Product Description
In 1598 a fleet of five East India ships from the Nether-lands landed on the uninhabited island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, which they claimed as a Dutch possession. Being rich in food and water and free of diseases, Mauritius became an important station for outward or homeward-bound ships of the Dutch East India Company, who built a fort, garrisoned the island, began cutting the island´s ebony forests, and introduced slaves from Madagascar, some of whom succeeded in escaping Dutch rule and lived as refugees in the interior of the island. Even in the seventeenth century, Mauritius had a multiethnic population. This book describes the vicissitudes of the Dutch on Mauritius and examines the commanders of the island, from the successful Adriaen van der Stel to the despotic Isaac Lamotius, from the disastrous George Wreede to the diplomatic but harsh Roelof Diodati. Appendices list ships calling at Mauritius and the first foreign inhabitants of Mauritius. ... Read more

From the author: This study aims at identifying the key service attributes that characterized the service proposition as well as assessing the quality of service being dispensed in the port of Mauritius using the SERVQUAL instrument. The original SERVQUAL model was modified to fit the port sector, and thus deemed to capture a wider scope of relevant data to enable pertinent findings. Stratified sampling method was adopted revelling into three sample groups. Results from the analysis shows that among the most relevant dimensions are 'reliability', 'responsiveness', and 'assurance', while 'tangibles' is modestly regarded. Perception-expectation gaps, weighted gap scores and SERVQUAL quality score were calculated across each dimension as well. One of the prime findings is that customers are not satisfied with the level of service being delivered at the port. While management and employees have about the same understanding of the concept, their understanding differs much from that of customers resulting into dissatisfaction.
