Tiivistelmä: | This study examines the impact of selection criteria related with interpersonal interaction on supplier consideration. In particular, it is explored how the importance of these criteria depends on service-related dimensions. This is an experimental study among client firms in the market research industry combining conjoint and btw.-subjects design to lead to many new insights. It is found that 1. good personal relationships are important in the selection of a service provider (herein as: s-pvrd.) and their impact increases if the service offering (here as: s-off./s-offs.) is subjective, and decreases if it is strategically important. 2. enriching the s-off. with advice and interpretation is more important for subjective and for strategically important s-offs., 3. for other selection criteria, there are some interesting differences btw. consideration and choice. Price has a substantive impact on choice alone, whereas a strong brand name is helpful for the s-pvrd. in the consideration stage, only. |
