【摘要】：Existing research literature in observing customer satisfaction, cognitive dissonance and its effects on brand trust in the household appliances industry in China and Pakistan has identified the existence of a positive relationship between the said variables. However, the underlying mechanism affecting this relationship is not yet clear. The existing studies are also more western oriented leaving plenty of research scope in the literature. This study is an attempt to fill this gap, and had significance in a way that it contributes to the literature by making a systematic comparison of the relationship between Cognitive Dissonance, Customer Satisfaction and Brand Trust in the home appliances industry in both China and Pakistan, countries with diverse socio-cultural and organizational environments. No such previous study has been conducted to investigate the proposed linkages in this perspective. This study established the extent to which various social, market and structural factors create pre-purchase dissonance in customer's mind and its effects on customer purchase process, customer satisfaction and finally customer trust towards a brand in the household appliance industry in both countries. Further, this study also looks for the moderating role of cognitive dissonance, customer satisfaction and brand trust which along with the other aspects of the current study also adds a new perspective to the existing literature with the help of the given settings.In order to achieve all the above stated significance, the present study followed a certain pattern, which consists of seven chapters,Chapter 1 Introduction:it gave an overview regarding the background of the study followed by the explanation of the statement of the problem; the objectives of the study and the significance of the study were also explained in the later part.Chapter 2 Literature Review:it followed the literature reviewed for the current study and sums up that there is a significant effect of Cognitive Dissonance on Customer Purchase Process, Customer Satisfaction and Brand Trust of a customer towards a particular brand.

This will not only help them maintain good customer relationship but also create a positive word of mouth for their brand that will definitely affect their sales.The current study will also have implications in terms of effective marketing strategies in the household appliances industry. The effective adoption and implementation will help household appliances industry align their products in the market as per their Marketing strategies. This will enable the Marketing professionals to play more active role in the performance of the industry and also in improving their commitment level in both the countries. Finally, this study will also allow management of the home appliances manufacturer companies in both the countries to have a comparative perspective and to analyze whether they can use the same practices used globally or not.
