Globalization and deregulations have increased competition in the marketplace, as nowadays it has become much easier for companies to cross borders and compete internationally. The increased competition, on its behalf, has made organizations to constantly try to increase their productivity and decrease their costs. One way for them to achieve that is by investing in information technology (Fredriksson, 2003).
Using an already developed model for measuring the quality of online services, the authors of this thesis have developed and later on modified a theoretical model (instrument) for measuring the quality of online banking services in particular. Using quantitative research method including the design and distribution of a questionnaire, empirical data was collected on which statistical analysis has been performed…
