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.

- Industrial Society: The economy is based on manufacturing and large-scale production.
