It is interesting that there is significant modeling in the customer satisfaction/retention area. Finance (economics) is modeling-heavy. I remember completing projects such as the following during the MSF program:
- Developing a model for interest rate prediction
- Modeling the appropriate mix of assets and liabilities for a financial institution such as a bank (asset-liability management).

I found the following articles on modeling in the customer area:

For the Information Technology Management course, I completed two papers that focused on the customer/consumer:

(1) Big Data Analytics for Consumer Insights

(2) How Website Design Affects Customer Complaints

I also remember the paper comparing two CEOs that I submitted for my first course at NCU. One of those CEOs contributed the 'customer focus' to management theory & practice.
