INTRODUCTION Manufacturing, service and agriculture are the major economic activities in any
country. In India, manufacturing and services together constitute nearly 75% of the GDP. Moreover,
in recent years the growth in GDP is primarily due to the growth in these sectors of the economy.

In a complex economy, both infrastructure and distribution services function as intermediaries and
as the channel of distribution to the final consumer. Infrastructure services are a prerequisite for an
economy to become industrialized; therefore, no advanced society can be without these services. In
an industrialized economy, specialized firms can supply business services to manufacturing firms
more cheaply and efficiently than manufacturing firms can supply these services for themselves.
Thus, more and more often we find advertising, consulting, and other business services being
provided for the manufacturing sector by service firms. Except for basic subsistence living, where
individual households are self–sufficient, service activities are absolutely necessary for the economy
to function and to enhance the quality of life. Consider, for example, the importance of a banking
industry to transfer funds and a transportation industry to move food products to areas that cannot
produce them. Moreover, a wide variety of personal services, such as restaurants, lodging, cleaning,
and child care, have been created to move former household functions into the economy.
Government services play a critical role in providing a stable environment for investment and
economic growth. Services such as public education, health care, well maintained roads, safe

3. Im/It Service Management
Introduction Only the most progressive organizations are adopting best practices in IM/IT service
management, while many IM/IT departments continue to rely on informal, "seat of the pants, "
error–prone processes. This leads to reactive "fire fighting" operating norms within IM/IT
departments, when formal, proactive approaches would be more effective. Recent studies suggest
that one of the most accurate indicators of IM/IT departmental effectiveness in delivering quality
services is the percentage of unplanned work in which the departments is engaged (Glandon,
Smaltz, and Slovensky, 2008, p. 170).
Why does unplanned IM/IT work increase costs? Glandon et al. (2008) describes unplanned work as

176). Incident management on the other hand, is the process by which "troubled calls" or incidents
are managed to resolution. The goal of incident management is "to restore normal service operation
as quickly as possible with minimum disruption to the business, thus ensuring that the best
achievable levels of availability and service are maintained." In most organizations with a central
service desk function, all incidents are channeled through the service desk. Typically, central IM/IT
service desks are organized to provide three levels of support. These levels of support include first–
level support services, second–level support services, and third–level support services (Glandon et
al., 2008, p. 179–180). Process management is the process by which recurring incidents are
analyzed to determine and provide permanent solutions for root causes. The goal of problem is "to
minimize the adverse effect on the business of incidents and problems caused by errors in the
infrastructure and to proactively prevent the occurrence of incidents, problems, and errors. Problem
management is focused on determining the underlying root cause of incidents (Glandon et al., 2008,
p. 182–183). Change management is the process by which changes are introduced into the
computing environment of an organization. To effectively administer needed changes to the IM/IT
infrastructure, organizations generally have in place a change review or committee or change

5. Service Line Management
Service Line Management Task 1 In order for a company to continue to grow and expand, it must
have a need for additional services and customer satisfaction. To focus on patient care, one must
engage in property development. There are multiple ways this can be accomplished. To begin, this
writer will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of building, buying, or leasing property to
establish a new orthopedic service line. First, the concept of building a Physical Therapy center
should be considered. As the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) stated in the email, the cost of
construction is $120 per square foot for 5,000 square feet. This would total $600,000 to build on
hospital property. The advantage to this would be that the hospital ... Show more content on

Although this option is the most costly, other factors have to be considered. In comparison to
building the site, this option is $100,000 more, but saves space on campus. It can be sold if needed,
whereas a newly constructed property on campus could not. The hospital would have to find a use
for the space. In comparison to leasing the building, if the hospital needed to expand or get out of
the lease, that normally does not happen. A contract is normally signed with a lease and the signee is
responsible to uphold the contract. The hospital could be stuck in that situation. By purchasing this
building, the hospital could also be able to start the PT program sooner than expected. The hospital
would not be waiting on construction which could possibly take a long period of time. During the
time the hospital would be waiting for construction to complete, they can be earning revenue by
purchasing the already constructed building and lot. They would have an immediate revenue which
could generate the capital reserve the CFO needs to keep intact. A new service line could greatly
improve the revenue of the hospital. Buying and starting the program sooner is the best option for
the needs of the facility. A PT program by the hospital will also make patients happy. Happy patients
means return customers. Return customers means more revenue. Revenue is what causes a business

