2. Define the service package of your college or university. What is its strongest element? What isit
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N N

s weakest one?
1N 1N




The categories with examples are:
1N 1N 1N 1N




Supporting facility - 1N 1N




location, buildings, labs, parking Facilitating goods –
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




class schedules, computers, books, chalk
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




Explicit services – 1N 1N




classes with qualified instructors, placement officesImplicit services –

1 1N 1N




status and reputation (e.g., Ivy League schools)
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




At Indiana University and the University of Southern California, among their strongest eleme
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




nts are their business schools and their Operations Management programs (of course).Both al
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N N
1 1N




so have very dedicated alumni networks. A weak element of Indiana University is its weak foot
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




ball program; for USC, weak elements are on-campus parking and housing.
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




3. What service industry has impressed you the most with its innovativeness?
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




Our vote goes to cruise lines which have introduced such onboard innovations as wave machin
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




es for belly boarding and rock climbing walls, as well as all sorts of other amenities tokeep crui
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N N
1 1N




sers involved. The industry is doing record business as well.
1N 1 N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




Some of the standout companies in less innovative industries are Bank of America (has a formali
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N

rlines, and Progressive Insurance (discussed later in the book).
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




4. What is product-service bundling and what are the benefits to customers?
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




Product-service bundling is adding Value- 1N 1N 1N 1N




added services to a firm’s product offerings to createmore value for the customer. This provides
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N N
1 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




benefits in two areas. First, this differentiates theorganization from the competition. Secondly,
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N N
1 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




these services tie customers to the organizationin a positive way. Alternatively, bundling can al
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N N
1 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




so involve adding products to a service, for example, adding the sale of convenience items and sn
1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




acks at a hotel. 1N 1N 1N




5. What is the difference between a service and a good? 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N 1N




A service is an intangible process (you can’t hold it in your hands), while a good is the physicalou
