Drivers analysis is a technique of determining factors that influence customers loyalty (Xia & Wang, 2020). The analysis tries to find out the correlation between certain attributes and the loyalty of customers to a specific brand. The key drivers in the hardware industry from the B2B and B2C standpoint of customers are productivity, warranty offered by the service provider, the size of the RAM and model among other factors. In the key drivers analysis results in the excel spreadsheet I have used a Net Promoter Score of 10% and computed customers satisfaction and the correlation of the identified drivers to various subcategories of the Hardware industry. For instance the model has a positive correlation with hardware parts.
