Examples are privacy of loan office, security of a well lighted parking lot.,Distinctive Characteristics of Services,Customer Participation in the Service Process: attention to facility design but opportunities for co-productionSimultaneity: opportunities for personal selling, interaction creates customer perceptions of qualityPerishability: cannot inventory, opportunity loss of idle capacity, need to match supply with demandIntangibility: creative advertising, no patent protection, importance of reputation Heterogeneity: customer participation in delivery process results in variability,Strategic Service Classification (Nature of the Service Act),Direct Recipient of the ServiceNature of the Service Act People Things Peoples bodies: Physical possessions: Health care

service means being unique in brand image, technology use, features, or reputation for customer service.,Competitive Service Strategies (Focus),Buyer Group: (e.g. USAA insurance and military

hour ATM)Convenience(Site location)Dependability(On-time performance)Personalization(Know customers name)Price(Quality surrogate) Quality(Perceptions important)Reputation(Word-of-mouth)Safety(Customer well-being)Speed(Avoid excessive waiting),Service Purchase Decision,Service Qualifier: To be taken seriously a certain level must be attained on the competitive dimension, as defined by other market players. Examples are cleanliness for a fast food restaurant or safe aircraft for an airline.Service Winner: The competitive dimension used to make the final choice among competitors. Example is price. Service Loser: Failure to deliver at or above the expected level for a competitive dimension. Examples are failure to repair auto (dependability), rude treatment (personalization) or late delivery of package (speed).,Competitive Role of Information in Services,Strategic Focus Competitive Use of Information,The Virtual Value Chain,Marketplace vs MarketspaceCreating New Markets Using Information (Gather, Organize, Select, Synthesize, and Distribute)Three Stage Evolution 1st Stage (Visibility): See physical operations more effectively with information Ex. USAA “paperless operation” 2nd Stage (Mirroring Capability): Substitute virtual activities for physical Ex. USAA “automate underwriting” 3rd Stage (New Customer Relationships): Draw on information to deliver value to customer in new ways Ex. USAA “event oriented service”,Limits in the Use of Information,Anti-competitive (Barrier to entry)Fairness (Yield management)Invasion of Privacy (Micro-marketing)Data Security (Medical records)Reliability (Credit report),Using Information to Categorize Customers,Coding grades customers on how profitable their business is.Routing is used by call centers to place customers in different queues based on c
