摘要
An expanding arrayof technologies exist that can enable retailers to add value to product/service offerings online. Yet for many firms, determining which applications to employcan be perplexing. This studyexamines dimensions of service orientation among market leaders and measures performance results of adopting selected customer service applications. Findings suggest that while a majorityof retailers use the Internet to enhance companyimage, greater pay-offs come from offering more online services, particularlythose that maybe used by customers in the acquisition process (e.g., e-mail and online ordering) and for post-purchase support.
