The service paradigm is changing from the traditional concept of a service transaction to one of the service experience.

It draws upon the expertise of internationally recognized authors and covers topics in service innovation, process design, and implantation. Chapter contributors from the fields of operations management, marketing information technology, and organizational behavior explore the issues that service firms must address to sustain advantage in the new experience economy. Students and professionals in the fields of service management, new product development, and new venture creation will all benefit from the wisdom in this innovative, ground breaking book.
