| dcterms.abstract | Facing the competitive telecommunication market, firms gradually focus on "Customer Loyalty", which is the key to success. As the primary tool for managing customer retention, customer satisfaction has received unflagging attention in the marketing literature. While satisfactory customer may leave, Consumer switching costs as another driver of customer retention aroused concern in the field of management. Consumer switching costs are defined as the onetime costs that customers associate with the process of switching from one provider to another. The study on consumer switching costs will afford managers a set of tools to manage customer loyalty. In view of the potential importance of consumer switching costs, it seems natural that firms would want to manage their customers' perception of switching costs. In order to do that, managers should manage the factors which influencing consumer switching costs. Regrettably, the study on consumer switching costs is inefficient. The research verifies the three-dimensional structure of switching costs: procedural switching cost, financial switching cost and relational switching cost. The research then examines the antecedents and consequences of switching costs. The results suggest that consumers' perceptions of product complexity and breadth of product use drive the procedural and financial switching costs they perceive. Besides, breadth of product use increases the relational switching costs. Futhermore, the relational switching cost significantly influences customer loyalty intention. | en_US |
