David M. Szymanski and David H. Henard4(2001) in their study entitled, �The New
Marketing Developing Long-term Interactive Relationships� have said that the
growing number of academic studies on customer satisfaction and the mixed findings
they report complicate the efforts among managers and academics to identify
theantecedents to, and outcomes of businesses having more against less-satisfied
customers. These mixed findings and the growing emphasis by managers on having
satisfied customers point to the value of empirically synthesizing the evidence on
customer satisfaction to assess current knowledge. To achieve this aim, the authors
conducted a meta-analysis of the reported findings on customer satisfaction. They
have documented that equity and disconfirmation are most strongly related to
customer satisfaction on average.
Robert C. Ford, Cherill P. Heaton and Stephen W. Brown6 (2001) in their article
titled, �Delivering Excellent Service Lessons from the Best Firms� have stated that
many companies see investments in complaint handling as means of increasing
customer commitment and building customer loyalty.However, firms are not well
informed, on how to deal successfully with service failures or the impact of
complaint handlingstrategies. They have supported a quasi �brand equity�
perspective-whereas satisfaction with complaint handling has a direct impact on
trust and commitment, to a limited extent, on the effects of poor complaint
handling. Implications for managers and scholars have also been discussed.
Wilska7(2001) in his paper titled, �New Technology and Young People?s Consumer
Identities: A Comparative Study between Finland and Brazil� has found that among
young people aged 16-20, it was found that mobile phones choice and especially
usage is consistent with respondents general consumption styles. The research has
indicated that addictive use is common among females and is related to trendy and
impulsive consumption styles. Instead, males have been found to have more
technology enthusiasm and trend-consciousness. These attributes have been then
linked to impulsive consumption. The study concludes that genders are becoming more
alike in telecom service choice because individual differences in consumption
patterns are obviously identifiable.
S.Krishnan14 (2004) in his survey titled, �Net Profit Surges 123 per cent in Q3�
has stated that Bharti had 31.9 million mobile users at the end of 2006 compared to
16 million at the end of 2005. Its broadband and telephone subscriber�s base grew

was created in 1969 as a division of the mammoth Korean chaebol Samsung Group. The
unit was established as a means of getting Samsung into the burgeoning television
and consumer electronics industry. The division's first product was a small and
simple black-and-white television that it began selling in the early 1970s. From
that product, Samsung Electronics gradually developed a diverse line of consumer
electronics that it first sold domestically, and later began exporting. The company
also began branching out into color televisions, and later into a variety of
consumer electronics and appliances. By the 1980s, Samsung was manufacturing,
shipping, and selling a wide range of appliances and electronic products throughout
the world.
