Q2. What is the basic premise of traditional service management theory?
traditional service management theory stems from tripartite notions of intangibility, inseparability, and co-production (Gronroos 2007): services comprise intangible processes not concrete products (even if they may utilize such concrete elements in their delivery); the production and consumption of such services are not separate processes but rather are inseparable and occur contemporaneously (you cannot ‘store’ a service for delivery at a later date – it is consumed at the point of its production; and the user/consumer is a (willing or unwilling, conscious or unconscious) participant in service production and enactment.
Q3. What are the examples of services where co-production and value co-creation are high?
Services such as residential care and education are clearly instances where co-production and value co-creation are high, with almost constant direct face to face contact between the service user and the service provider.
Q4. What is the basic premise of service management theory?
The quality and performance of a service process is shaped primarily by the expectations of the user, their active or passive role in the service delivery, and their subsequent experience of the process.
Q5. What is the role of the user in the co-production of services?
The user’s contribution as a co-producer during service production is not only unavoidable (and can be unconscious or coerced) but is also crucial to the performance of a service.
Q6. What is the main argument that the school is socially destructive?
Faith-based schools, for example, might be a way by which parents can co-produce the education of their children together with teachers within a specific religious framework, for example, yet many have argued also that such schools are socially destructive because of the sectarian divides that they reinforce (Short 2002, Jackson 2003).
