Part 5
5.1 Finding of the study: The help of hypothesis analysis we have found that the GP and BL customers satisfaction is nearest. The analysis of hypothesis we have found between the GP and BL customers expenditure is nearest. We also find the packages and offer of the GP and BL. As the analysis of the hypothesis we have found that the GP and BL customers thinking their operator role of economic development of Bangladesh is nearest. The analysis of hypothesis we have found that a significant level of GP customer thinks their mobile connection is burden for them. The analysis of hypothesis we have found that the overall customer satisfaction of Gp and BL nearest..
5.2 conclusions: In conclusion, it is to be noted that this term paper is prepared for a comparison of customer satisfaction between GP and BL. As we have found after the hypothesis analysis some issue such customer expenditure, customer satisfaction, customer thinking of economic development of their operator are may nearest but most of the customer may think their connection is burden. So at last we can say that for think of GP customers connection burden the GP customer satisfaction is slightly low than BL at issue of thinking of mobile connection burden. 5.3 Recommendation: 1. The GP company should try to decrease their call rate to reduce the think of their customer that their mobile connection is burden. 2. The BL company should try to reduce their various offer and packages because customer cannot decide which offer should try. 3. To increase customer satisfaction level the both companies should try to emphasis on their customer needs because at the some of issues their hypothesis result is nearest.
