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




weakest one?
b b




The categories with examples are:
b b b b




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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

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




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




output of a process.
