When customers experience a service failure (e.g. an overcooked meal or a flight delay), they try to seek redress. Organisations may use different service recovery tools such as monetary or psychological compensation (Roschk & Gelbrich, 2014) to address customers鈥� complaints. Prior research shows that such measures can improve customers鈥� fairness perception and satisfaction (Tax, Brown, & Chandrashekaran, 1998), and also reduce customers鈥� anger and negative word of mouth behaviours (Gelbrich, 2010). A large body of research on service failure and recovery has often focused on the effectiveness of conventional tools such as compensation. But despite recent technological advancements, the service recovery literature has still not looked beyond traditional recovery tools. Gamification has gained increased popularity in the marketing domain over the past few years (Larivi猫re et al., 2017). Specifically, Van Vaerenbergh, Varga, De Keyser, and Orsingher (2018) call for research on the role of gamification in service recovery. Accordingly, the aim of this research is to examine the effects of gamification as an alternative recovery tool. Further, this research will shed light on the mechanism that explains customers鈥� reactions to a gamified service recovery and will also explore different boundary conditions. The research ultimately offers insights to managers on how to deal with service failures more efficiently by capitalising on modern technologies to deliver a gamified recovery.

Mobile applications (apps) continue to emerge as a powerful and
ubiquitous service delivery channel enabling retailers to offer consumers
a variety of products and services on the go. The rapid advancement of mobile technology and the subsequent service innovation deriving from it is causing consumer behaviour to evolve in terms of how consumers interact and utilise service delivery channels that are accessible to consumers anytime, anywhere. The number of smartphone users is expected to continuously grow with 5.5 billion people expected to be using smartphone devices by 2022, while at the same time, consumers' willingness to use mobile commerce (m-commerce) is witnessing rapid growth beyond expectations.This project aims to examine the customer experience in relation to retailers' m-commerce mobile applications. The research aims to understand the variables capable of influencing the customer experience during use of retailers' m-commerce mobile applications, resulting in the development of a Mobile Application Customer Experience Model (MACE).
