Service Innovation & Customer Relationship Management: A Process Reengineering Viewpoint Minder Chen, Ph.D. Professor of MIS CSU Channel Islands Minder.Chen@CSUCI.EDU
Distinguishing services from goods • A service is a deed, a performance, a process, an effort. • Inseparability • Services are created and consumed at the same time • Services cannot be inventoried • Demand fluctuations cannot be solved by inventory processes • Quality control cannot be achieved before consumption • Consideration: Does the ability to tailor and customize goods to the customers’ demands and preferences mean that these goods also have an inseparability characteristic?
Distinguishing services from goods • Heterogeneity • From the client’s perspective, there is typically a wide variation in service offerings: • Personalization of services increases their heterogeneous nature • Perceived quality-of-service varies from one client to the next • Consideration: Can a homogeneous perception of quality due to customer preference idiosyncrasies (or due to customization) also benefit the goods manufacturer? Standardization vs. Customization/ Personalization
Distinguishing services from goods • Perishability Any service capacity that goes unused is perished • Services cannot be stored so that when not used to maximum capacity the service provider is losing opportunities. (No inventory) • Service capability estimation and planning as well as pricing via revenue management are key aspects for service management • Consideration: Do clients who participate in some service process acquire knowledge which represents part of the stored service’s value? What might the impact be? Priceline.com
Distinguishing services from goods • Intangibility • Services are ideas and concepts that are part of a process Process mapping • The client typically relies on the service providers’ reputation and the trust they have with them to help predict quality-of-service and make service choices. WOM Effect • Regulations and governance are means to assuring some acceptable level of quality-of-service (Service-level agreement) Service performance measure • Consideration: Do most services processes involve some goods?
Definition of Innovation • An innovation is the creation and application of a new or significantly improved technology, product/service, process, or business model that is accepted by markets and society. • Adapted from OECD 2005 and Wikipedia. • Innovation applies ideas and new knowledge to the production of goods and services to improve product/service quality and process performance. • UK Design Council http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NK0WR2GtFs&feature=watch-vrec http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/Documents/Documents/OurWork/Insight/DesignForInnovation/DesignForInnovation_Dec2011.pdf
Formula for True Innovation • America’s advantage, if it continues to have one, will be that it can produce people who are also more creative and imaginative, those who know how to stand at the intersection of the humanities and the sciences. • That is the formula for true innovation, … • Walter Isaacson is the author of “Steve Jobs.” • http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/30/opinion/sunday/steve-jobss-genius.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
Definition of Reengineering The fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of core business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in critical performance measures such as quality, cost, and cycle time. Source: Adapted from Hammer and Champy, Reengineering the Corporation, 1993
Definition of Process • A process is simply a structured, measured set of activities designed to produce a specific output for a particular customers or market. -- Thomas Davenport • Characteristics: • A specific sequencing of work activities across time and place • A beginning and an end (e.g., Marketing is a function not a process.) • Clearly defined inputs and outputs • Customer-focus/customer facing Service-oriented • How the work is done • Process ownership • Measurable and meaningful performance

Characteristics of Cloud Services NIST identifies several characteristics for a service to be considered “Cloud”: • On-demand self-service: The ability for an end user to sign up and receive services without the long delays that have characterized traditional IT. • Broad network access: Ability to access the service via standard platforms (desktop, laptop, mobile etc). • Resource pooling: Resources are pooled across multiple customers. • Rapid elasticity: Capability can scale to cope with demand peaks. • Measured Service: Billing is metered and delivered as a utility service can be acquired quickly and easily. http://resources.idgenterprise.com/original/AST-0032300_Understanding_the_Cloud_Computing_Stack.pdf
