Abstract

Instead of usability, customers today concern themselves more on satisfying their emotions/Kansei. This paper discusses an integrative framework that incorporates the Kano model, Markov chain, and quality function deployment (QFD) into Kansei engineering (KE). Its purposes are: 1 to exhibit the relationship between service performance and Kansei. 2 to enable service designers to establish the extent to which they prioritize their improvement programmes in dealing with current and future preferences. A comprehensive case study involving Indonesian, Japanese, and Singaporean tourists, was carried out. Understanding the cultural differences with respect to Kansei evaluation will yield valuable insights for international marketing strategies. Keywords: Kano model; Kansei engineering; KE; Markov chain modelling; services; emotion; Kansei; service performance; current preference; future preference; cultural differences; international marketing strategies; quality function deployment; QFD.
