2. Define the service package of your college or university. What is its strongest
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


element? What isits weakest one?
hj hj hj jh hj hj




The categories with examples are:
hj hj hj hj


Supporting facility - location, buildings, labs, parking hj hj hj hj hj hj


Facilitating goods – class schedules, computers, books,
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


chalk
hj


Explicit services – classes with qualified instructors, placement
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


officesImplicit services – status and reputation (e.g., Ivy
hj jh hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


League schools)
hj hj




At Indiana University and the University of Southern California, among their
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


strongest elements are their business schools and their Operations Management
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


programs (of course).Both also have very dedicated alumni networks. A weak
hj hj hj jh hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


element of Indiana University is its weak football program; for USC, weak
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


elements are on-campus parking and housing.

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




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


wave machines for belly boarding and rock climbing walls, as well as all sorts of
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


other amenities tokeep cruisers involved. The industry is doing record business
hj hj hj jh hj hj h j hj hj hj hj hj


as well.

Some of the standout companies in less innovative industries are Bank of America
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


(has a formalized research program to try out new customer services/amenities
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


such as video screensin next to teller lines), Intuit (e.g., putting Quicken money
hj hj hj hj jh hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


management software online), Ikea,JetBlue Airlines, and Progressive Insurance
hj hj hj hj jh hj hj hj hj


(discussed later in the book).

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




Product-service bundling is adding Value-added services to a firm’s product hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


offerings to createmore value for the customer. This provides benefits in two
hj hj hj jh hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


areas. First, this differentiates theorganization from the competition. Secondly,
hj hj hj hj hj jh hj hj hj hj


these services tie customers to the organizationin a positive way. Alternatively,
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj jh hj hj hj hj


bundling can also involve adding products to a service, for example, adding the
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


sale of convenience items and snacks at a hotel.
