Abstract

This paper aims to explore definitions, dimensions, and challenges of multichannel integration quality (MCIQ) in services marketing through a systematic literature review, and qualitative interviews. The findings from the thematic analysis of literature, qualitative data analysis of twenty in-depth interviews and two focus group discussions identified five major dimensions and eleven sub-dimensions of MCIQ. This study extends the emerging integration quality research by evidencing new dimensions and sub-dimensions in the context of multichannel services marketing. By incorporating these insights and addressing the challenges identified in this paper, managers will be able to engage the customers by creating a successful multichannel blueprint.
