Service Definitions Orlando Services are deeds, processes, and performances. Valarie Zeithaml & Mary Jo Bitner A service is a time-perishable, intangible experience performed for a customer acting in the role of a co-producer. James Fitzsimmons
Definition of Service Firms Service enterprises are organizations that facilitate the production and distribution of goods, support other firms in meeting their goals, and add value to our personal lives. James Fitzsimmons SM
Service Can Mean all of These • Service as a product • Customer service • Services as value add for goods • Service embedded in a tangible product
Examples of Service Industries • Health Care • hospital, medical practice, dentistry, eye care • Professional Services • accounting, legal, architectural • Financial Services • banking, investment advising, insurance • Hospitality • restaurant, hotel/motel, bed & breakfast • ski resort, rafting • Travel • airline, travel agency, theme park • Others • hair styling, pest control, plumbing, lawn maintenance, counseling services, health club, interior design Airline
Challenges for Services • Defining and improving quality • Ensuring the delivery of consistent quality • Designing and testing new services • Communicating and maintaining a consistent image • Accommodating fluctuating demand • Motivating and sustaining employee commitment • Coordinating marketing, operations, and human resource efforts • Setting prices • Finding a balance between standardization versus customization SQ
Why do firms focus on Services? • Services can provide higher profit margins and growth potential than products • Customer satisfaction and loyalty are driven by service excellence • Services can be used as a differentiation strategy in competitive markets SQ
Implications of Intangibility • Services cannot be inventoried • Services cannot be easily patented • Services cannot be readily displayed or communicated • Pricing is difficult
Implications of Heterogeneity • Service delivery and customer satisfaction depend on employee and customer actions • Service quality depends on many uncontrollable factors • There is no sure knowledge that the service delivered matches what was planned and promoted
Implications of Simultaneous Production and Consumption • Customers participate in and affect the transaction • Customers affect each other • Employees affect the service outcome • Decentralization may be essential • Mass production is difficult
Implications of Perishability • It is difficult to synchronize supply and demand with services • Services cannot be returned or resold
