The document discusses service quality, describing the five dimensions of service quality as reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangibles. It explains the concept of "moments of truth" in customer service and how to use tools like gap analysis, statistical process control, unconditional guarantees, and service recovery to improve quality. The goal is to exceed customer expectations at each customer touchpoint and turn dissatisfied customers into loyal advocates through effective complaint resolution.
The document discusses key concepts around service quality and customer satisfaction. It defines service as an intangible offering that does not result in ownership. Service quality is measured by comparing customer expectations to actual performance. There are various definitions of quality, including those based on products, users, manufacturing, and value. Service quality dimensions include reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangibles. Customer satisfaction results from meeting or exceeding expectations through good or excellent service, while bad service provides treatment below expectations. The main reason customers leave is due to poor service according to surveys.
This document discusses the SERVQUAL model, which is a framework for measuring service quality. It was developed in the 1980s and measures service quality across five dimensions: reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy, and responsiveness. The document explains the five gaps in service quality as identified by the SERVQUAL model and provides examples. It also discusses criticisms of the model and how organizations can use it to measure customer expectations and perceptions over time to improve service quality.
The Gaps Model proposes that there are 5 gaps between a customer's expected service and their perceived service. Gap 1 is between customer expectations and a company's understanding of those expectations. Gap 2 is between a company's understanding and their service design standards. Gap 3 is between service standards and actual service delivery. Gap 4 is between a company's marketing communications and the service delivered. Gap 5 is between customer expectations and their perceptions of the service received. More recently, 2 additional gaps were proposed regarding employees' perceptions of customer expectations.
The document discusses several key concepts related to service quality:
1) Service quality aims to satisfy customer needs and lead to customer retention through higher perceived value relative to price paid.
2) A focus on quality improvement and adherence to standards can increase profitability by reducing costs and increasing customer lifetime value.
3) Defining and measuring service quality is complex, as it depends on both technical and functional aspects, as well as customer perceptions and expectations.
4) Managing quality requires understanding customer perspectives, collecting feedback, setting goals, and continuously improving standards.
2. Designing Quality Service
Many Leisure and tourism contexts contain a myriad of individual experiences, whether rich and fulfilling or superficial and merely entertaining, and have implications for understanding and designing the leisure and tourism product. The premise of giving the consumers what they want springs to mind when writing about design quality. Unfortunately it is not as easy as it suggests, because consumer needs and wants are constantly changing. What have been satisfied them at one time no longer does so. Leisure experiences, especially those catering for the youth market, can be in fashion one moment and out of favor the next. (E.g. themed pubs, skateboarding, step aerobics).
Characteristics of Service
The general consensus is that services have a number of characteristics common to manufacturing, the tangibles. These are not only the physical features of the environment that the service is delivered in but anything that is taken away by the customers.

Tools for measuring and addressing service quality problems are presented, including the gaps model, blueprinting, and cause-and-effect charts. Different types of demand and roles of employees that can influence customers are also summarized.
This document discusses service gaps and quality as measured by SERVQUAL. It defines a service gap as the difference between what a customer expects and what is delivered. Service quality is defined as a set of quality requirements across attributes like tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. There are five potential gaps: not knowing customer expectations; having the wrong service standards; a service performance gap; promises not matching delivery; and expectations not matching experience. Reasons for the gaps include lack of marketing, communication issues, inadequate standards or control, and overpromising. SERVQUAL measures service quality across five dimensions based on customer expectations and actual experience.
The document discusses quality management and service quality. It defines quality management as the degree of excellence and process of an organization. It then discusses dimensions of service quality such as reliability, assurance, empathy, tangibles, and responsiveness. It identifies seven gaps between customer expectations and service delivery. It also discusses hard and soft measures of service quality as well as return on quality and productivity in a service context. The presentation is given by Renato Simpao Jr., a digital marketer and graphic designer.
The document describes a customer satisfaction survey conducted for Nassau Broadcasting. It includes hypotheses about respondent rankings and perceptions. The survey used SERVQUAL questions adapted for media companies. It found that respondents ranked reliability highest in importance and did not clearly support hypotheses about satisfaction correlations with advertising spend, education levels, or gender. Additional research is needed due to limitations.
The document discusses service quality gaps at Z.H. Sikder University of Science & Technology based on a student survey. Key findings include:
1. Major gaps identified were problems with the library, teacher turnover, education standards, computer/internet access, transportation, washrooms and lack of experienced teachers.

