  • An Inter-Correlational Study on Socio-Demographic Profile, Customer Satisfaction and Customer Loyalty in a Fast Food Restaurant in the Philippines
    The 1st International Conference on Business, Management and Information Systems 2019 Abstract ID: ICBMIS-2019-055 An Inter-correlational Study on Socio-demographic Profile, Customer Satisfaction and Customer Loyalty in a Fast Food Restaurant in the Philippines Marlon B. Raquel1, Anthony Greg F. Alonzo2 1 The Fisher Valley College, Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines 1 Graduate School, Taguig City University, Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines [email protected] 2 The Fisher Valley College, Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines 2 Department of Science and Technology, Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines [email protected] Abstract The entry of new players in the fast food industry in the Philippines, both local and foreign companies, has paved for a more competitive business environment. Thus, the need to attend to the satisfaction of their customers has become their main objective. The main purpose of this study is to assess the relationships among socio-demographic characteristics, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty in a fast food restaurant. Survey questionnaires were dis- tributed to respondents who dined in at the fast food store during the data gathering. Weighted means, standard deviations, verbal interpretations and rankings were determined to measure the level of customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Spearman’s rho correlation coefficients were identified to assess the relationships. Respondents were satisfied in terms of food quality, service quality and price but were dissatisfied with the physical environment. Customer loyalty in terms of first-in-mind, word-of-mouth and repurchase intentions were high. Customer satisfaction indicators are significantly correlated with customer loyalty indi- cators at p-value .01.

  • SANCHEZ Final Defense Draft May 8
    LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK: SOLIDARITY CULTURE AND THE MAKING OF A TRANSNATIONAL OPPOSITION TO THE MARCOS DICTATORSHIP, 1972-1986 BY MARK JOHN SANCHEZ DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History with a minor in Asian American Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Augusto Espiritu, Chair Professor Antoinette Burton Associate Professor Jose Bernard Capino Professor Kristin Hoganson Abstract This dissertation attempts to understand pro-democratic activism in ways that do not solely revolve around public protest. In the case of anti-authoritarian mobilizations in the Philippines, the conversation is often dominated by the EDSA "People Power" protests of 1986. This project discusses the longer histories of protest that made such a remarkable mobilization possible. A focus on these often-sidelined histories allows a focus on unacknowledged labor within social movement building, the confrontation between transnational and local impulses in political organizing, and also the democratic dreams that some groups dared to pursue when it was most dangerous to do so. Overall, this project is a history of the transnational opposition to the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines. It specifically examines the interactions among Asian American, European solidarity, and Filipino grassroots activists. I argue that these collaborations, which had grassroots activists and political detainees at their center, produced a movement culture that guided how participating activists approached their engagements with international institutions. Anti-Marcos activists understood that their material realities necessitated an engagement with institutions more known to them for their colonial and Cold War legacies such as the press, education, human rights, international law, and religion.
