Analysis of Preferences of GSM Operators and Internet Service Providers By Using Markov Chain

Abstract

Mobil telephone and internet usage have been increasing in recent years. Thus companies that provides internet services and mobile services, merges. Nowadays Fixed-Mobile communication services convergence is much more important, thus companies that provide internet services and mobile services merge in Turkey. Customers will have just one brand perception for fixed and mobile services along with market of mobile and fixed services merged and become a single market. Customer that is not satisfied from mobile services, will not only change the preference of mobile service subscription but also change internet service provider of same company or vice versa. This study aims to analyze customer’s brand preferences of mobile operator and internet service provider by conducting a survey to 790 people. Participants are asked about their current and previous brand preference of the mobile operators and internet service providers. To analyze the preferences, transition probability matrix which is the basis of Markov chains analysis and long term steady state vectors are calculated. Markov transition probability matrices are calculated with the basis of current and the previous, mobile operators and internet service providers and choices of the participants are taken into considerations. To analyze brand loyalty, transition probability matrices are calculated. The findings of Markov Chains analysis and real market shares data are compared and interpreted
