Answer all the bullet points in a well written paragraph or two below:
This article fits into my research by providing statistics and evidence to prove that the quality of a product and
how it is transferred affects the overall satisfaction of a customer. This source is extremely helpful as it provides crucial
reinforcement of the claim that quality correlates with satisfaction. I could potentially use this source as a means of
evidence and proof to explain this important part of business to the audience. The author defines Total Quality
Management as “a strategy used by organizations to provide excellent service which shows that when service quality
assessment is positive, it is the customers' desirable behavioural intentions that strengthen their relationship with the
service provider” She also defines customer satisfaction as “the customer's perception of the degree to which the
customer's stated or implied needs or expectations have been fulfilled”. These are both vital to my research in that they
define the two essential terms which I will further discuss.
