The Start-up Software Company - How to avoid becoming Road Kill

Tecmentor — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:41:30 +0000

Most new businesses have to overcome huge difficulties in establishing themselves in the market place. If you intend to set up a software business you will probably face more problems than most.

My view is that to compete as a start-up you should follow the now famous “crossing the chasm” model. I personally reckon there are three main stages all based on differentiation then superiority.

Outcomes of service encounter quality in a business-to-business context

Chanaka.j — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 15:23:53 +0000

Service encounter quality is an area of growing interest to researchers and managers alike, yet little is known about the effects of face-to-face
service encounter quality within a business-to-business setting. In this paper, a psychometrically sound measure of such service encounter quality

used to develop a conceptual framework and a pool of items to capture service encounter quality. A mail survey of customers was undertaken, and
