| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Conducted comparison of consumer behavior between India and Japan in terms of shopping processes at retailers and eat-out rxperiences, through specific reference to customer satisfaction and loyalty. Findings include 1)While Japanese consumers tend to shift their focal point of evaluation as the service process proceeds; from responsiveness to assurance and then to empathy, Indian consumers generally make much of all elements at the same time and do not change their focus, 2)Indian consumers are more likely than the Japanese counterparts to become loyal when satisfied with the experienced service. Implications are methodological appropriateness of this study, and the possibilities for feasibility study on consumers before developing business in emerging markets. These findings and implications were presented at academic conferences in Miami and Seattle, and published in a professional journal.
