LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Loyalty of Internet customers in Vietnam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT For Internet service providers (ISP), it is essential for them to understand the critical factors that influence customer loyalty. These issues are critical to the long- term business success of any service provider. Based on the literature reviewed in the thesis, this study empirically investigates the impact of factors on customer loyalty. A quantitative method via questionnaire survey was used to obtain the views of approximately 300 Internet users in Ho Chi Minh city regarding their opinions and perceptions about their current ISP and their intention to stay with them. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between customer loyalty and influencing factors mentioned above. According to the findings of this research, in order to retain internet service customers, providers need to take into consideration with factors such as network quality, price perception, perceived value and trust. The results of this research are important for ISP to enhance and improve their competitiveness, in other words, to become successful and have more loyal customers, which will ultimately result in more profitability. Keywords: customer retention, customer loyalty.

This chapter will provide general information of research problem as well as research background, identify research objectives and research questions. This chapter also briefly outlines research structure.2 Research background High-speed internet services are becoming more and more popular and the rapid development of information technologies affects every aspect of our lives. The importance of information and communication technology is undeniable as it has been applied in various fields for the purpose of service enhancement. Although basic Internet services had existed in Vietnam since the early nineties, until 1997, the first commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP) opened for business – Vietnam Data Communication Company (VDC) which belongs to Vietnam Posts & Telecommunication Groups (VNPT). Since then, Vietnam has been connected by two gateways: one in Hanoi connecting with Hong Kong and Australia, and the other in Ho Chi Minh City, which connects with the United States by Sprint. Internet usage remains low in comparison with that of other Asian nations, yet connectivity has increased rapidly over the past few years, thanks to an initiative by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications. According to the internet statistic report of VNIC (Vietnam Internet Center), up to June 2012, the number of internet users in Vietnam is more than 31 million which is equivalent to the scale of 35.4 percent users per capita. Over more than fifteen years of formation and development, together with the development of internet services, the number of ISPs has also remarkably increased, which leads to severe competition among ISPs, especially in a developing country like Vietnam. Until now, there are more than ten ISPs operating in Vietnam including VDC/VNPT, Viettel, FPT, Netnam, SPT, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Loyalty of Internet customers in Vietnam -6- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hanoi Telecom, VTC, G-Tel, Vishiped and CMC TI in which three of the leading companies: VDC/VNPT, Viettel, FPT have obtained more than 85 percent of total Internet service market share in Vietnam. As a result, ISPs must try their best to develop their marketing strategy and improve their business performance to increase their level of competitiveness. From the above statistics, we can understand that the competition of Internet services in Vietnam is a severe war among three big ISPs: VDC/VNPT, Viettel and FPT. Beside the diversification of services, enhancing the customer satisfaction and customer loyalty is considered to be the most effective way to compete in the market, especially in telecommunication industry which is on the verge of saturation point in some years’ time. Customer loyalty are believed to be the most effective weapons for providers to complete with other rivals because these factors are the primary variables that impact customers’ intention to stay with their current providers (Khatibi, Ismail & Thyagarajan, 2002). The providers which satisfy customers can expect higher market shares and greater profitability and, in turn, encourage their customers to become loyal (Khatibi, Ismail & Thyagarajan, 2002). Aaker (1991) has discussed the role of loyalty in the brand equity process and has specifically noted that brand loyalty leads to certain marketing advantages such as reduced marketing costs, more new customers and greater trade leverage. Expanding loyal customers can assist in generating a business’s profitability because the cost of retaining existing customers is less than that of acquiring new ones (Reichheld, Teal, 1996). Therefore, understanding how and why a sense of loyalty develops in customers remains one of the crucial management issues of our day. By assessing the Internet service users in Ho Chi Minh city, this research will give useful information of a range of factors impact on Vietnamese internet users’ perceptions of their current ISPs, from which factors effecting customer loyalty, especially in telecommunication sector, will be derived. In other words, this research provides ISPs the direction and valuable understandings of what factors should be taken into account to become successful ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Loyalty of Internet customers in Vietnam -7- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ and have more loyal customers, which ultimately result in more profitability and leads to their strong competitiveness and stable growth in the future.3 The research objectives Arising from the research problem, this research aims to explore the main attributes in internet service provisioning - customer loyalty in the context of Vietnam telecommunication market. More specifically, the main objective of this research is to identify the factors influencing customer loyalty in Internet services in Vietnam. We also examine the affecting level of each factor on Vietnamese internet users’ loyalty.4 The research questions Based on the research objectives, we accordingly give two main questions as follow: - What are the factors that influence customer loyalty in Internet services in Vietnam? - How do these factors influence on loyalty of Internet customers? 1.5 The research model Based on the literature review, a model with four hypotheses are established in order to explore the research problems and develop the hypotheses. Figure 1 – The research model – in Chapter 2 shows the proposed model for this research regarding customers’ intentions to stay with their current ISP in Vietnam. This model leads to four hypotheses tested that show the relationship between network quality, price perception, perceived value and trust and customer loyalty.6 The research methodology An overview of the research methods used to collect and analyze the data are briefly discussed. In this research, a survey with questionnaire in was used to collect data. The questionnaire was made in English and then translated into Vietnamese because all of respondents are Vietnamese. Random sampling was chosen to reduce bias in ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Loyalty of Internet customers in Vietnam -8- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ the sample. The data collected from the survey was coded, analyzed and interpreted by SPSS software. More details of the research methodology are provided in Chapter 3 and the result of the research is presented in Chapter 4.7 The research structure This research begins with Chapter 1 – Introduction, which provides general introduction and brief background of internet services in general and in the context of Vietnam in particular to the research including research background, research objectives, research questions, research model, research methodology and structure of the research. Chapter 2 – Literature review - screens the literature of customer loyalty from previous researches. Basing on these literature reviews, a model with four hypotheses is developed. We examine the relationship between customer loyalty and its affecting factors including network quality, price perception, perceived value and trust. Besides, demographic factors such as gender, income, and experience of service using are also tested their impact on customer loyalty. Chapter 3 – Research methodology - presents methods to conduct this research, consisting of three sections.
