Short description: (in Polish)

Recognizing customer needs is one of the basic conditions to build his satisfaction. In turn, directing inter-organisational processes towards customers allows generating mechanisms fostering the organisation’s development.

The identification of these processes is a complex operation and, therefore, requires the application of effective procedures. The more precise identification of the processes seen from the customer's perspective, the higher the level of satisfying customer expectations, which in the long term provides the company with a measurable financial impact.

The issue of customer satisfaction and managing his satisfaction is complex and multifaceted. The objective of the course is a comprehensive presentation of the issue, which will allow students to understand better the importance of customer satisfaction in business management and inspire them to new ways of applying the acquired knowledge in business processes of modern organizations.
