Moments of Truth
We could say that the perceived quality is realized at the moment of truth, when
the service provider and the service customer confront one another in the
arena(ground, stadium). At that moment they are very much on their own It is
the skill, the motivation, and the tools employed by the firms representative and
the expectations and behavior of the client which together will create the service
delivery process. Richard Normann