The document discusses the GAPS model of service quality. It describes 7 potential gaps between customer expectations and perceptions of service: 1) knowledge gap, 2) standards gap, 3) delivery gap, 4) internal communications gap, 5) perceptions gap, 6) interpretation gap, and 7) service gap. The largest gap is the service gap, which is the difference between expected and perceived service. The document provides recommendations for closing each gap to improve service quality.
The Gaps Model of Service Quality identifies 4 gaps that can lead to unsatisfactory service quality:
1) The customer gap is the difference between customer expectations and perceptions of service.
2) Provider gap 1 occurs when providers do not understand customer expectations.
3) Provider gap 2 happens when the wrong service designs and standards are selected.
4) Provider gap 3 is the failure to meet intended service standards. Provider gap 4 is the disparity between delivered service and what was promised to customers.
The document discusses factors that influence customer satisfaction and loyalty in service quality. It identifies five key determinants of service quality: delivering the promised service accurately and reliably, being willing to help customers, conveying trust to customers, providing individualized attention to customers, and having appropriate physical facilities, equipment and personnel. It also notes that exceeding customer expectations is important for delighting customers but that expectations can be affected by various issues like incorrectly perceiving customer wants, poor performance, unprofessional employees, and consumer misperceptions.
Service quality refers to the comparison between customer expectations of a service and their perceptions of the actual service performance. There are five key dimensions of service quality: reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangibles. The service quality model identifies five gaps that can cause unsuccessful service delivery - between customer expectations and management perceptions, service design and customer expectations, service delivery and standards, communications and service delivery, and expected and perceived service. Improving attributes like reliability, responsiveness, and empathy can enhance service quality.
Service quality and customer satisfaction are integral components of today's customer service world. Both of the attributes are inter-related to each other and combination of which appreciates the efficiency of a process.
Gap analysis is a formal process to identify differences between current and desired performance levels. It is used to analyze processes within organizations. SERVQUAL is a commonly used gap analysis model that identifies 5 gaps across 5 dimensions of service quality. It compares customer expectations to perceptions. ISO 9001 also provides a gap analysis tool to help organizations identify non-conformities between their quality management system and ISO 9001 requirements. Addressing gaps helps improve organizational processes.
Service blueprinting involves mapping customer service processes through flowcharts. It shows the customer experience and identifies potential failure points. Blueprinting a restaurant involves a three-act structure: introduction, delivery of food/drinks, and conclusion. Setting standards and targets allows measurement of customer satisfaction. Redesigning service processes can reduce failures and increase productivity. When customers co-produce services, their level of participation and psychological factors must be considered. Self-service technologies also require management of customer reluctance to change and ensuring systems are reliable and easy to use.
This document discusses techniques for mapping out service processes, including flowcharting and blueprinting. Flowcharting visually depicts the steps in a service process and how customer involvement varies by type of service. Blueprinting identifies key activities, distinguishes frontstage from backstage operations, and pinpoints potential failure points. The document provides examples of blueprinting a restaurant experience and discusses approaches to redesigning processes, such as eliminating non-value adding steps and increasing customer participation and self-service. Process redesign can help address issues like creeping bureaucracy and outdated practices.

The document discusses the need for a "service revolution" to improve customer service. It notes that 95% of dissatisfied customers will never complain and 90% will never return due to a negative service experience. Poor service costs companies billions annually in lost revenue. The top three reasons for customer defection are feeling unrecognized, unhelpful staff, and ineffective call centers. It advocates capturing customer feedback through "voice of the customer" programs to understand expectations and drive continuous improvement. When service meets expectations based on real-time feedback, it can increase customer and employee retention while differentiating companies in the marketplace.

