Abstract

Mobile telecommunication companies in Korea provide numerous mobile data service. However, efforts to improve customer satisfaction of mobile data service through customers' expectations measurements based customers' requirements are insufficient. In this article, we collected Voice Of Customer (VOC) through Focused Group Interview and converted the VOC data in relation to the quality attributes of eight major mobile data services. To determine the quality attributes, a Quality Function Deployment framework was applied. Finally, we measured customer expectation level of key quality attributes that affect customers' satisfaction by psychophysics experiments, usability tests, benchmarking and questionnaire.
