8 Goods versus Services Source: A. Parasuraman, V.A. Zeithaml, and L. L. Berry, “A Conceptual Model of Service Quality and Its Implications for Future Research,” Journal of Marketing 49 (Fall 1985), pp. 41–50.

9 . The services sector provides employment to 23% of the work force and is growing quickly, with a growth rate of 7.5% in 1991–2000, up from 4.5% in 1951–80. It has the largest share in the GDP, accounting for 55% in 2007, up from 15% in Information technology and business process outsourcing are among the fastest growing sectors, having a cumulative growth rate of revenue 33.6% between 1997–98 and 2002–03 and contributing to 25% of the country's total exports in 2007–08. The growth in the IT sector is attributed to increased specialisation, and an availability of a large pool of low cost, highly skilled, educated and fluent English-speaking workers, on the supply side, matched on the demand side by increased demand from foreign consumers interested in India's service exports, or those looking to outsource their operations. The share of the Indian IT industry in the country's GDP increased from 4.8 % in 2005–06 to 7% in In 2009, seven Indian firms were listed among the top 15 technology outsourcing companies in the world

11 Why study Services Marketing?
Service-based economies Service as a business imperative in manufacturing and IT Deregulated industries and professional service needs Services marketing is different Service equals profits

12 Distinctive Characteristics of Services
Intangibility Inseparability Variability Perishability

13 Characteristics of Services Compared to Goods
Intangibility Heterogeneity Simultaneous Production and Consumption Perishability

14 Implications of Intangibility
Services cannot be inventoried Services cannot be easily patented Services cannot be readily displayed or communicated Pricing is difficult

15 Implications of Heterogeneity
Service delivery and customer satisfaction depend on employee and customer actions Service quality depends on many uncontrollable factors There is no sure knowledge that the service delivered matches what was planned and promoted

16 Implications of Simultaneous Production and Consumption
Customers participate in and affect the transaction Customers affect each other Employees affect the service outcome Decentralization may be essential Mass production is difficult

17 Implications of Perishability
It is difficult to synchronize supply and demand with services Services cannot be returned or resold

18 Challenges for Services
Defining and improving quality Designing and testing new services Communicating and maintaining a consistent image Accommodating fluctuating demand Motivating and sustaining employee commitment Coordinating marketing, operations, and human resource efforts Setting prices Finding a balance between standardization versus personalization Ensuring the delivery of consistent quality

19 Traditional Marketing Mix
All elements within the control of the firm that communicate the firm’s capabilities and image to customers or that influence customer satisfaction with the firm’s product and services: Product Price Place Promotion

20 Expanded Mix for Services -- The 7 Ps
Product Price Place Promotion People All human actors who play a part in service delivery and thus influence the buyer’s perceptions: namely, the firm’s personnel, the customer, and other customers in the service environment. Physical Evidence The environment in which the service is delivered and where the firm and customer interact, and any tangible components that facilitate performance or communication of the service. Process The actual procedures, mechanisms, and flow of activities by which the service is delivered—the service delivery and operating systems.

21 Expanded Marketing Mix for Services

22 Ways to Use the 7 Ps Overall Strategic Assessment
How effective is a firm’s services marketing mix? Is the mix well-aligned with overall vision and strategy? What are the strengths and weaknesses in terms of the 7 Ps? Specific Service Implementation Who is the customer? What is the service? How effectively does the services marketing mix for a service communicate its benefits and quality? What changes/ improvements are needed?