George Orwell's novel Animal Farm is summarized as follows:
1. Animal Farm tells the story of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer and take control of the farm, establishing their own society with ideals of equality and justice for all animals.
2. However, the pigs who lead the rebellion slowly start acting like the humans, taking more than their share of the food and exerting their power over the other animals.
3. By the end, the pigs have established a totalitarian dictatorship and the farm is being run no differently than it was under the human farmers, showing how even the highest of ideals can be corrupted over time.

The document outlines the steps in the planning process: 1) assessing opportunities and analyzing strengths/weaknesses; 2) setting objectives and expected results; 3) determining planning premises based on anticipated future events; 4) identifying alternatives and evaluating pros/cons; 5) formulating supportive plans; 6) implementing plans through policies and procedures; and 7) reviewing plans and improvising based on changes. Planning is a continuous cycle that involves awareness, decision-making, implementation, and review to ultimately achieve goals.
The behavioral approach to management focuses on employees as individuals and as part of work groups, with an emphasis on meeting their needs. The Hawthorne studies from 1924-1932 examined how social and emotional factors impact worker productivity. The studies found that workers performed better when they felt respected and part of a team. Simply showing concern for employees can motivate better performance due to the "Hawthorne Effect", where people work harder because they feel somebody cares. The behavioral approach led to a greater understanding of human behavior in organizations.

1. Volkswagen reported a 95% drop in fourth quarter 2003 profits due to two main factors: the sharp rise of the euro against the dollar during 2003, and Volkswagen's decision to only hedge 30% of its currency exposure compared to its usual 70%.
2. Exchange rates can impact businesses in three main ways: transaction exposure affects individual deals, translation exposure impacts reported financial statements, and economic exposure influences long-term competitiveness.
3. Businesses can reduce transaction and translation exposure through forward exchange contracts, currency swaps, and managing payables and receivables. Reducing economic exposure requires distributing production globally to balance currency risk.
The consumer movement is an effort to promote consumer protection through an organized social movement, which is in many places led by consumer organizations.

Rand Fishkin of Sparktoro broke the news about the Google API Leaks in May 2023. Mike King from iPullRank did what he does best—dissected everything from the leaks. How big was the leak? Around 2,600 pages of leaked internal documentation describing different components of Google's ranking systems and 14,000 attributes or features represented in the documentation.
Here’s why this is important
SEO has evolved dramatically over the last 27 years. Companies like Google have built entire businesses around search, and Google has become the unquestioned leader in search. All
this is starting to change—thanks to GenAI.
Ever since Google started building a search engine, it has shared best practices. But it has never revealed anything more—no algorithms or APIs. That changed recently with this leak.
This matters to you
This checklist matters to entrepreneurs, content creators, website owners, brand managers,
PR professionals, marketing analysts, and SEO professionals.
Understanding how the algorithm works today can help you maintain your competitive edge, optimize opportunities, mitigate risks due to these changes, and make informed decisions on your digital strategy.
This checklist is based on everything I learned from listening to two hour-long webinars Rand and Mike hosted recently.

Flowcharting and Blueprinting are two key tools that we use for
documenting.
5. FLOWCHARTING
Maps a service process
Shows the nature and sequence of steps involved
Is an easy way to visualize the customer experience

6. BLUEPRINTING
A more complex form of flowcharting.
Shows how a service process is constructed
Maps the customer, employee, and service system interactions
Details pre-process, in-process, and post-process stages of service
delivery
7. THREE-ACT PERFORMANCE
Pre-Process
Initiation of Service Process
In-Process
Core Service is being delivered.
Post-Process
Necessary activities for closing of the service encounter happens
Differentiation is important.
Customers have different sensitivities in each stage.

