EXTRACT:

Levitt discusses the need for, and potential benefits of, the industrialization of service. He describes specialization as essential to achieving meaningful economies of scale and, thus, productivity, and likens the notion of specialization to the concept of division of labor in manufacturing. Specialization continues to be critically important, although the term focus is more commonly used today. Davidow and Uttal (1998) echo these thoughts when calling for service companies to develop and execute focused strategies. These authors describe the need for defining fairly narrow customer segments (in contrast to more broadly defined market segments) in order to simultaneously achieve high levels of customer satisfaction and efficiency, and, consequently, profitability. They emphasize the central role of customer expectations in this context and describe the need for managing them, i.e. setting them to appropriate levels.

Thakor and Kumar discuss their research into consumers' perception of what characterizes professional services. Consumers consider those services to be 'more professional' that are perceived to require higher levels of expertise and lower levels of manual labor, and that possess higher levels of credence qualities. Similarly, 'more professional' services are deemed more critical, recommendations play a more important role in service selection, and involve a higher lack of clarity as to the nature of service actually required. McLaughlin et al. (1995) provide a detailed discussion of focus in professional service organizations. Drawing on empirical research of outpatient surgery centers, these authors define the notion of focus, discuss benefits and disadvantages, and develop a framework aiding managers in making micro-focus decisions. Ojasalo (2001) investigates the specific nature of customer expectations in the context of professional services and describes them as often being fuzzy, implicit, and unrealistic. He describes the potential effect of such expectations and professional service providers' failure to meet them on perceived service quality. The author discusses the potential negative effects of appropriately managing such expectations on "perceived short-term quality/satisfaction and the related potential positive effects on long-term quality/satisfaction".

Meyer Goldstein (2002) describe the service concept's role in driving design and planning decisions at all levels of new service development. The service concept is described as essential to creating organizational alignment by linking a service organization's strategic intent to its customers' needs, and as linking the 'how' and 'what' of service design. Kwortnik and Thompson (2009) research the case of 'Liberty Cruise Lines' to understand the service operations challenges originating from service design decisions taken from a service marketing perspective. They advocate the use of the service operations model, which includes the service promise and concept as one of its essential elements. The authors emphasize the need for coordination between service marketing and operations during ongoing operations rather than only during new service development. Furthermore, they suggest bridging the service marketing-operations gap with service experience management, a new function integrating service operations and marketing. Malhotra and Sharma (2002) agree that the interface between service marketing and operations is critically important. They emphasize the importance of cross-functional interactions and joint decision-making across these disciplines, and introduce a simple marketing operations integration framework, which identifies opportunities for inter-functional integration. A cross-functional approach to service management is seen as essential for effective service design and delivery.

Heskett, Jones, Loveman, Sasser, and Schlesinger (1994) describe the service-profit chain, which identifies the drivers of profitability and revenue growth in service organizations. Customer loyalty is identified as the primary driver and in turn originates from customer satisfaction and service value. In turn, service value originates from employee retention and productivity, which both result from employee satisfaction. Employee satisfaction primarily originates from internal service quality, which enables employees to deliver results desired by customers. According to these authors, the results for customers that constitute service value are defined by the service concept, which is the central element of the service-profit chain.

Several authors notice the increasing emphasis on the customer experience as part of delivering services to customers. According to Verma et al. (2002: 117), "[s]ome researchers argue that several developed nations have moved beyond the service economy to the experience economy". Fynes and Lally 2008 agree on the growing importance of the experience element of a service and advocate progressing from mere service concepts to more explicit experience concepts. This notion puts increased emphasis on the service experience element of the service concept as described by Johnston and Clark (2005: 37-63).

No plagarism what so ever i will dispute and give terrible rating if you have me pay for crap. Due by the 3rd will pay 5 more dollars for quick efficent delivery. Other than that price non-negotiable.

Suppose you were going to create your own study to examine what course-delivery format (online, blended, or face-to-face) leads to the best performance in a psychological statistics class. In a paper identify the following for your study:

  • What is your research question?

  • What is your hypothesis (both null and alternate)?

  • Is this a qualitative or quantitative design (based on type of variable collected) and why?

  • Is this a descriptive, correlation or experimental design and why?

  • What would be an example of a variable for this study that could be measured on a nominal scale? Ordinal scale? Interval scale? Ratio scale?

  • Once you have collected your data, would you use inferential or descriptive statistics and why?

  • Create a sample frequency distribution for one of the variables. Choose either a simple or grouped frequency distribution and explain your choice.

Course Type: Blended

Research Question: What Course-delivery format leads to the best performance in a psychological statistics class.

Start Raptor, and create a Raptor program as follows. The program will ask the user for a string of digits. Then it will convert each digit in the string to its numeric value and add the values. Right-click the Start symbol and select Comment. Type comment lines for the Author, Date, and Description, then click Done. Do this for all Raptor programs. You are adding numbers, so create an accumulator variable and initialize it to 0. NOTE: Raptor will interpret a string of digits as a number, unless you include a character in it. So, by putting an X at the end of the string of digits, Raptor will use it like a string of characters. Then, we will just ignore the last character when we are converting the digits to numbers. Prompt the user to enter a string of digits followed by an X, and store it in a variable, such as numberString. Set a variable to the length of the string minus 1 (to ignore the X). You can do this by setting the variable len to length_of(numberString) – 1. Set an index variable to 1, and create a loop that exits when index > len. Inside the loop, you need to convert each digit to its numeric value. Look at the ASCII table in Appendix A. The digit ‘0’ has an ASCII value of 48, so if you subtract 48 from its ASCII value, you get its numeric value. The digit ‘1’ is ASCII 49, etc., so you can subtract 48 from the ASCII value of any digit to get its numeric value. There is a function called to_ascii() that returns the ASCII value of a single character. Extract the single character from the string by setting a variable called digit to numberString[index]. Remember that a string can be used as an array of characters. Use a selection to determine if the character is really a digit (if to_ascii(digit) >= 48 and to_ascii(digit)
