Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry's Extended Model of Service Quality has received a great deal of attention in various disciplines. Nearly all the work on this model has addressed either the dimensionality of the consumer service perceptions or the way in which the model measures quality. Only one work has been identified that addressed the internal components of their model. It is critical that organizations understand the internal factors that affect the delivery of a high quality service experience. This research subjects the internal constructs identified by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry to a factor analysis study in the lodging industry. This research found that the employee factors did not function as proposed. New factors are identified based on exploratory factor analysis anda comparison of the two models is presented.

Service quality is still a new concept to those who works in shipping lines services since it has not been identified as a mandatory factor to increase the competitiveness. Most carriers are currently offering services at the same level of price, transit time, equipment, etc. Thus offering a high quality service is the best way for a carrier to differentiate itself from its competitors in the market. The research aims to conduct an assessment on service quality at Wan Hai Lines outbound services based on the SERVQUAL model, form of dimension-by-dimension analysis. The outcome is the service quality of Wan Hai Lines outbound services can be identified by three dimension Empathy and Responsiveness, Assurance, and Reliability.

In the hospitality industry, customers are seen as the key driving a business’s survival and success. The industry is therefore highly competitive and much more aware of the provision of quality service to meet customer expectations. Since hotel businesses are providing similar superior facilities among competitors in the market, service quality has been considered as the first priority and essential part of the organisational culture, making today’s businesses more concerned with delighting their customers than simply satisfying them [1]. Consequently, Total Quality Management (TQM) is becoming a widely used business management strategy within the hospitality industry. The intent of this essay focuses on the issue of service quality with the selected hotel - The Portman Ritz Carlton, Shanghai. It will first introduce TQM theory and then discuss how the approach helps to generate and maintain high quality service to achieve “customer delight”.

The French Language Services Act, 1986 has had an impact on the provision of health care services in Ontario. The Ontario Ministry of Health's implementation of French-language services is examined in light of three criteria: permanency, quality and accessibility of services. Issues are raised around the measurement and creation of demand for services; the health human resources shortage; health care priorities; what constitutes a high quality service; and the influence of the political and economic climates. The continuing challenge is to provide permanent and accessible high quality French-language health care services within an ailing health care system.

The article examines the questions of the promotional activities of tourist enterprises in Russia. The authors proceed from the fact that as a result of massive bankruptcies of well-known tour operators and complication of the general economic situation in the country, many tourist companies lose their customers. The situation in the tourist market adversely affected the trust of customers, and now to win it is even more difficult. Under these conditions, the task of maintaining existing consumers and attracting new ones of tourism enterprises is becoming urgent more than ever. According to the authors, the main way to solve this problem is an advertisement. The article reveals peculiarities of the use of different types of advertising of big and small tourism enterprises. The methodological basis of the paper is the results of promotional activities research of tourism enterprises in Nizhny Novgorod. Competition in the sphere of tourism, including the Nizhny Novgorod market is very high. The study shows that small tourist enterprises do not have sufficient financial means to invest in advertising in the media; their best advertisement is the established relationships with customers and high quality service. At the same time major tourist enterprises that have greater financial possibilities for their promotion, use the most common means of advertising, paying little attention to the new forms and trends in the advertising industry. The results allow the authors to identify ways to promote the services of tourist enterprises at the present stage, especially in the Internet.

Nowadays, VoIP is a technology with a great demand and wireless networks are increasingly deployed. Each of these has its own technology constraints. For VoIP, it is very important to take into consideration the need to provide a high quality service according to well-defined standard transmission (jitter, end-to-end delay, MOS, and packet loss). However, wireless networks (IEEE 802.11) are based on radio which undergoes a number of technical constraints to achieve theoretical transmission rates; among these constraints the number of users of the networks, the distance between the client and the access, and the amount of data transmitted point are included. In this term, a study is made by simulating wireless network in OPNET Modeler with a fairly large number of VoIPs (15 users) whose signaling is handled via a new node that was created specifically to manage the signaling tasks under SIP and H.323 in order to minimize the number of nodes in the network and avoid the congestion. In this paper, two scenarios are compared; the first contains a number of VoIP users with SIP and H.323 signaling handled by the new created device; the second scenario is similar to the first except that the distance between the stations is remarkably lower.
