2. Define ,the ,service ,package ,of ,your ,college ,or ,university. ,What ,is ,its ,strongest ,element?
,What ,is,its ,weakest ,one?
The ,categories ,with ,examples ,are:
Supporting ,facility ,- ,location, ,buildings, ,labs, ,parking
,Facilitating ,goods ,– ,class ,schedules, ,computers, ,books,
,chalk
Explicit ,services ,– ,classes ,with ,qualified ,instructors, ,placement
,offices,Implicit ,services ,– ,status ,and ,reputation ,(e.g., ,Ivy
,League ,schools)
At ,Indiana ,University ,and ,the ,University ,of ,Southern ,California, ,among ,their
,strongest ,elements ,are ,their ,business ,schools ,and ,their ,Operations ,Management
,programs ,(of ,course).,Both ,also ,have ,very ,dedicated ,alumni ,networks. ,A ,weak
,element ,of ,Indiana ,University ,is ,its ,weak ,football ,program; ,for ,USC, ,weak ,elements
,are ,on-campus ,parking ,and ,housing.
3. What ,service ,industry ,has ,impressed ,you ,the ,most ,with ,its ,innovativeness?
Our ,vote ,goes ,to ,cruise ,lines ,which ,have ,introduced ,such ,onboard ,innovations ,as
,wave ,machines ,for ,belly ,boarding ,and ,rock ,climbing ,walls, ,as ,well ,as ,all ,sorts ,of
,other ,amenities ,to,keep ,cruisers ,involved. , The ,industry ,is ,doing ,record ,business ,as
,well.
Some ,of ,the ,standout ,companies ,in ,less ,innovative ,industries ,are ,Bank ,of ,America
,(has ,a ,formalized ,research ,program ,to ,try ,out ,new ,customer ,services/amenities ,such
,as ,video ,screens,in ,next ,to ,teller ,lines), ,Intuit ,(e.g., ,putting ,Quicken ,money
,management ,software ,online), ,Ikea,,JetBlue ,Airlines, ,and ,Progressive ,Insurance
,(discussed ,later ,in ,the ,book).
4. What ,is ,product-service ,bundling ,and ,what ,are ,the ,benefits ,to ,customers?
Product-service ,bundling ,is ,adding ,Value-added ,services ,to ,a ,firm’s ,product
,offerings ,to ,create,more ,value ,for ,the ,customer. ,This ,provides ,benefits ,in ,two ,areas.
,First, ,this ,differentiates ,the,organization ,from ,the ,competition. ,Secondly, ,these
,services ,tie ,customers ,to ,the ,organization,in ,a ,positive ,way. ,Alternatively, ,bundling
,can ,also ,involve ,adding ,products ,to ,a ,service, ,for ,example, ,adding ,the ,sale ,of
,convenience ,items ,and ,snacks ,at ,a ,hotel.
