    The latest marketing theories and researches have showed that for understanding the complexity of service organizations and ensuring their long term success, the key point of success is the customer. Also the related concepts such as customer orientation, customer satisfaction and organizational culture have great importance. The purpose of this study is to analyze the variables that determine the satisfaction level of employees, agents and ultimate customers of an insurance company, to examine the relationships between them and additionally to describe and compare the types and patterns of organizational culture within the selected company. Three different surveys were sent to the groups (all company employees, all insurance agents and some ultimate customers assigned by their agents of the selected insurance company) by e-mail to determine their satisfaction levels and their perceptions with respect to the cultural profile of the company. The quantitative data collected were analyzed by statistical methods through the SPSS version 15.0 software. The results showed that there exist relationships both between company employee satisfaction and insurance agent satisfaction, and between perception of the insurance agent service quality and perception of the ultimate customer service quality. In spite of the strength of these associations being very low, it would be right to deal with these concepts in a holistic perspective and not to think separately for reaching the goals of the company. Also, organizational culture profile of the selected insurance company was determined and seen that there was evidence of reasonable balance in the four cultural types. It can be said that this balance will provide organizational effectiveness to the company.

    Customer retention dynamics have been receiving attention of the academic researchers especially for the last two decades. The challenging conditions of the swiftly increasing global competition have increased the importance of the customer retention concept in order to be able to foresee and react to the changes both in the competitive off-line and on-line business environment. This dissertation focuses on the customer retention strategy formulation among the marketing top level executives and senior management of the related companies. This study is an attempt to define the creation of customer retention intensions through explaining the proposed relationships between these dimensions based on the applications and ideas of the managers working at the leading organized ready-to-wear retailers of Turkey. A model is developed and related hypotheses are constructed based on the relevant academic literature and then tested through measuring attitudes of top management executives and marketing managers of leading organized ready-to-wear retailers in Turkey, who are members of United Brands Association and both active in off-line and online channels. The survey that has been conducted within this study employs an interval scale questionnaire, which has been applied online by sending an e-mail to each respondent including the website link of the survey and a scanned signed cover letter. The research findings provide useful implications to be considered on the way to sustain customer retention. The study is an attempt to reveal the attitudes of business professionals towards formulating inter-organizational customer retention strategies within the context of the proposed model in the dissertation.
