Dynamic Customer Relationship Management: Incorporating Future Considerations into the Service Retention Decision

The authors examine the influence of customer future-focused considerations, over and above the effects of satisfaction, on the customer's decision to discontinue a service relationship. The authors find that expected future use and anticipated regret influence this decision. Understanding and managing these future-focused considerations is critical to successful dynamic customer relationship management.
