Abstract
In a context of globalization and international competition in higher education, higher education institutions (HEI) increasingly understand that higher education can be considered as a business-like service industry, consequently needing better understanding of how their students perceive the services provided and how they can compete in attracting and holding on to more students (Douglas & Douglas, 2006).
