SERVQUAL Model

-


SERVQUAL or Service Quality is an approach to manage the business processes so as to ensure full satisfaction of the customers by providing high-quality services. It is a framework developed by Zeithaml, Parasuraman & Berry in the eighties, aiming at measuring the scale of quality in service sectors.

SERVQUAL was originally measured on 10 aspects of service quality and later on reduced to 5 to measure the gap between customer expectations and experience.  These gaps are caused by various factors like not knowing the customer’s expectations, using the wrong service quality standards, service performance gap, etc. The 5 SERVQUAL dimensions used for assessing the service quality include Responsiveness, Assurance, Tangibles, Empathy and Reliability (R-A-T-E-R).

Initially designed for the use of service firms and retailers, the SERVQUAL model became widely discussed when it comes to customer satisfaction and service quality. But it takes a much more broader perspective of service rather than limiting it to a simple customer service.

The unique characteristics of services like intangibility and heterogeneity make it hard for firms to assess the quality levels of their services when compared to physical goods. With the development of the SERVQUAL model, firms got a structured approach to assess the factors influencing consumer’s perception about the quality of services being offered.

SERVQUAL method involves conducting a sample survey of customers to understand their perceived needs and requirements. These answers are marked based on the 5 dimensions. It is then measured to conduct an assessment of the gap between the desired and actual performance of the company. The company then focuses on its resources wherever necessary in order to maximize the service quality while controlling costs.

Credit Crunch

An economic condition where investment capital is hard to secure is referred to as a credit crunch. Investors and banks become wary of lending funds to corporations and individuals which drives up the price of debt products for borrowers. It is often an extension of a recession and a credit crunch makes it almost impossible for companies to borrow as lenders are scared about instances like bankruptcies or defaults which could lead to high rates. It is also known as a credit squeeze or credit crisis and occurs independently of a sudden change in the rates of interest. Individuals and businesses that could earlier obtain loans to expand operations or to finance major purchases suddenly end up unable to acquire such funds. This effect can be felt throughout the entire economy because of a drop in homeownership rates and businesses being forced to cut back because of capital shortage. The credit crunch is often followed by a period where lenders are too lenient in offering c...
