The polite path to competitiveness
Article Abstract:
Poor customer service hinders Indian economic development in a global economy. Rudeness and lack of responsiveness are endemic in India whether in governmental services or the private sector. However, forty percent of India's economy depends on customer service-sensitive industries such as tourism, engineering consultants, and exports. Research shows good service is vital to retaining customers. Protected markets and government monopolies have allowed abysmal customer service to flourish without penalty, but India must remedy the problem if she hopes to compete abroad.
