Failure demand is additional demand for an organization's products or services due to that organization's failures. For example, if a telecom company has a cumbersome and failure prone process for canceling accounts, it may result in increased customer retention as customers are unable to easily cancel their service.
Organizations that benefit from failure demand may do so unintentionally. As a conscious decision, failure demand is often a questionable strategy that is the hallmark of low quality organizations destined for conflict with regulators and customers. |