According Dressler, assessment happens in the workplace of the organization in three different ways
depending on the situation, such as the following: Evaluation by the immediate supervisor: the
supervisor should be the best person to assess his or her employees, because of the supervisors of
these are directly related to the performance of the staff. As a result, it would be easy to evaluate the
performance of staff and gave the results of a large specific. The use of peer assessment: peer
assessment more accurate than their managers, because there is a relationship between bonds
immediate staff. This strategy gives the evacuation of better performance from their managers.
Committees Rating: prefer many employees are evaluated by committees, because it seems that the
rating committees more trustworthy, fair and compelling. Management's assessment of staff:
managers evaluate employees are not traditionally known in the workplace, but this idea has spread
is between the organization recently. This strategy gives workers the right to evaluate the managers
where they can feel that there is equality in the organization. As a result, it may increase the
performance of employees.

instance, at a small health care facility or hospital, administrators may oversee the routine tasks of
the entire staff. Strong management and organizational skills ensure the facility operates smoothly.

current with innovative billing and coding software is critical. Most health care facilities and clinics
utilize electronic health records, which is a longitudinal digital account of patient health information

A customer service strategy not only discusses what you do with customer feedback but how you
will obtain their opinions. Some companies employ surveys, while others feel speaking to clients
one on one may be more effective.
STEPS FOR DEVELOPING A SERVICE STRATEGY
Client focus is almost like a buzz phrase these days. How often do we leave a business
establishment and think, "Wow, that was just incredible customer service!"? Or, how often do we
make a call to the customer service hotline and get off the phone thinking, "I feel I've been treated
like a king!"? Chances are, not very often. If the companies not providing "WOW" customer
service, then they are just providing service and that doesn't set them apart from the competition.
One of the best ways to evolve a culture to one with customer service engrained in it is to implement
a client–focused strategy that unites company team to achieve the goal. This is a shift that is going to

overall satisfaction with the services we offer. A friendly greeting while making eye contact with the
customer, striving to make the customer feel important, making every effort to ensure a high quality

The Customer is not really interested in the process or the management of the resources. This
perception might differ depending on the customers or staffs' point of view. o The customer
experience: It's the customer's judgement and answer to their participation and exchange throughout
the service process and its outputs during the steps of their journey. o The services outcomes: The
outcomes that the customer expects of the service process through products, benefits, emotion and
judgments and intentions.
Managers can use the service concept in a strategic goal to determine and communicate the nature of
the business. Indeed several organisations can take control of their service concept and make it
explicit. The service concept could also be used as an alignment tool that associate various
organisational functions with joint aim and standard facing which their action can be checked.
Another way that the service concept can be applied is by developing new service concepts to drive
innovation and provide strategic advantage, as opening up new market or differentiating the
organisation from the competition. By looking carefully at many factors as the market, the different

For some companies, they will make themselves known through advertising. For others, a network

27. Incident Management: Unplanned Interruption Of IT Services
1. What is an Incident?
An incident is an unplanned interruption of IT services or a reduction in the quality of an IT service.
Incidents interrupt ordinary day to day technical service, such as when a computer has a virus or it is
not properly working like it was meant to be. These are unintended incidents that require assistance
from the service desk or help desk to repair the normal function.
2. What is the goal of Incident Management?
There is one main goal of incident management, to repair normal function and operation as fast as
possible. Some other goals are detecting events that could interrupt service and resolving the
incidents and lowering downtime for the company. Incident management also needs to maintain
quality of the service ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
If there are no rules in which to handle the incident, the incident might not get taken care of right
away if it's a priority or not at all. On the other hand, there might be more than one person handling
an incident, therefore wasting the companies time and energy while that second person could have
been assisting another incident. Not having guide lines and rules will lower customer satisfactions,
end up costing the company money and rising downtime for clients.
4. Why is it just as important to assign roles and responsibilities to certain employees to own the
Incident Management process or even to manage the life of an Incident?
It's important to assign roles and responsibilities to certain employees to own the incident
management process. Assigning duties and responsibilities is imperative if the company doesn't
want confusions of what they are responsible for which will result in delaying the resolution of an
incident. Employees should have clearly defined roles and tasks so they can effectively
communicate and reduce downtime. If not, employees will have inadequate, inaccurate or
incomplete information about the incident and their role.

