Synopsis

MA-Thesis / Master, die am 03.11.2006 erfolgreich an einer Universität in Dänemark im Fachbereich Aarhus Business School eingereicht wurde.

Surprisingly however, the variable image showed no direct impact on perceived value, satisfaction, and loyalty.

Furthermore, the direct comparison of data from the lecturers and the students suggested problems with the information flow between ASB, the lecturers, and the students.

Thus, our suggestions include new positioning and better marketing for next year, concrete improvem...
