The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) project indicates disappointing results in the frequency of student-faculty interaction and the amount of time that students prepare for class. Both of these discomforting facts illustrate the need for educators to do a better job of communicating expectations. This study uses a paradigm of the "professor as the customer" and the Kano Model of customer satisfaction to clarify and quantify professor expectations. Professor expectations are examined in terms of "basic needs", "satisfiers", and "delighters" as well as a variety of demographic variables (e.g., gender, age, discipline, course level and teaching experience) from 95 faculty members across five disciplines at a state university. Further, gap measures are taken between the profess...
For years, branches were designed to serve basic customer needs. But today, community banking stands on the cusp of fundamental change. Given the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, banks recently have begun introducing an expanded array of financial products and services. Yet most continue to operate in spaces that simply weren't designed to accommodate such volume. Consequently, many branches are fast becoming inefficient - and often detrimental - for large national chains and small community banks alike. As the proliferation of branch-based financial services continues, the challenge for banks to remain profitable is largely contingent upon their ability to adapt a brick and mortar network to these changes while weighing relevant geographical factors. In conjunction with Internet banki...
A basic tenet of design for Six Sigma is that designs must meet customer needs while being produced with high quality. A broad set of tools to support this goal, from quality function deployment to statistical process control to robust design, have been developed over the past 40 years. The goal of these tools is to design a high quality product that is capable of being consistently manufactured. Unfortunately, the study of manufacturing and product development over the last 10 years has overlooked one key to achieving Six Sigma design: a systematic understanding of the expected variation introduced by processes across the organization. A company should be able to put these data sets into a database so the product development team can use the data to set tolerances, validate the toleran...

Innovation strategy helps a company in three ways: exciting its customers, outperforming competitors, and building a new product portfolio. The literature describes many frameworks for innovation strategy but offers little detail about how to implement them. This paper identifies 12 ways of visualizing innovation strategies: platform offering, co-creation, cycle time reduction, brand value enhancement, technology leveraging, future-proofing, lean development, partnering, innovation mutation, creative destruction, market segmentation, and acquisition. These strategies allow 100 leading global companies to dominate their markets and outperform the competition through innovation.

In 2007, Barclays set out to create a retail banking experience unrivalled on the high street: one that was based on close and genuine relationships with customers. As a result, the concept of "Real Retail" was born, revolving around the idea of customer-centricity. Every customer value proposition needs its employee value proposition to bring it to life. Within six months of Real Retail being introduced into Barclays, it became clear from research that Real Retail had been internalized as a way of helping Barclays to work better rather than standing for what it really means: delivering customer value and, through delivering customer value, creating growth. Realizing that they needed external specialist help, they put the project out to tender and employee communication specialists WMW ...

THE drive to economise in Celcom, which has its roots in the CEO's verdant hair, has nothing to do with myth or magic. MYTHICAL STRENGTH OF Samsonite proportions may not flow from Datuk Seri Shazalli Ramly's pompadour style tresses but the state of his gelled head has a bearing on Celcom Axiata's fortunes. `My hair is not as long as it used to be but undeniably, it is the most visible part of my persona that everyone notices,' says the Celcom Axiata CEO to Malaysian Business in a 7.30pm interview sandwiched between a business meeting the previous hour and a trip to Putrajaya to attend an official Hari Raya open house on a muggy Tuesday evening.
