2. Define the service package of your college or university. What is its strongest element? W
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
hat isits weakest one?
CT T
C CT CT
The categories with examples are:
CT CT CT CT
Supporting facility - CT CT
location, buildings, labs, parking Facilitating goods –
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
class schedules, computers, books, chalk
CT CT CT CT CT
Explicit services – CT CT
classes with qualified instructors, placement officesImplicit serv

ices – status and reputation (e.g., Ivy League schools)
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
At Indiana University and the University of Southern California, among their strongest
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
elements are their business schools and their Operations Management programs (of
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
course).Both also have very dedicated alumni networks. A weak element of Indiana U
T
C CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
niversity is its weak football program; for USC, weak elements are on-
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
campus parking and housing. CT CT CT
3. What service industry has impressed you the most with its innovativeness?
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
Our vote goes to cruise lines which have introduced such onboard innovations as wav
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
e machines for belly boarding and rock climbing walls, as well as all sorts of other am
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
enities tokeep cruisers involved. The industry is doing record business as well.
CT T
C CT CT C T CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
Some of the standout companies in less innovative industries are Bank of America (has
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT C
a formalized research program to try out new customer services/amenities such as vide

o screensin next to teller lines), Intuit (e.g., putting Quicken money management softwa

4. What is product-service bundling and what are the benefits to customers?
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
Product-service bundling is adding Value- CT CT CT CT
added services to a firm’s product offerings to createmore value for the customer. This
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT T
C CT CT CT CT CT CT
provides benefits in two areas. First, this differentiates theorganization from the compet
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT T
C CT CT CT
ition. Secondly, these services tie customers to the organizationin a positive way. Alter
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT T
C CT CT CT CT
natively, bundling can also involve adding products to a service, for example, adding th
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
e sale of convenience items and snacks at a hotel.

5. What is the difference between a service and a good?
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
A service is an intangible process (you can’t hold it in your hands), while a good is the
CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT CT
physicaloutput of a process. T
