Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to measure customer satisfaction in electronic retailing and analyse the situation of electronic retailer for recognising weak and strong points of a company's performance and also construct the satisfaction functions according to each criterion. Our research is based on an electronic retailing case study.

Using this model in our case study shows that: 1 quality of products is the most important criterion for customers; 2 the electronic retailing should keep website security, product quality and fulfilment activities in order to enhance customer satisfaction; 3 the satisfaction functions of most criteria are convex in most intervals.
