows for the possibility that the
results of this study can be further utilized to other
ISPs in India.
Since the results of this study are based on
customers' perceptions of service quality only,
future researches should investigate the comparison
between customers' and service providers'
perceptions of service quality.
