Abstract

This paper aims to propose a new trend in research which integrates the online customer relationship management through the perspectives of perceived value, satisfaction, and e-trust regarding the online restaurant in Chinese e-CRM business backgrounds. This study constructs a structural equation model to analyze the online restaurant marketing with the research perspective of the relationships among perceived value, satisfaction and e-Trust, corresponding to the cognitive belief, affective experiences and cognitive behavior of e-CRM. This model proposes six hypotheses concerning the relationships among perceived value, satisfaction and e-trust, aiming to demonstrate the predominant factors affecting the online restaurant sales and further to have a better understanding of the customers' preferences on placing orders and purchases in the online context. The results show that there is a series of connections among perceived value, satisfaction and e-trust, and most of them are important. First, the perceived value has an incentive effect on satisfaction, e-trust, and customers' commitment to a relationship. Second, satisfaction has a positive impact on e-trust and leads to the commitment to a relationship. Third, e-trust positively affects the consumer commitment to a relationship. In addition, production quality, service quality and price fairness have a significant impact on the perceived value.
