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.
