Research

Investigating Customers’ Experiences with Their Financial Services Customer Education Programs as It Impacts Customer Loyalty to the Financial Firm

This phenomenological study investigated how the lived experiences of customers’ participating in financial services’ customer education programs impacted the customers’ loyalties to their global financial service firm. The study’s findings added to the work of Zajonc (1968) and Groeppel-Klein et al. (2010) on mere exposure theory by determining that repeated exposure to customer education programs resulted in favorable evaluations of the programs and the financial service firm responsible for delivering the service.

The Effectiveness of Web Interactive Guides (WIGs). A Study of the Learning Preferences of Financial Service Customers and the Capability of WIGs to Help Students Master Concepts

This qualitative research study applied Grounded Theory Design and administered telephone and focus group interviews to two types of WIG user, customers or employees of firms that use the products and services of the financial service firm, and employees of the financial service firm. The customers group participated in telephone interviews and the employees participated in focus groups. The research participants had a positive response to WIGs as a learning tool. Most participants felt that WIGs were more effective than books or manuals at helping them learn, and most indicated that they would prefer to learn using WIGs.

Dr. Islam provides many pages of leadership guidance and wisdom both from his own experiences and those of friends and colleagues in various fields and professions. I found each chapter to have a helpful “take away”. This book is highly recommended for anyone in a leadership position!

Erica Adkins

I actually ENJOYED this book! The 12 Inch Rule of Leadership by Dr. Kaliym Islam is a gift to me and will be a gift to several of my friends from me. It flowed and I read it in a weekend. I found myself actually appreciating each rule and look forward to reading this book at least once a year to remind myself of ways to lead my family, my organizations and myself. This book is for everyone. I have read several books on leadership. This is right up there with the best.

Brian Stennett

The tenets of the 12 Inch Rule is a study on how one can be successful in life and the tools that one should utilize to be the best that they can be. It is a guide that stresses character, perseverance and ambition. It is a tool that should provide the guiding principles for life. This book resonates and is a must read. It astutely combines the qualitative life experiences with empirical data. - Sheldon E. Warrick, Business Leader
