		Syllabus
	
		Services possess several unique characteristics that require a distinctive approach to marketing strategy  - both in its
	
		development and execution. A focus on the unique characteristics of the service environment, adapting marketing
	
		management concepts to the service business context, identifying and analysing the various components of the
	
		extended services marketing mix, discussing key issues concerning the management and measurement of service
	
		quality and customer satisfaction. Understanding the critical role of service personnel and customers with respect to
	
		service delivery, service failure and service recovery. Examination of relationship marketing. Appreciation of the
	
		overlap in marketing, operations and human resource functions in service organisations to gain exposure to key
	
		operations, management strategies and tools (flow charting and yield management strategies), and human resource
	
		management issues (internal marketing).
	
		Introduction
	
		The services sector has grown rapidly over the last two decades. A good grasp of the unique challenges and strategies of
	
		services marketing is imperative for businesses to achieve service excellence in a highly competitive environment. You are
	
		already a consumer of service providers such as medical, travel or educational organisations. Now, you will step into the shoes
	
		of the service provider to view the process from a marketing perspective. Many graduates are likely to work for a service firm at
	
		some stage in their career, which makes studying the marketing of services particularly relevant. As with all study, you will gain
	
		more through keeping ahead of the course program, meeting weekly requirements and participating fully in lectures and
	
		tutorials.
	
		Unit Learning Outcomes
	
		All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an
	
		employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and
	
		attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the
	
		graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process
	
		referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or
	
		be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your
	
		achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will
	
		have achieved all of these learning outcomes.
	
		Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate
	
		Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.
	
		On successful completion of this unit students can:
	
		Graduate
	
		Attributes
	
		addressed
	
		1 Develop competitive strategies using frameworks/tools to analyse services
	
		2 Source and use relevant information to develop and present services marketing strategies
	
		for local and international service organisations
	
		3 Use people strategies, self - service technologies and service environments to enhance
	
		employee  - customer interactions in service encounters
	
		4 Apply relationship marketing and service recovery strategies to retain customers and build
	
		loyalty
	
		5 Apply analysis and problem solving skills in responding to review and application
	
		questions, and case studies relating to all aspects of services marketing theory in a variety
	
		of domestic and international contexts

		Assessment
	
		Assessment schedule
	
		Detailed information on assessment tasks
	
		1. You have recently graduated and have secured a role in the marketing department of an
	
		airline. You are asked by your manager to research and prepare a report outlining the
	
		importance of customer feedback for the airline, addressing the following issues:
	
		Definition and types of Customer Feedback
	
		Ways in which customer feedback can be gathered
	
		The benefits of collecting Customer Satisfaction information
	
		Concerns associated with Customer Satisfaction data
	
		How the airline may improve its collection of customer feedback
	
		Your manager intends to use your report to help prepare a verbal presentation for top
	
		management at an upcoming strategic meeting.
	
		This assessment is about developing a report (no more than 10 pages excluding references and appendices)
	
		that your manager can use to assist in developing a power point presentation at an upcoming senior
	
		management meeting. Your manager is obviously time - poor and needs you to conduct the underlying
	
		research and write a report that will lead to a strong and engaging presentation. 
	
		You are expected to research the topics outlined, sourcing at least seven strong references that are relevant
	
		to this topic. There is no one specific answer to this topic and your report will be strongly directed by the
	
		references that you source.
	
		Your manager will be expecting a report that's highly relevant to the topic, well - structured and clearly
	
		written. Your manager would like to draw from your report to structure a strong 10 - 15 minute
	
		verbal presentation that will engage an audience comprising industry Services Marketing
	
		professionals.
	
		The grading of your report will be based on a rubric (see appendix 2). Please refer to this when preparing your
	
		submission. In regards to this task, note the following:
	
		l Your submission should be carefully planned prior to starting writing to ensure relevance to
	
		the topic and good sequencing of ideas
	
		l You are expected to consult at least 7 recent, high-quality journal articles on this topic as
	
		well as any other sources that you believe are relevant and authoritative
	
		l The work should be correctly referenced throughout the document (Chicago protocol)
	
		l A list of references should appear at the end of the document (Chicago protocol)
	
		l Your writing should be structured under appropriate headings and sub - headings
	
		l Appropriate use of paragraphs should be evident throughout the document

		l Avoid vague or sweeping statements
	
		l Ensure that there’s a logical flow throughout the document
	
		l Do not write in the first person (Don’t use “ I ”, “we” or “us”)
	
		l Edit your work thoroughly
	
		Length requirement: The submission should be no longer than 10 pages (1.5 spacing, 11 font)
	
		Submission: Via turnitin by Friday 5pm, week 5
	
		2. There are TWO online multiple choice tests set during the term, each worth 15% of your final grade. You
	
		have one chance to complete the test during the week in which the test is made available. Please take
	
		special note of the time on which the test will be made available on black board.  Each test comprises 30
	
		multiple choice questions and is to be completed within 20 minutes. Both tests are open - book
	
		assessments and you may refer to your textbook and notes during the test sessions. However, take
	
		careful note that these are challenging assessments that require a thorough knowledge of the unit
	
		material being tested. If you need to refer to the textbook or notes often, you will run out of time and fail
	
		to complete the test. You will be given your grade immediately after completing the test, regardless of
	
		whether all questions have been answered.
	
