A CASE STUDY OF UNILEVER NIGERIA PLC)

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1      BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The days of a customer adopting one product or company for life are long gone. With easy access and global competitiveness, customers are often swayed by advertisingand a chance at a ―better deal. Quality levels and features between competing brands and organizations are often comparable. The thing that separates competitors is theirlevel of service. It is not unusual for customers to switch back and forth between products or organizations simply because of pricing, a bad first impression from the organization or lack of quality service. This is sometimes referred to as service churn. (Lucas, 2005)

Service is the customer‘s evaluation of a product or service in terms of whether that product or service has met their needs and expectations. (Zeithaml and Bitner, 2003)

Happy and satisfied customers behave in a positive manner. They will buy a lot from you and will give you a large share of their business. Customer service is derived largely from the quality and reliability of your products and services. (Curry and Curry, 2000).

However, almost every Nigerian encounters similar problems in meeting customer‘s expectation of services and customer service. For example, the issue of money transfer in banks is one major problem that customers of certain banks have been made to experience. In most casesthe customer hardly receives the payment of the money transferred into his account immediately.

The long queues and huge crowds in the banking halls can be highly devastating and discouraging most times, especially when the weekend is near. Most times, this longqueues are as a result of the breakdown of the computersused by these cashiers, sometimes it occurs as a result of thecashiers, pushing duty to one another, as to who is to attendto the customers or not.

According to Lucas, (2005), customer service is the abilityof knowledgeable, capable, and enthusiastic employees todeliver products and services to their internal and externalcustomers in a manner that satisfies identified andunidentified needs and ultimately results in positive word-of- mouth publicity and return business.
