Service More Than Sum of Its Parts
Consider a couple going to the theatre; they hire transportation, attend a restaurant before the play and then go for a bite to eat afterward. All of the businesses that are a part of the evening take part in delivering the experience and each contributes to the the couple's overall satisfaction. The example serves to illustrate that services are, as Gustavson researchers Dr. Steve Tax and Dr. David McCutcheon contend in their latest research, increasingly provided by a service delivery
network (SDN). All of the network members play a role in the experience and their performance influences the customer's view of the others.
