Abstract

As there is only limited understanding of how customer relationships that are characterized by customersatisfaction differ from those that are characterized by customer-company identification, this study investigates how bothrelationship concepts differ in their drivers and considers crucial self-definitional needs for engendering customer-companyidentification, and additionally examines how both concepts differ in their consequences when companies face complex markets.
