Abstract: This study combines the opinions of consumers and experts (managers and scholars) and employs the four-phase research methods (IPGA, DEMATEL, QFD and MBO) in order to determine the key factors for the superior service of mobile banking. The results of IPGA and DEMATEL show a total of 7 critical service quality factors that need to be improved for mobile banking. According to the QFD results, 6 service quality improvement strategies have been developed, and the sequence of improvements is adequately discussed herein. Lastly, this study establishes a set of mobile banking objective management progress control and performance evaluation sheets, based on the concept of MBO, in order to manage and control the improvement progress and effect of mobile banking service quality. The proposed mechanism can achieve the objective of superior service quality in an expedited manner with limited resources.
