Specifically as it related to problem resolution.

When customers contact KMart, they want to resolve:
* refunds
* damaged products
* eCommerce site issues
* out of stock products

When the customers contacted KMart, the customer service staff (in-store, on phone and live chat) could not resolve the problem frustrating the customers further.]]> 2022-07-20 03:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/p3fsmcfka93s9k1s/wish/2246627982 motivators for positive and negative WOM kay_donovan https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/p3fsmcfka93s9k1s/wish/2251696354 So how do these issues relate to the motivations identified in Bach and Kim's paper, "Online Consumer Complaint Behaviours"?