10. FAIL-PROOFING THE SERVICE
PROCESSES
Failure or delay in accessing the core service.
Fail points can be identified in blueprint.
Fail points are to be considered from the customer’s perspective.
11. APPLICATION OF POKA-YOKES
The term poka-yoke is derived from the Japanese words “poka”
(inadvertent errors) and “yokeru” (to prevent
poka-yokes ensure that service employees do things correctly, as
asked, in the right order and at the right speed.
Collecting Data on problem
Analysing the root cause
Establishing preventive solutions
12. Failure
Customer Arrival Unnoticed
Exchange of bags of customer
Problem in calling room service
Waiting for food
Food Quality
Poka-yoke
Use a Bell chain to signal arrival
Number the bags of customer
according to their room number
Plant an efficient calling system
Send a message to customer
when food is ready
Take feedback from customer
through monitor screen attached
in their rooms
13. SETTING SERVICE STANDARDS
AND TARGETS
Identify which service and process attributes are important to
customers.
These attributes should be the basis for setting standards.
Standards can be:
Time Parameters
Technically correct performance
Prescription for appropriate method/style
Standards should be objectively measurable.
“What is not measured in not managed”
16. Ultimately, only one thing really matters in
service encounters — the customer’s
perceptions of what occurred
Richard B. Chase and
Sriram Dasu,
Professors at University of
Southern California
17. CONSUMER PERCEPTION AND
EMOTIONS IN SERVICE DESIGN
Start Strong
Build an Improving Trend
Create Peak
Get bad experiences over with early
Segment Pleasure, Combine Pain
Finish Strong
18. SERVICE PROCESS REDESIGN
Signs for need of redesign
Lot of information exchange b/w customer and service units
A high ratio of checking or control activities to value adding activities
Increased processing of exception
Growing number of customer complaints about inconvenient and
unnecessary procedure.
19. SERVICE PROCESS REDESIGN
Service process redesign should achieve following objectives
Reduce number of service failures
Reduce cycle time
Enhanced productivity
Increased Customer Satisfaction
All four objective should be achieved simultaneously
20. SERVICE PROCESS REDESIGN
Service process redesign includes
Examining the service blueprint with key stakeholders
Eliminating non value adding steps
Addressing Bottlenecks in the process
Shifting to self service
21. SELF SERVICE TECHNOLOGIES
(SST)
Ultimate form of customer involvement.
Customer’s time and efforts replaces those of a service employee.
Customers even provide their own terminals.
Expensive face to face contact with employees is replaced by SSTs.
Peer to Peer problem solving.
26. ASSESSING & IMPROVING SSTS
Does the SSTs work reliably ?
SSTs should be simple and efficient.
Is the SST better than the inter-personal alternative ?
IRCTC, Amazon online book store, etc.
Are there system in place to recover the service if the SST fails?
CSR on IVR menu, Attendants at supermarket, etc.
27. CUSTOMER PARTICIPATION IN
SERVICE PROCESS
Service redesign’s efficiency and productivity often depends upon
customers involvement.
Customer Participation is physical, mental or emotional inputs by
consumer.
Customer are Co-Creator of service process.
“Customers cause about one-third of all service problems”
Tax, S.S., Colgate, M., & Bowen, D.E. (2006). How to prevent your customers from
failing.
28. PREVENTING CUSTOMER FAILURES
Poka-yokes designed for customers.
Observe, Identify and Redesign
Customer involvement in the process
Use Technology
Manage Customer behavior
Encourage customer citizenship
Improve services cape
29. MANAGING CUSTOMER’S
RELUCTANCE TO CHANGE
To increase customer participation or to shift to SSTs customer
behavior should changed.
Prepare customer using marketing communication.
1. Develop Customer Trust
2. Understand customers habits and expectations
3. Pre-test new procedures and equipment's
4. Publicize the benefits
5. Teach customers to use innovations and promote trials.
6. Monitor performance and continue to seek improvements.
Efficiency and convenience in pre and post.
May not want be rushed in in process.
Bank eye contact by registering eye color
service attributes need to be made measurable. Th is
is often achieved by using service process indicators
Programmed for Tokyo Olympics 2020
Systematically collect data on most common failure points.
Identify their root causes.
Lack of required skills, Failure to understand their role, weakness in the design of the services cape
Create strategies to prevent the failures