Introduction
The service industry interacts with our lives on a daily basis. Services can be defined as deeds,
processes and performances. When considering the differences between products and services,
intangibility and the fact that a service cannot be touched, tasted, viewed or tried on are terms often
used (McColl–Kennedy & Kiel 2000). Services differ from goods in essentially four ways: (1)
intangibility; (2) inseparability; (3) heterogeneity; (4) perishability (Kotler, Brown, Adam, Burton,
Armstrong 2006). To deliver a quality service, managers also pay attention to the importance of
tangibles that support service delivery as well as service delivery blueprinting. Managers must also
accept that service failures occur and be able to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The gap between expected and perceived service is a measure of service quality. Fitzsimmons &
Fitzsimmons (2001) stated that measuring this gap through the customer feedback process is
standard practice for leading service companies.
The gaps model is one framework that can help the service organisation maintain service quality
(Zeithaml & Bitner 1996, cited McColl–Kennedy & Kiel 2000). The core concept of this model is
the fifth 'customer gap'. The key to success in the management of service quality is to eliminate the
customer gap. In order to do this the organisation must firstly eliminate four prior organisational
gaps; (1) not knowing what customers expect (2) Not selecting the right service designs and
standards (3) Not delivering to service standards (4) not matching service to promises made.
McColl–Kennedy & Kiel (2000) propose that if gaps one to four can be kept closed, then the fifth
gap, which is the customer gap, can be bridged.
The following case study has been used to explain how the gaps model can be applied. In the
context of the case study the passenger is considered a 'personalising' customer. The passenger

The concept of the service is considered to be the mutual understanding between the received nature
of the nature and the provided nature of the service by the organization. In addition to that, it should
also be able to summarize the information regarding the idea of the organization, the experience of
the service, the outcome of the service and the operation of the service as well as the value of the
service which is given below. When a customer goes out and generally considers the things around
while doing routine work, it is likely to be attracted by the experience that it receives with the
service provided by the organization. This is a motivating factor for the customer and is likely to
attract the customer if applied well. In addition to that, it is an important thing to note that under the
examples of a customer going for a walk in the park, its experience of the service would include
services which are fun and lively for all the age groups, there is a variety of attractions, the queues

At my first field practicum I provided ongoing case management services to older–adults through a
private pay enterprise designed to provide additional support to clients whose needs were not being
adequately met through consultation, implementation, and care coordination. I worked with an client

their therapeutic needs and collectively identified their problems, determining what changes needed
to be made, and set goals. Throughout the span of six months we addressed various practice
objectives which included, increasing personal self–management skills, increasing social skills, and

The Agency had limited resources, which required the client to pay a small fee for services. In
addition, I utilized as many free services as possible within the community that would assist the
client and provide him with ongoing support following the termination of our relationship. For
example, we were able to utilize a program that provided him with free transportation services so
that he could attend his spiritual service. The outputs resulted in accomplishing the planned
activities and delivering the services we intended. We were fortunate to accomplish the planned
activities to the degree which we intended which greatly benefited the client. The impact of services,
based on the feedback of the client was very positive. The client showed significant growth during
his involvement with the program, which presumably impacts the community at large. The practice

According to the customer contact approach proposed by Chase and Tansik [1,6,7], customer
contact activities should be decoupled from non–contact activities to do justice to their different
design requirements and maximize the efficiency of the service delivery system. Consequently,
service organizations consist of a front stage and a back stage. In the back office customer contact is
passive or nonexistent, service processes may be designed with manufacturing–like principles in
mind [6]. The process may take advantage of standardization and automation to enhance the
efficiency and effectiveness of operations. While in the front stage customer contact is high and
active, it brings about unavoidable inefficiencies, and the human relation skills become a dominant
factor in designing the process [6]. Study [8] adds that moving some of the back–stage functions
from developed areas (or even countries) to underdeveloped regions may increase greatly efficiency
because of the reduction in labor costs and taxation. 2.2.2 Decoupling for Speed, Quality and Sales

All the efforts done to improve the quality of service provided ranges from the reduction of time
from when the customer comes in the Centre to the moment he or she leaves.
Another important aspect is how the customer is handled at each step of the whole procedure. For
example, from registration, the customer is given a personal assistant who, depending on his
condition, will push him in a wheelchair or guide him to the diagnostic room. This is a value adding
tactic in that it saves a lot in the time taken from one stage to another and also makes the patient the
most vital part of the whole process. This action creates a good rapport between the patient and the
staff, especially the customer service staff.
Follow–ups
Another important whether the customer service staffs always do a follow up on the patient,
regardless of their conditions. These shows the Centre 's sincere concern and overall well wish to the
customer. The customer service–people do this by making phone calls, sending text messages
reminding the patients about their appointments, and when to visit for checkups.

