Abstract

The classical approach to relationships between service providers and their customers is about meeting promises and expectations, and trust. For example, contractual requirements, where fixed standards are to be reached; and, in the case of competence, trust and expectations of open commitment to each
other i.e. ‘goodwill’. As more and more exchanges tend towards the longer term, the relationships between exchange parties evolve. The vision of the future increases the likelihood of successful cooperation and makes parties go that extra mile in providing excellent service.
