SAMMANFATTNING
This study elucidates companies handling of customers complaints. By
performing case studies on two companies within the travel business we
found that the empirical study agreed with theories when showing awareness
regarding processes and personnel aspects and that emphasis was put on the
customer satisfaction aspect. Our investigation also showed that both
companies used well developed and functioning systems and plans, with
suitable means for recovery but that none of the companies’ choose to
follow up prior complaints. The investigated companies used two-way
communication and standardized as well as customized solutions. We find
that both companies could improve the motivating of employees since a lot
is asked of especially frontline staff.
