Taxi services have a long history in people’s life in Sydney. Sydney Transport Group (STG)1 has been operating in this sector for more than two decades. Recently they have begun to expand their operation by entering into internet taxi market. However, with the existence of strong rivals such as Uber and OLA, STG wants to understand what determines customers’ continuous use of internet taxi. A senior manager at STG has conducted initial research that demonstrates factors such as social connection, customers’ need for prestige, and customers’ price consciousness influence customers’ trust in internet taxi which, in turn, contribute to customers’ intention to use internet taxi continuously. He would like to know if the relationships between these variables are statistically significant. The manager is also interested in knowing if trust in internet taxi differs across female and male customers group.
The senior manager designed the below research model and asked the marketing research department to collect data to address these issues. As a part of the team, you have to analyse the data premised on hypothetical relationships the senior manager has developed and report the findings to him. The senior manager expects you to provide him with a brief outline of what was done with the data and why. Further, he expects to have the results presented in a format that he can simply understand. He also wishes to have some managerial recommendations on the basis of findings to understand how to act based on findings to ensure he can retain customers.
