The Relationships among Involvement Level, Service Failure, Service Recovery Disconfirmation and Customer Lifetime Value

Abstract

Abstract-Because service failure can't be fully avoided in the process transmission, understanding the service failure severity and their impact on customer responses and designing effective recovery strategies have been recognized as important problems by both service researchers and practitioners.

Analysis also indicates that both service recovery expectation and service recovery performance significantly affect service recovery disconfirmation. Last, service recovery disconfirmation also influences customer lifetime value significantly.Index Terms-Involvement, service failure, children english learning material, service recovery disconfirmation, customer lifetime value.
