The question asks about the marketing metric used to evaluate if a firm is performing on the five service quality dimensions by finding the minimum level of acceptable service. The answer options present different metrics or concepts, so we’ll assess each one in turn.
Option 1: 'the Service Gaps Model' — While the Service Gaps Model (or gaps model) helps identify where service quality gaps occur between customer expectations and perceptions, it is a framework for diagnosing gaps rather than a single metric that measures the minimum acceptable level of service across the five dimensions. So this choice is not the metric described in the prompt.
Option 2: 'employee surveys' — Employee surveys capture internal perceptions, engagement, and potential service delivery issues from staff, but they do not constitute a metric that directly assesses the minimum acceptable service level across the five service quality dimensions from the customer’s viewpoint. Therefore this is not the correct metric for evaluating the minimum acceptable service level.
Option 3: 'a voice-of-customer program' — A voice-of-customer (VOC) program collects customer feedback to understand needs and preferences, and can inform service improvements, but the question is specifically about a metric that evaluates performance on the five dimensions by identifying the minimum acceptable level. A VOC program is broader and not a single metric describing minimum acceptable service, so it does not precisely fit the description.
Option 4: 'the zone of tolerance' — The zone of tolerance is the range between a customer’s acceptable service level and their desired service level; it effectively measures the minimum acceptable performance across service dimensions by identifying the threshold at which customers consider service quality to be acceptable. This aligns with the idea of finding the minimum level of acceptable service across the five dimensions, making it the correct metric in this context.
In summary, the zone of tolerance uniquely captures the concept of the minimum acceptable service level and is the most appropriate metric among the given options, whereas the others describe frameworks or programs that inform service quality but do not specify the minimum acceptable threshold in the same way.

The marketing metric used to evaluate if a firm is performing on the five service quality dimensions by finding the minimum level of acceptable service is Blank ______.
