Rethinking Service Companies’ Business Logic: Do We Need a Customer-Dominant Logic as a Guideline?

Purpose –This paper explores and expands the roles of customers and companies in creating value by introducing a new a customer-based approach to service. The customer’s logic is examined as being the foundation of a customer-based marketing and business logic. Design/methodology/approach – The authors argue that both goods-dominant logics and service-dominant logics are provider-dominant. Contrasting the customer-dominant logic with provider-dominant logics, the paper examines the creation of service value from the perspectives of value-in-use, the customer’s own context, and the customer’s experience of service. Findings –Moving from a provider-dominant logic to a customer-dominant logic uncovered five major challenges to service marketers: Company involvement, company control in co-creation, visibility of value creation, locus of customer experience, and character of customer experience. Research limitations/implications – The paper is exploratory. It presents and discusses a conceptual model and suggests implications for research and practice. Practical implications –Awareness of the mechanisms of customer logic will provide businesses with new perspectives on the role of the company in their customer’s lives. We propose that understanding the customer’s logic should represent the starting-point for the marketer’s business logic. Originality/value – The paper increases the understanding of how the customer’s logic underpins the customer-dominant business logic. By exploring consequences of applying a customer-dominant logic, we suggest further directions for theoretical and empirical research.

Fluidez nos mundos virtuais: a participação nas comunidades virtuais do Second Life como forma de potencializar a experiência de consumo

Incrementar o conhecimento sobre o que contribui efetivamente para que ocorram interações bem sucedidas entre websites e os consumidores online, mais especificamente no mercado crescente dos mundos virtuais, é um assunto relevante para os pesquisadores e profissionais de administração de empresas. Vivemos em uma nova etapa da cultura do consumo, onde a experiência de consumo ganha relevância. Os jogos online, ambientados em mundos virtuais, são ilustrações muito apropriadas para representar a emergência do Marketing de Experiência, característico desta etapa. Os mundos virtuais, como o Second Life, podem ser classificados como “mundos de experiência”, e uma das suas principais características é a existência de comunidades virtuais. A interação entre usuários e o relacionamento social é fundamental para o enriquecimento da experiência de consumo nos mundos virtuais. A teoria da fluidez é um dos constructos mais utilizados para entender o comportamento do consumidor na internet e uma das formas de definir a natureza de experiências de consumo na internet. A utilização deste modelo (que vem sendo utilizado e aprimorado nos últimos 14 anos) é aconselhada para definir e medir a experiência de consumo na internet. A participação em comunidades virtuais pode ser um dos fatores que enriquecem a experiência de consumo nos mundos virtuais, percebida pela fluidez. O objetivo desta dissertação é entender se a participação em comunidades virtuais potencializa a experiência de consumo em mundos virtuais sociais, em especial no Second Life, tomando como base o conceito da fluidez. O objeto de estudo foram as comunidades virtuais do Second Life, durante o período da pesquisa que ocorreu entre o final de julho e o início de novembro de 2010. Para fazer a pesquisa de campo, empírica e exploratória, foi utilizada a metodologia da netnografia (etnografia virtual), descritiva por definição, como forma de atingir o objetivo proposto. Netnografia é a rigorosa e sistemática adaptação da etnografia especificamente alterada para as contingências do comportamento e interação online, isto é, ao estudo das comunidades virtuais. As atividades de pesquisa foram realizadas com observação participativa, isto é, com a participação, pelo pesquisador, no cotidiano do mundo virtual Second Life, que vivenciou, como um novato, a experiência de consumo em si. A dissertação aqui apresentada é o resultado do engajamento do pesquisador em uma imersão nas comunidades virtuais do Second Life. Foi concluído que experiência de consumo nos mundos virtuais é enriquecida pela participação em comunidades virtuais. A fluidez – percebida pela telepresença (imersão), perda de noção de tempo, envolvimento, prazer e diversão – é uma sensação que pode ser considerada típica e freqüente dos mundos virtuais e potencializada pela participação em comunidades virtuais. A participação em comunidades virtuais permite que os usuários vivenciem uma experiência rica, que seja ativa, responsiva, interativa e participativa, o que potencializa a experiência de consumo nos mundos virtuais.

Can location-based mobile marketing enhance the customer experience and increase customer satisfaction and loyalty?

This study intends to explore the impact of customer experience on customer satisfaction and loyalty by trying to understand how location-based mobile marketing might enhance the customer experience. Primary data was collected from 201 smartphone users in 24 countries. Results have indicated that targeted location-based marketing positively influences customers’ experiences. Besides, the analysis has also shown a favorable impact on customers’ satisfaction and self-perceived loyalty. This suggests that location-based mobile marketing has the potential to positively add value to a customer’s experience and should therefore be considered an important tool in marketing communications.

An examination of the joint venture market entry option in China : a case study of an Australian company's international marketing experience in China

There is a widely held view in the literature that foreign companies looking to invest in the China market should opt for joint ventures rather than wholly foreign-owned enterprises for many reasons, ranging from a smaller capital commitment to utilising the market knowledge of local Chinese partners. This paper examines this issue in the light of the experience of the Foster's Brewing Group which established three joint ventures in China only to reject this form of market entry option within a few years. The paper looks at some of the reasons behind Foster's rejection of the joint venture option and proposes some key guidelines that foreign companies should follow if they are to successfully establish joint ventures in China.

Marketing research and its value: the experience of Australian organisations

There is a continuing need for organisations to identify the returns obtained from marketing research, such as direct knowledge acquisition or the indirect results of decisions made using this information (e.g., financial returns). This paper reports on a study based on a conceptual model proposed by earlier researchers that explored knowledge acquisition derived from marketing research, together with its dissemination and utilisation. An adequate fit for the model was found using primary data from a sample of decision-makers in Australian organisation. The findings of this empirical study show an association between marketing research, knowledge utilisation, and the performance of the organisations sampled.

Teaching quality and tutorial delivery : experience of a second year marketing unit

The higher education sector, the world over, is faced with the challenging task of servicing an increasingly diverse international student community in the globally competitive education market. The rising expectation of students of education outcomes, varied learning styles and orientations of the student population have brought in challenges such as providing a high quality educational environment with changes in curricula and pedagogy (Coldrake, 2001) to negotiate the cultural and linguistic diversity and the resulting expectations of students. The 'quality' of teaching and learning is high on the agenda among the key issues that had emerged from policy developments to meet these challenges.

Using the SPQ2F instrument (Biggs, 2003) and depth interviews, this paper investigates the study 3J'PToaches of students enrolled in a second year marketing unit in an Australian university focusing on the learning contexts in which learning occurs. The findings indicate that there are no significant differences in study approaches of students and that the study approaches differ according the learning context. The paper concludes that student perceptions on learning contexts assist in the development of teaching strategies that lead to quality outcomes, higher student satisfaction and providing universities a competitive edge in marketing its services to prospective students.

Unifying Services Marketing and Operations with Service Experience Management

One of the pioneer firms in the leisure cruise industry embarked on a bold idea in 2000 to offer an unregimented experience unlike most cruises. Despite the appeal of the concept from a marketing perspective, the service innovation posed operational challenges, many of which continue to undermine the firm’s competitive position. Using a multi-method empirical approach and interdisciplinary views that draw on research from marketing and operations management, the authors analyze this business case to identify challenges that service firms face when services are developed and managed from siloed functional perspectives. Based on their research findings and guided by the literature, the authors derive a service-systems model to aid service planning and management. The authors further highlight a new organizational form and function for services under the domain of service experience management that is positioned as a means to unify service operations and marketing for delivering on service promises. The authors offer direction for further research on service operations systems and service experience management.
