However, in the race for brand positioning with external customers many organisations tend to forget that their brand promise to the external customer is ultimately delivered by the employees. The paper explores the employee perception of internal branding in service organisations in India and tries to identify the gaps in internal branding practice. A single cross-sectional survey was administered to collect quantitative data from 162 employees across service organisations. This was supplemented by in-depth interviews with branding experts and practitioners. The study reveals that employees perceive a substantial gap in internal brand communication, internal brand awareness and internal branding efforts in organisations.","PeriodicalId":365774,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Services Sciences","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129145387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By employing a multiple-criteria decision-making model (MCDM), the study is an attempt to measure preference and thereby identify factors influencing the performance of government organisations and undertakings in India. Important factors that are likely to influence the performance of government organisations and undertakings, including those significant in the current scenario, have been considered. The data were collected from government organisations and undertakings representing different sectors to ensure that the selection of factors was unbiased and fairly accurate. A well-known method for prioritisation in case of MCDM known as analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been employed. The average value obtained for every criterion was used to prepare the paired comparison matrix. Results have showed that e-governance practices and process standardisation exhibit greater influence on the performance of government organisations as compared to the other factors.","PeriodicalId":365774,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Services Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125720373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to no-passing constraint, the customers can be categorised into two types: i) those who do not need service even waiting in the queue; ii) the customers having exponentially distributed service time. Furthermore, a customer is assumed to be discouraged looking into the length of the queue at the service station. Using birth death rate and corresponding product type solution, queue size distribution is established which is further employed to derive various performance indices namely expected waiting time, average number of customers in the system and the difference between the expected waiting time of both types of customers in the system. A numerical experiment for the comparison with analytic results is also facilitated.","PeriodicalId":365774,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Services Sciences","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116301509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each service provider tends to offer competitive packages in their quest to attract customers. Nevertheless, the purchase of mobile services indirectly is influenced by the customers and brand personality. Hence, brand personality management is a critical part of a company's marketing program in today's global market. Despite the importance of brand personality in academia and practice, very limited empirical research has examined the determinant roles of brand personality on actual consumer brand purchase, particularly mobile services. Given its great potential usability for marketers and brand managers, this study conceptualises and examines the impact of consumer personality on brand personality and its subsequent effect on the Malaysian consumers brand purchase, focusing specifically on mobile services purchase. The empirical evidence from the study suggests that the consumer personality's dimensions have significant relationship with the mobile services brand personality. However, the results of this study indicate no differentiation of impact for mobile services brand personality on the actual mobile services purchase.","PeriodicalId":365774,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Services Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122374514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we analyse detailed performance data from a large service provider that implemented a framework to enhance its process capability for services offshoring. We evaluate the extent to which process capability influences service delivery performance, and how the effect of process capability differs based on task complexity, process synergies, and length of experience with the new processes. Our results indicate that for non-complex tasks, service delivery performance improves significantly over time after new processes are introduced, particularly when process synergies are present. In contrast, for complex tasks there is an initial decline in performance after new processes are adopted. However, over time, performance on complex tasks increases at a faster rate than performance on non-complex tasks. Task complexity also reduces the effect of process synergies on performance, but this reduction attenuates over time.","PeriodicalId":365774,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Services Sciences","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132806059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can be transported using sea, rail or road transport. LP gas is available in a wide variety of packaging and storage options and is available in even the remotest of areas. LP gas is used throughout the home, as a gas to cook with, a source of fuel for central heating and hot water. LP gas is also commonly used in the agricultural sector and as a lower emission automotive transportation fuel Indian households are fully dependent on LPG cylinders. Therefore, attention needs to be diverted towards customers' perception on quality of supply of LPG gases and its related services so that distributors can focus on specific areas of concern to improve customer satisfaction. In this paper, attempt is made for concrete and measurable improvements in the service through an extensive study on customer's perception and various extents of the LPG gas supply.
