LECTURE 4 - ASSIGNMENT 1 - THE RESEARCH PROPOSAL CAP AIRLINES Daniel Loureno is a Portuguese student in International Business at the University of Lisbon. Born in Reguengos de Monsaraz, he is an active sportsman, excelling in football and swimming. As a young man Daniel developed a keen interest in aviation. He read everything he was able to find on the subject and began training for his private pilot license when he was 14, but he had to give it up six years later to focus on his studies. Daniel has just started writing his master thesis and he has handed in his research proposal to his advisor, Leonor Soares Henriques Pais. Leonor is a senior operations manager for CAP Airlines (CAP), a Portuguese aviation company. He has been working for CAP for the last 7 years, and he is responsible for ensuring that operations are efficient in terms of using as little resources as needed, and effective in terms of meeting customer requirements. Leonor's job is quite hectic and ever since he has started, Leonor has been working long hours. Daniel and Leonor have agreed to meet in a few days to discuss the following research proposal which was developed by Daniel.

They put me in the next flight (7 hours later) which was also Welayed for 3 hours. Hence, it took me 16 hours to fly from Milan to Faro which is truly unacceptable. Of course.

The pilot made the worst landing I have ever had in my life with most of the people in the praying. That is wry CAP for me stands for "Crappy Air franchise chain of CAP travel agencies. PLC Travel Group was formed eight years ago by the merger of First International Holidays with the tourism division of NTI Portugal. PLC Travel Group carries the brands 'Arches', 'Portugal International and CAP", and it is the largest tour operator in Portugal. PLC Portugal has its own airline company (CAP) and owns a franchise chain of CAP travel agencies. CAP carries out charter and regular flights to medium haul destinations such as the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Red Sea and to long haul destinations such as the Caribbean. Its hub is based in Lisbon. Today CAP's fleet consists of three Boeing 737-800 and four Boeing 767-300. Because the Boeing 767 are rather outdated they need more maintenance than the Boeing 737. Despite an intense maintenance program, these planes have a lot of technical problems. Consequently, the long haul fleet of CAP has dealt with a lot of delays recently. New long haul planes have been ordered, but these planes will not be delivered for another 2 years. This means that more delays will inevitably occur. For this reason CAP needs to obtain more knowledge on the wait experience of passengers during delays and the effects of this experience on customer satisfaction and the evaluation of the service CAP provides This research proposal will address the problem and problem statement in section 1.2.

Section 1.5 provides a brief description of the research design, whereas section 1.6 includes information on the time frame of this study. Finally, this research proposal will provide a selected bibliography used in writing this research proposal 1.2 Problem Indication and Problem Statement Prior research has claimed that service waits can be controlled by two techniques: operations management and management of perceptions. For CAP it is very difficult to obtain "zero defects" (no delays). Hence, this project will focus on managing the perceptions of the wait experience, because CAP cannot control the actual amount of delays and wait duration (recall that they work with a number of outdated planes), the company must focus on controlling the customer's perception of the waiting experience. To do this successfully it is important to know the variables that influence the perception of this waiting experience and the possible impact of waiting on customer satisfaction and service evaluations. More specifically, this project focuses on the following problem statement: How do delays affect consumers service evaluations? Drawing from prior research in the areas of waiting, service evaluations, attribution theory, and mood theory, hypotheses are generated regarding the relationships among a delay, affect, and service evaluations. The hypothesized relationships are tested in a field setting involving delayed CAP passengers. 1.3 Research Questions To deal with the preceding problem statement, the following research questions will be investigated: 1. How does a delay affect service evaluations? 2. What are the affective consentences of deks and how does afect mediate the relationship between waiting and service number of outdated planes), the company must focus on controlling the customer's perception of the waiting experience.

Drawing from prior research in the areas of waiting, service evaluations, attribution theory, and mood theory, hypotheses are generated regarding the relationships among a delay, affect, and service evaluations.

How does a delay affect service evaluations? 2. What are the affective consequences of delays and how does affect mediate the relationship between waiting and service evaluations? 3. How do situational variables (such as filled time) influence customer reactions to the delay? 1.4 Relevance Regarding the practical usefulness of the research project; this project gives CAP an indication of their level of performance during delays and shows what the effects of this performance are. The results of this project allow CAP to improve its service, to keep people smiling' even during delays. 1.5 Research Design hypotheses of this study be tested with a standardized questionnaire. Data will be collected from passengers on delayed flights over a period of two months by the cabin crew. Delays on outbound and inbound flights will be used to gather data from passengers. Flights are only sampled if the post-schedule wait is more than one hour. The passengers are asked to fill out and hand in the questionnaire at the end of the flight (approximately one hour before the airplane will land). Post-flight services, such as luggage pick-up, are ignored for practical reasons. Asking the passengers to fill out a questionnaire after they leave the plane would cause a further delay. 1.6 Time Frame The time frame necessary for this project is approximately six months. During these six months, periodic reports will be provided on the progress being made. 1.7 Selected Bibliography Folkes, V. S., Koletsky, S., and Graham, J. L. (1987).
