CHAPTER ONE

1.0       INTRODUCTION

The success of any organization depends on whether such an organization recognizes the most important aspect of business, and that is customer or consumer satisfaction.  Consumer satisfaction should be the first thing to think about before one thinks of profitability.  That is why professional marketers always say that the consumer is at the center of all marketing effort.
