Abstract

This study systematically organized domestic Internet portal sites and investigated how the strategic dimensional elements of services provided by portal sites can be applied to Internet portal companies by introducing a causal analytical research model. The research results revealed that portal support services such as convenience, entertainment, and interactivity have a significant effect on customer satisfaction, and that customer satisfaction has a significant effect on revisit intention and recommendation to others. In particular, the revisit intention factor was found to play a mediating role between customer satisfaction and recommendation to others. It was also found that the customer satisfaction factor has a greater influence on recommendation to others than on revisit intention.
