2. Define the service package of your college or university. What is its strongest element? What isi
bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz zb



ts weakest one?

The categories with examples are:
bz bz bz bz



Supporting facility - bz bz



location, buildings, labs, parking Facilitating goods –
bz bz bz bz bz bz bz



class schedules, computers, books, chalk
bz bz bz bz bz



Explicit services – bz bz



classes with qualified instructors, placement officesImplicit service
bz bz bz bz bz bz zb bz



s – status and reputation (e.g., Ivy League schools)
bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz




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



nts are their business schools and their Operations Management programs (of course).Both
bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz zb bz



also have very dedicated alumni networks. A weak element of Indiana University is its weak
bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz



football program; for USC, weak elements are on-campus parking and housing.

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




Our vote goes to cruise lines which have introduced such onboard innovations as wave ma

chines for belly boarding and rock climbing walls, as well as all sorts of other amenities tok
bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz zb



eep cruisers involved. The industry is doing record business as well.
bz bz b z bz bz bz bz bz bz bz




Some of the standout companies in less innovative industries are Bank of America (has a for

malized research program to try out new customer services/amenities such as video screensi

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




Product-service bundling is adding Value- bz bz bz bz



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

es benefits in two areas. First, this differentiates theorganization from the competition. Secon
bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz zb bz bz bz bz



dly, these services tie customers to the organizationin a positive way. Alternatively, bundling
bz bz bz bz bz bz bz zb bz bz bz bz bz bz



can also involve adding products to a service, for example, adding the sale of convenience ite
bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz bz



ms and snacks at a hotel.

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




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

aloutput of a process.
