Abstract
Very few areas in contemporary marketing research have attracted as much attention as the issue of customer satisfaction (CS). This has led to a high degree of diversity and a number of interesting possibilities. In the midst of such affluence, this paper argues for developing a Transnational Index of Customer Satisfaction (hereinafter, TICS). As in any research on a nebulous concept, the paper reports its marketing potential and areas of darkness. For each conceptual and methodological issue, a way out too has been identified. The central purpose of TICS is to further contribute to international competitiveness, customer welfare by answering what constitutes customer satisfaction in TICS , and what is the pratical utility of TICS in the current global scene and, what are the most relevant conceptual, methodological and administrative issues for TICS.
