The world is travelling in information era where information is the essential element for every individual, institution, society and country. Communication of information is done by every individual to perform their daily activities, so the mobile telecommunication service has become a basic need where everybody needs telecommunication services. From the latest MIS Report of Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA), Market Penetration Rate (MPR) for mobile service 134.41%, which clearly indicates that the number of mobile service users has surpassed the population, and this actually means, at least mathematically , that there are no more people who aren’t using a mobile service in the market. This also means that there are no new customers for mobile service as they must be a new customer to us churning out from some other mobile service provider. Additionally, the data of MPR above 100% means the mobile market has reached the saturation level. When a market becomes highly saturated it’s not only hard to find a new customer, but also costly to get a new customer. Now, the main focus of every company is about retention of customers. Customer retention will be more and more crucial for survival of the company in the mobile telecommunication sector in upcoming days. There are different factors of influence of a customer retention like price, service quality, promotion mix, innovation and customer care.

Purpose – This paper aims to explore how perceived risk affects customer loyalty in e-commerce and how switching costs mediate in the relationship between perceived risk and customer loyalty. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, structural equation modeling was conducted, and data on Internet shopping habits of 382 consumers in Taiwan were examined. Findings – The findings of this study revealed that lowering perceived risks can increase switching costs, which leads to customer loyalty with the service provider in e-commerce. Research limitations/implications – A sample bias may exist because the sampling was conducted through an online survey in a specific Web site. This study affirmed the theoretical framework regarding the mediation effect of switching costs on perceived risk and customer-loyalty relationships. Practical implications – To avoid the single effect of reducing perceived risk on customer loyalty, practitioners should be difficult for competitors to imitate. This can increase the barriers to competition, further lock in the customer and can prevent the switch to other service providers. Originality/value – The findings provide a new feasible approach to customer retention: a business can reduce customers’ perceived risk to increase switching costs against the competition for customer retention in e-commerce.

Purpose: Complaint Management (CM) is significant in improving the quality of healthcare service delivery. There is a dearth of knowledge regarding CM in healthcare service in Ghana. This paper aims at exploring the drivers, inhibitors, implications and influence of leadership on effective CM in healthcare service delivery. Methodology: A qualitative methodology was used. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 20 purposively selected informants. Data were transcribed and analysed thematically. Findings: The evidence suggests that there are some notable drivers, inhibitors, and implications of CM in healthcare service delivery. The study found that customer complaint, customer satisfaction, customer feedback, customer loyalty, customer retention, quality assurance, competitive advantage, compensation, culture, and speedy recovery are the drivers to effective CM in healthcare service delivery. However, regarding the factors that inhibit effective CM in healthcare service delivery, the study found insufficient skilled personnel, inadequate technology, lack of infrastructure, inadequate resources/funds and lack of oversight responsibility or control, lack of accountability, unresponsiveness, and unacceptance of mistakes/complaint. The study provides insight that effective CM has significant implications on customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, customer retention/commitment, institutional reputation/image, organisational performance, profitability, and good staff attitude. The results of the research corroborate the perception that leadership style influences the effectiveness of CM in healthcare service delivery. Recommendation: The study strongly recommend the establishment of CM department with the requisite logistics and accessories to promote effective handling of complaint. Additionally, it endorses training programmes on building strategies to enhance effective CM which will go a long way toward allowing service providers to form strong emotional bonds with their patients. The focus of such a program should be on instilling in frontline staff who deal with disgruntled/dissatisfied customers the necessity of adopting the study's findings into their complaint handling process.
