The extant measurement of E-service quality poses a series of gaps (challenges) and offers a range of opportunities for researchers (Barrutia & Gilsanz, 2009): a) Few E-service quality definitions have been provided. Mostly they remain ambiguous and there is no consensus regarding the main elements. b) There is a lack of solid theory-building research and more theory-supported research is needed: as research has often taken an exploratory approach in the development of scales, the structure and…

In Toni Morrison’s Beloved The Ohio River is a place where characters such as Beloved, Denver, and Sethe are reborn and given a new life, ultimately suggesting that the Ohio River serves as the bridge between worlds and the line separating them is as fluid as the water itself.

This leads to create some kinds of differences in the delivery of services and…
