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’–

At’Indiana’University’and’the’University’of’Southern’California,’among’their’strongest’elemen
ts’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’footbal
l’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’machin
es’for’belly’boarding’and’rock’climbing’walls,’as’well’as’all’sorts’of’other’amenities’to’keep’cruis
ers’involved.’ The’industry’is’doing’record’business’as’well.

Some’of’the’standout’companies’in’less’innovative’industries’are’Bank’of’America’(has’a’formaliz
ed’research’program’to’try’out’new’customer’services/amenities’such’as’video’screens’in’next’to’t

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,’t
hese’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’snac
ks’at’a’hotel.

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

A’service’is’an’intangible’process’(you’can’t’hold’it’in’your’hands),’while’a’good’is’the’physical’ou
tput’of’a’process.
