Abstract: | The authors design a study to compare the use of mystery shopping and a traditional customer survey when collecting data to assess the service quality of competitive stores. They evaluate the psychometric performance of a set of secondary mystery shopping data collected to evaluate and benchmark the performance of branches of a retail network, and finally examine whether mystery shopping data collected to scale the more objective store environment are more reliable than data for service quality. |
