Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
After completing the course the student understands the main aspects of services marketing in both B2B and B2C contexts and is familiar with consumer behavior, perceptions of quality, value drivers and customer satisfaction, as they relate to services. The student also understands the repertoire of competitive actions service firms have available to them and can apply the most common tools for developing services and assessing their quality.
Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
The materials and assignments covered during the course open new perspectives into services and their marketing. The course takes as its starting point the notion that services are not limited to traditional service industries, but should rather be understood as being an integral part of the value creation activities of various industries. Thematically the course can be split into three parts: 1) development and marketing of consumer services; 2) co-creation and marketing of complex business services; 3) the spread of service logic in business and the servitization of business.
