The services industry
- Increasingly important!!
- But is size and relative importance for GDP what matters for us as marketers?
Vargo & Lusch:
”Perhaps one of the most frequently stated misconceptions about ServiceDominated logic is that it is justified by the fact that many national economis have
now become ”service economies”. […] Service-Dominated logic says that the
application of competences for the benefit of another party – that is, service – is
the foundation of all economic exchange. Thus, even when goods are involved,
what is driving economic activity is service, applied knowledge.”
Vargo & Lusch:
”The central notions of Service-Dominated logic are that fundamental to human
well-being, if not survival, is specialization by individuals in a subset of
knowledge and skills and exchanging the application of these resources for the
application of knowledge and skills they do not specialize.”

An extraordinary experience can be many things…
Knowing what an extraordinary experiences is

the marketing of a Master programme?
Case 1 – the Master in marketing
Case 1
