Area of Research Interests
Primary research thrust relates to the concept of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) and its application within the broad services field encompassing both public and private sector organizations in the tourism, hospitality and restaurant management fields. My research niche is in the area of disconfirmation modeling as a tool for garnering customer feedback and continual system improvement.
