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



weakest one?
j j




The categories with examples are:
j j j j



Supporting facility - location, buildings, labs, parking Facilitating j j j j j j j



goods – class schedules, computers, books, chalk
j j j j j j j



Explicit services – classes with qualified instructors, placement offices j j j j j j j j



Implicit services – status and reputation (e.g., Ivy League schools)
j j j j j j j j j j




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



elements are their business schools and their Operations Management programs (of course).
j j j j j j j j j j j j



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



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




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




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



machines for belly boarding and rock climbing walls, as well as all sorts of other amenities to
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j



keep cruisers involved. The industry is doing record business as well.
j j j j j j j j j j j




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



formalized research program to try out new customer services/amenities such as video screensin
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j



next to teller lines), Intuit (e.g., putting Quicken money management software online), Ikea,
j j j j j j j j j j j j j



JetBlue Airlines, and Progressive Insurance (discussed later in the book).
j j j j j j j j j j




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




Product-service bundling is adding Value-added services to a firm’s product offerings to create j j j j j j j j j j j j



more value for the customer. This provides benefits in two areas. First, this differentiates the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j



organization from the competition. Secondly, these services tie customers to the organizationin a
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j



positive way. Alternatively, bundling can also involve adding products to a service, for example,
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j



adding the sale of convenience items and snacks at a hotel.
j j j j j j j j j j j




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




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



output of a process.
j j j j




6. Look at the job postings at http://www.indeed.com and evaluate the opportunities for an
j j j j j j j j j j j j



OSM major with several years of experience.
