The European Consumer Satisfaction Index (ECSI) is an economic indicator that measures customer satisfaction. ECSI is an adaptation of the Swedish Customer Satisfaction Barometer (Fornell, 1992) and is compatible with the American Customer Satisfaction Index. The indicators describing the latent variables are given for the Mobile Phone Industry. The original items scaled from 1 to 10 have been transformed into new normalized variables. The minimum possible value of each variable is 0 and its maximum possible value is equal to 10.
