    Study Notes

    Fundamentals of Service Marketing

    • Services are actions or performances offered by one party to another, essentially intangible and not resulting in ownership.
    • Services are experiences, use, or benefits, not ownership.
    • Pure goods include food, chemicals, and books.
    • Core goods include appliances, data storage systems, and vehicles.
    • Core services include airlines and hotels.
    • Pure services include teaching and medical advice.

    IHIP

    • Intangibility: Services cannot be touched, seen, or stored like physical products.
    • Heterogeneity: Service experiences vary due to people involved; quality can differ.
    • Inseparability: Services are created and consumed simultaneously; customers often participate.
    • Perishability: Services cannot be stored or saved for later; unsold services result in lost revenue.

    Criticism of IHIP

    • Vargo and Lusch argue that IHIP is outdated, doesn't distinguish services from goods, focuses on manufacturers, and implies inappropriate strategies.

    Blurred Lines Between Products and Services

    • Some products integrate service components (e.g., software updates for electronics).

    Customer Centricity

    • Focusing on creating dual value for firms and customers leads to long-term customer loyalty, competitive advantage, and profitability.
    • Determine target groups, understand and address customer needs, and optimize touchpoints/alternative approaches to meet those needs.

    Value Creation Spheres

    • Provider sphere: Value through service design and delivery.
    • Joint sphere: Value is co-created during direct interactions between customers and providers.
    • Customer sphere: Value is realized independently by the customer through experiences.

    Challenges to Customer Centricity

    • Organizational resistance.
    • Organizational silos (focusing on internal goals instead of customer needs).
    • Misaligned metrics with customer outcomes.
    • Resource allocation issues.
    • Resistance to change.
    • Difficulty in combining online and offline customer data.

    Customer Co-Creation & Participation

    • Customers are active participants in creating value during service delivery.
    • Customers contribute effort, knowledge, or inputs during service delivery stages.
    • Different ways to participate include mandatory, replaceable, and voluntary participation.

    Complaint Management & Service Recovery

    • Service failure: A mismatch between customer expectations and delivered service.
    • Why customers complain: Compensation, expressing frustration, providing feedback, and preventing similar failures.
    • Proactively manage service failures to retain customer trust through root cause analysis and employee training for recovery.
    • Barriers to complaint: Fear of confrontation, lack of complaint channels, belief complaints won't be addressed, and presence of other customers discourages complaints.

    Service Recovery Journey Framework

    • Pre-recovery stage: Customer awareness of failure, emotional responses, and seeking support.
    • Recovery stage: Interaction between company and customer to resolve issues.
    • Post-recovery stage: Customer evaluation of resolution leading to long-term perception of the company.

    Effective Service Recovery Strategies

    • Be proactive; identify and address failures.
    • Conduct root cause analyses to prevent future issues.
    • Train employees to make quick decisions and handle complaints.
    • Use service guarantees to build trust (e.g., refunds).

    Service Culture

    • Shared values and behaviors that prioritize service excellence, both internally and externally, which results in a service climate with customer-oriented employee behavior.

    Coordination, Cooperation, Capability, & Connection

    • Harmonize activities, prioritize customer needs, train employees for customer-focused solutions, and foster relationships with external partners to generate better value.

    Service Climate Importance

    • Encourages a shift to service-oriented industries.
    • Co-creates value through employee and customer collaboration.
    • Builds a unique, sustainable competitive advantage.

    Adaptive Service Behavior

    • Employees adjusting behaviors and offerings to meet individual customer needs.

    Service Offering

    • Adapting services based on specific customer needs.

    Understanding Customer Experience

    • Customer experience encompasses firm-controlled direct interactions (e.g., customer service) and external touchpoints (e.g., social media reviews).
    • Multidimensional: physical, emotional, cognitive, and social aspects.

    Interactional perspective

    • Real, imaginary, past, present, and future interactions can be direct and indirect which the customer perceives.

    Service Experience Dimensions

    • Tangibles (physical environment, appearance)
    • Reliability (consistency)
    • Responsiveness(speed in addressing needs)
    • Assurance (knowledge, courtesy, and trust)
    • Empathy (care and attention)

    Recommendations by Lemon and Verhoef

    • Seamless experience across pre, core, and post service
    • Embrace a service ecosystem perspective
    • Arrange internally facilitated customer experience management.

    Service Development and Innovation

    • Phase review process (sequential, planned process).
    • Stage-gate process (flexible, iterative process).
    • Gap model: identifies and closes gaps between expected and perceived service.
    • Customer journey mapping
    • Gap 1 - Listening Gap
    • Gap 2 - Design and Standard Gap
    • Gap 3 - Performance Gap
    • Gap 4 - Communication Gap

    • Includes technological innovations like Al-powered technologies like Al chatbots and recommendations.

    Social Media Marketing Strategy (SMMS)

    • Includes initiatives like reducing waste, enhancing employee well-being, and promoting cost-effective operations that also generate revenue through sustainable services.
    • Stakeholder theory influences decision-making around social responsibility.