Hence, service quality should be seen as an on–going process (Pallet et al, 2003) and the above QFD
model helps incorporate guests view and take into account the heterogeneity and complexity of the
hospitality experience which was not evident in the previously built models.
At the operations management (OM) level, an output–based model of seven key result areas (KRAs)
for the management of the service delivery system' can be used as the analytical framework, derived
from Lockwood and Jones (1990) cited in Slack et al (2007). The managed KRAs are assets,
employees, capacity (or customers), productivity, service, income (or control), and quality. Within
each area of this model there are a range of alternative operational policies and procedures that
might be adopted to reflect the type of hospitality business, its size, and its technology. For instance,
yield management is an approach to managing capacity in hotels, especially large, chain properties
(Jarvis et al., 1998); quality control is applied largely in quick service restaurants, whereas total
quality management (TQM) has been applied to a few hotels, such as Ritz Carlton.
Quality is not an absolute term. A product can be of high or low standard, yet still be of quality. For

While environmentalists and scientists have discussed the idea of ecosystem services for several
decades, it only gained attention after an official announcement of its concept, by the Millennium
Ecosystem Assessment (MA) in 2005. As a new field in ecology, I realized that there is much more
research needed to be done in terms of management and sustainable development of ecosystem
services. Many environmentalists have brought up new ideas and methods to improve ecosystem
services and have created programs to promote their sustainability. Despite these efforts, however,
the resulting outcomes have not been so successful than expected and ecosystem services still

organizations. They take knowledge and management style to many different levels. Human service
managers apply a variety of functions to the contexts of the organization 's staff members. In most
agencies, the human service managers use the critical roles of communication, organizational and
team building skills. The human service manager works with members of the leadership team to
improve the organization 's process, maximize team responsibilities, and work with many members
of the organization to conduct, create and implement plans to provide positive outcomes for the
organization. The Human services manager coordinates the flow of work and assets to guarantee

Management process to manage and restore the normal service operations from the disruptions

Organizations are concerned with the effective implementation of incident management since any
service incident could cause a huge loss and a setback to business continuity.
Organizations looking for 'quick wins ' have taken up ITSM and have not seen the positive outcomes
of its implementation as they are confused on how to implement it. This is due to the fact that ITIL
doesn't provide the guidelines of how to implement the management standards and it is up to a
business how they perceive it and implement as per their needs and requirements (Pollard & Cater–
Steel 2009).
The main objective of this study is to provide a strategy for optimizing and improving the IT
services incident management. For the effective implementation of incident management process,
reducing the number of open incidents is one of the most advisable approach but has not quite been
effectively implemented by existing work. This research provides a methodology of systematically
handling the incidents addressed by the users to be handled by the respective IT support staff and to
generate reports for keeping a record of the open incidents which serve as a basis for the
management to assess the performance of the incident management tool, look for solutions of most

"Interactive, collaborative conversations with customers are essential for gaining critical information
and insight about customers' situations and enable salespeople to offer unique, added–value
solutions for customers' needs." (SELL4, Cengage Learning, 82) Communication skills, to me, is the
main topic within the Service Sector Management class. The reason I believe this is because in order
to build trust, sale, understand the buyer, etc.–you must be able to talk to the customers. Trust–based
sales communication is when you must talk with the customer rather than at them. It is a
collaborative and two–way form of communication that allows buyers and sellers to better
understand the need of situations and working together to create the best responses for resolving the
customer's needs. Trust–based communication is the sharing of importance between buying and
selling individuals that result from the interactive process of exchanging information and ideas. With
this emphasis on establishing understanding, communication is essential throughout each stage of
the selling process. Effective communication skills are needed to classify buying needs and to
demonstrate to buyers how a salesperson's planned solution can satisfy those needs better than
competitors. The critical capabilities for effective selling include questioning, listening, giving

"Expectations" are referenced five times within the case, with comments such as "...I did not expect
this from you" or in regards to acting on expectations such as "...expect a better cut next time.
Otherwise, I will be looking for a new stylists." When customers financially invest in a service and
their needs are not met, they often feel like their payment was wasted. One client states that "I am
paying you to perform a service and I have not received the services I expected." These references to
financial disappointment usually end in a request to speak with a manager, money back, or refusal to
pay. "Pay" and "money" were both mentioned six different times. Relationship plays an important
role in the B2C service industry. How clients relate to employers plays a vital role in the success of
the company. In this experiment, several customers express some type of concern with the emotional
state of the employer as a way to justify or understand the cause of the poor service. For example,
some customers ask, "Are you having a bad day?", if everything is OK, or if there is something
bothering the employer. Clients cite "friendliness" seven times in their comments, indicating a desire
to treat the employer with kindness.
