Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The Improvement Gap Analysis measures customer dissatisfaction levels. It describes the current state of an organisation and what needs to be done to reach the desired state. The gap between these states represents customer dissatisfaction. The IPA matrix by Piccolo et al categorises dissatisfaction into four quadrants, helping organisations determine whether action is needed. (See p. 137)

Haha, this question is about as clear as mud. I'm just going to guess C, E, and maybe throw in A for good measure. *shrugs*

D and E for sure, but I'm not convinced about the others. Isn't return on investment a better metric for strategic decision-making?

Hmm, I'm not sure about the churn rate. Isn't that more for customer retention analysis? I'd go with B, C, and E.
