Text Chapter 1: Role of Services in an Economy Text Chapter 1: Role of Services in an Economy Service Management Professor James Fitzsimmons University of Texas at Austin

Chapter 1 Learning Objectives  Describe the central role of services in an economy.  Discuss the evolution of an economy from an agrarian society to a service society.  Describe the features of preindustrial, industrial, and postindustrial societies.  Describe the features of the new service economy

Definitions  What are services?  Service enterprises?

Service Definitions Services are deeds, processes, and performances. Services are deeds, processes, and performances. Valarie Zeithaml & Mary Jo Bitner A service is a time-perishable, intangible experience performed for a customer acting in the role of a co-producer. A service is a time-perishable, intangible experience performed for a customer acting in the role of a co-producer. James Fitzsimmons James Fitzsimmons

Definition of Service Firms Service enterprises are organizations that facilitate the production and distribution of goods, support other firms in meeting their goals, and add value to our personal lives. Service enterprises are organizations that facilitate the production and distribution of goods, support other firms in meeting their goals, and add value to our personal lives.

The New Experience Economy

The Four Realms of an Experience

Experience Design Principles  Theme the Experience (Forum shops)  Harmonize Impressions with Positive Cues (O’Hare airport parking garage)  Eliminate Negative Cues (Cinemark talking trash containers)  Mix in Memorabilia (Hard Rock T-shirts)  Engage all Five Senses (Mist in Rainforest)

Source of Service Sector Growth  Innovation Push theory (e.g. Post-it) Product looking for a problem Product looking for a problem  Pull theory (e.g. Cash Management) Need drives innovation Need drives innovation  Services derived from products (Video Rental) Information driven services Difficulty of testing service prototypes  Social Trends Aging of the population Two-income families Growth in number of single people Home as sanctuary

Discussion Topics  Describe the work that you do from a service perspective  Illustrate how the type of work you do influences a person’s lifestyle.

Quiz Question  Name the top 10 USA companies by revenue in 2006  How many would you describe as service companies?

Example Service Innovation: Disney World  Link Link

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)  Method for evaluating efficiency of similar venues/products  Incorporates inputs and outputs – not just one dimensional  Uses LINEAR PROGRAMMING (LP)

Sample LP: Product Mix Problem  How much beer and ale to produce from three scarce resources: 480 pounds of corn 480 pounds of corn 160 ounces of hops 160 ounces of hops 1190 pounds of malt 1190 pounds of malt  A barrel of ale consumes 5 pounds of corn, 4 ounces of hops, 35 pounds of malt  A barrel of beer consumes 15 pounds of corn, 4 ounces of hops and 20 pounds of malt  Profits are $13 per barrel of ale, $23 for beer

Key terms of LP  Variables  Parameters  Objective function  Constraints

DEA summary of terms  Define variables E_k = efficiency of unit k E_k = efficiency of unit k u_j= coefficient for output j (relative decrease in efficiency per unit reduction of output value) u_j= coefficient for output j (relative decrease in efficiency per unit reduction of output value) v_i = coefficient for input i (relative increase in efficiency per unit decrease of input value) v_i = coefficient for input i (relative increase in efficiency per unit decrease of input value) O_jk = observed ouput j units generated by service unit k during one time period O_jk = observed ouput j units generated by service unit k during one time period I_ik = no. units input used by service unit k during one period I_ik = no. units input used by service unit k during one period  Note: k=1..K = service unit counter k=1..K = service unit counter j=1..M = output counter j=1..M = output counter i=1..N = input counter i=1..N = input counter

DEA Objective and constraints Evaluating unit e Trick = Rescaling to get linear equations
