    Study Notes

    Non-Transferrable Ownership

    • Services in general are not transferable from provider to consumer.
    • Customers obtain temporary access or benefit from expertise.
    • Example: Gym membership provides access to facilities not ownership.
    • Challenges: It is difficult to set prices that accurately reflect the value of the service.

    ### Classification of Service

    • Services are intangible economic activities which offer value to customers.
    • Services can be classified into categories based on their purpose, like temporary use of physical goods, exclusive access to a specific location, or benefits derived from professional skills.
    • This classification helps to identify the management challenges associated with each type of service.

    ### Service Package

    • Service packages encompass all elements that make up a service offering.
    • Explicit Services: The primary service that the customer receives, usually measurable.
    • Implicit Services: Additional benefits that are not stated explicitly, but contribute to the overall customer experience.
    • Supporting Facility: The physical resources necessary for service delivery.
    • Facilitating Goods: Tangible elements consumed during the service transaction.
    • Information: Essential for facilitating effective service delivery.

    Value Creation

    • Value is not just created by the manufacturer; it's co-created with the customer and other stakeholders.
    • The customer is an active co-creator of value.

    Stages of Economic Evolution

    • Preindustrial (Agrarian) Society: Societies where the economy is based on farming.
    • Industrial Society: The economy is based on manufacturing and large-scale production.
    • Post-Industrial (Service) Society: The economy is dominated by services and information-related activities.

    ### Why Shift Towards Services?

    • Increased productivity in specific sectors leads to labor redistribution towards services.
    • Services support industrial development, providing logistics, utilities, and marketing.
    • Demographic changes like population growth and increased consumption drive demand for services.
    • Rising incomes contribute to increased spending on services that enhance quality of life.

    Experience Economy

    • Personalization: Tailoring experiences to individual customers.
    • Engagement: Actively involving customers in the experience.
    • Emotional Connection: Creating memorable experiences that forge a connection between the customer and the brand.
    • Memorability: Focusing on creating unique and unforgettable moments.
    • Transformation: Providing value that makes a lasting impact on the customer's life.
    • Integration: Blending the experience with the customers' lifestyle and values.
    • Exclusivity: Providing exclusive experiences that cannot be easily replicated.
    • Thematic Cohesion: Integrating various elements of the experience into a unified whole.
    • Attention to Detail: Ensuring that every aspect of the experience is aligned with the desired emotional and psychological effects.
