Reported result

What the study found

Usage is dynamically related to prior usage and customer perceptions, offering evidence relevant to engagement and retention management.

Research question

What the authors investigated

How do prior usage, service experiences and customer perceptions dynamically shape subsequent service usage?

Design

Dynamic empirical model of service usage over time.

Sample and setting

Customers using a continuous service; the publisher record identifies customer usage as the longitudinal outcome.

Scope and transfer

Limitations to keep in view

The abstract page does not state sample size or provider; observational dynamic modeling limits causal interpretation.

Research sources

SAGE publisher title/DOI record identifies the dynamic customer-usage model and empirical service context. Direct publisher-page retrieval was recorded on 2026-10-09; this profile uses the publisher abstract/metadata and does not claim independent review of unavailable full text.
