Practically, the findings indicate that the management side of an organization like TPC and other similar fumes should further strive to underscore the importance of customer focus and satisfaction by not solely concentrating on the monopoly nightmares in provision of their services, rather should examine a close look from how customers requirements are met and satisfied including critical aspects of competitive positioning, and increased customer relationship by the management and the organization as a whole.en_US
