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

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

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

,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.

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.
