 - Oxfordshire :  Routledge,  August 2002 
<br/><br/> Since the birth of the Internet, two-way communication via web-based exchanges has become increasingly popular in electronic transaction, publication, broadcasting, and other service applications. Based on an understanding of the attributes of the web-based service and its differences from traditional communication channels, this paper describes the developmetn of a conceptual framework to measure the web-based service quality using the SERVQUAL model as a starting point. An online survey was conducted to collect web-based service quality information from an internatinal customer's perspective. The results indicate a need to modify SERVQUAL to suit better the context of the web-based service. Several web-based service attributes and dimensions were identified. This information should be useful to web designers and service proiders and in the management of web-based services
