Creating value and continuously generating a positive Total Customer Experience (TCE) for customers is important for E-Commerce environments in order to attract and retain customers. We embarked on a study that aimed to identify those characteristics of a customer's service encounter with an E-Commerce environment that would help in generating a satisfying TCE for the customers. Our intention was to investigate negative incidents or obstacles that mar a customer's TCE. To do this we employed a selection of complementary techniques such as naturalistic customer-observations, focus- group like workshops, and structured-interviews of customers. In this paper, we present accounts of situations in which the customers experienced obstacles while interacting with E-Tailing environments. The aim of this paper is to emphasise how we have been able to draw conclusions about the phenomenon under study from the rich data obtained from a customer's experience with E-Commerce environments. We will demonstrate how these accounts are insightful for understanding the customer's perspective, and how they highlight the inter-play of several factors - personal, socio-cultural, organisational and usability that impact on the customer's TCE and influence his perception of value and service quality from an E-Commerce environment. |
