Aimed at courses in undergraduate Service Marketing and Management, this clear, accessible book presents an integrated approach to the study of services that places marketing issues within a broader general management context. It emphasizes the fact that service organizations differ in many important respects from manufacturing businesses, requiring a distinctive approach to planning and implementing marketing strategy. Coverage is comprised of 16 chapters and 12 short- to medium-length cases that let readers apply what they've learned to real-world settings and fully understand the complexities of service management―including the interactions between marketing, operations, and human resources.
