    Re-evaluating the Impact of Product Quality Consistency on Customer Satisfaction: Insights from Coca-Cola, Nigeria
    (Covenant Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 15, No. 2, 2024-12) Ufua, Daniel E.; Babalola, 0moniyi, S.; Falola, Hezekiah O.; Gudeta, Konjit Hailu
    The effect of product quality consistency on customer satisfaction at Coca-Cola Nigeria, which focuses on its Lagos State operations, was investigated in this study. In a highly competitive market, customer satisfaction is influenced by various factors, including product quality, pricing, and brand image. Despite Coca-Cola's established reputation, understanding the direct impact of product quality consistency on customer satisfaction and loyalty in the Nigerian context still needs to be explored. This study addresses this gap by examining how product quality consistency shapes customer experiences and satisfaction. The research employs a descriptive approach, utilising a survey of 271 Coca-Cola consumers in Lagos State. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling to assess the relationship between product quality consistency and customer satisfaction across three key dimensions: perceived quality, accessibility, and feedback. The results indicate strong positive relationships, with path coefficients of 0.399 (p < 0.000) for accessibility, 0.394 (p < 0.000) for feedback, and 0.331 (p < 0.000) for perceived quality. These findings underscore the importance of consistent product quality in enhancing customer satisfaction. The study recommends that Coca-Cola Nigeria prioritise maintaining high standards of product quality while also considering other factors, such as pricing and brand image, to boost customer loyalty. Limitations include the focus on Lagos State, and future research could explore similar relationships in other regions of Nigeria. This study contributes to the existing literature on quality consistency and customer satisfaction, providing actionable insights for companies seeking to improve their competitive edge through customer-centric strategies.

The process of capturing poultry business performance using the balanced scorecard performance pillar of customer performance had not been completely integrated in prior research.

The study adopted survey research design. The population of the study were 4324 active farmers and support services of the key poultry business stakeholders in the six geo-political zones of Nigeria. The sample size of 450 was determined using Taro Yamane sample size formula. Strata random sampling technique were used to select the respondents from the geo-political zones. A structured and valid questionnaire, using 5 level Likert-scale, were administered to the respondents with a response rate of 84%. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients for the constructs ranged from 0.87 to 0.95. Descriptive and inferential (multiple regression) analysis were used to analyse the data at 5% level of significance. The findings revealed that all financial re-engineering exerted significance effect on customer performance (Adj.R2 = 0.520 F(5,379) = 82.950, P < 0.05). The study concluded that financial re-engineering has significant effect on customer performance of poultry business in Nigeria and recommended that poultry business owners and management in Nigeria should integrate financial re-engineering into their processes in order to optimize production and attract premium customers with attendant total performance expectations

Additionally, the research underscores the importance of a customer-centric culture and the strategic use of technology and innovation in fostering long-term customer loyalty and organizational success.
