Let’s Get Engaged! Crossing the Threshold of Marketing’s Engagement Era

Abstract

This research proposal seeks to compare marketing aspects of private primary and secondary education institutions in both the United States and China. The present proposal is a follow up to unpublished research conducted in China in 2009. The previous work involved a 145-question survey completed by 18 member schools of the Association of China and Mongolia International Schools (ACAMIS). Part of the survey was a Service Quality Gaps Model Audit (Zeithaml et al. 2008), which measures five different problems in service delivery.
