Topics Covered:

- Satisfaction usually predicts word of mouth quite strongly,
- New research confirms these patterns and explanations are given,
- Satisfaction is linked to later company performance and share price rise but it is not clear yet how these changes come about,
- Dissatisfaction lies behind complaining but other factors are involved,
- Managerial implications of this work.