		3. This is a group assessment in which groups of no more than 4 members are expected to:
	
		1. Source a services firm that is willing to act as your client (have at least one option in place
	
		by week 2 class tutorial).
	
		l Ideally, your client should be a small or medium size business with little or no access to
	
		marketing expertise. Be aware that a high profile, large services business may already have
	
		sophisticated marketing programs in place and it will be hard for you to make a meaningful
	
		contribution
	
		l Examples of service firms that you may approach include: a café, restaurant, landscaper, medical or
	
		wellness practitioner, hair salon, electrician, travel agent, gym, nail bar, sporting club or any other
	
		business where the service element is a strong component of the product offering
	
		l Vote for a leader within your group. The group should acknowledge that the leader will monitor each
	
		member’s contribution to the strategic component of the plan which is awarded a group mark. If any
	
		member of the group makes no contribution to the ‘group’ task, the leader should bring this to the
	
		attention of the tutor and that member (or those members) may be awarded no marks for that section

		of the plan.
	
		l Ask the client to nominate a specific person within their organisation who will liaise directly
	
		with your group leader, provide up-front information and agree to answer INSIGHTFUL
	
		questions emailed to him/her on a once-a-week basis
	
		l Ideally, you should spend some time at the business to at least observe the service delivery process
	
		and ideally do some basic customer research, if the client approves.
	
		l If your client raises confidentiality issues or concerns, please see your tutor for advice
	
		l Ensure that you get your tutor’s approval before finalising your potential client
	
		2. Prepare and package a PRACTICAL services marketing plan that gives your client relevant
	
		and insightful strategic input that can be affordably implemented into their business.
	
		l Find out as much as possible about the firm, the industry in which it operates, it’s customers and staff in
	
		order to demonstrate a thorough analysis of their business environment
	
		l You should visit the firm at least once and, with permission from management, take photographs of the
	
		service environment
	
		l Within the analysis of the competitive environment, propose and justify a positioning for your client’s
	
		service firm and develop a realistic marketing strategy to evidence and support this positioning

		l Demonstrate critical thinking, develop carefully considered solutions and practical strategic direction
	
		l Justify any suggestions you make and ensure they are realistic within this service context
	
		l Ensure that the report is written with clarity and that there is co - ordination and consistency across the
	
		sections
	
		l As with any good business report, include a cover page, executive summary, table of contents and a
	
		reference list
	
		l Do not give your client a lesson in services marketing. Rather, package your plan as a solution to
	
		your client’s services marketing needs and make use of relevant headings to showcase the contribution
	
		and the flow of the document.
	
		l Be careful to give recommendations for the future only in the Strategy section of the plan (“Service
	
		Marketing Strategies”). All other sections preceding the strategy section set out what the business is
	
		currently doing.
	
		l Where you have consulted external sources, remember to reference these appropriately.
	
		l Provide a copy of your report to the client only if you have produced excellent work. In return, request
	
		a reference letter from the client that you can add to your CV
	
		3. Submit the report by Friday 5pm in week 12 via turnitin.
	
		l The plan should not exceed 35 pages (1.5 spacing; 11 - font) excluding the appendix
	
		l Additional information can be provided in the appendix
	
		l Very important: Whoever submits the Client report via turnitin should indicate ON THE FRONT PAGE OF
	
		THE REPORT which members are responsible for each component (other than the Strategy section
	
		which is marked as a group effort.)
	
		4. Marking Guide
	
		The marking guide for the Client Report is shown in appendix 1 of this Unit Outline. 
	
		The suggested bullet points shown in the marking guide are  not a list that you should re -
	
		produce verbatim as headings. They are intended to provoke your thinking on those areas
	
		that may be appropriate to each topic heading. You can extend your discussion to additional
	
		areas that you think may be relevant to your client.
	
		Your grade for the client report is made up of 3 components:
	
		1. Each student is expected to present on the weekly tutorial activity TWICE during the
	
		semester and this will contribute 20 marks (10 marks for each presentation) to your Client
	
		Report grade (see Appendix for marking guide).
	
		2. In your group, divide the INDIVIDUAL components of the client report equally (or as close
	
		to equal as you can based on the available marks for each component) among the group
	
		members. The group leader has the final say. Each member is awarded a mark out of 60 for
	
		those components in the report that he or she completes individually.
	
		3. The strategy component in the client plan is graded as a GROUP activity. This is worth 20
	
		marks and each member of the group gets the same mark out of 20 for this component.
	
		Pass requirements
	
		Students must attempt all assessments and obtain an overall minimum of 50% to pass the unit.

		Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning
	
		outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of
	
		assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from
	
		policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm
	
		Late assessment policy
	
		This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair,
	
		transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.
	
		1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline.
	
		2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission
	
		(eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked
	
		value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two
	
		marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of
	
		16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be
	
		marked and will receive a mark of 0.
	
		Assessment extension
	
		A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or
	
		due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form
	
		(available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It
	
		is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the
	
		student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.
	
		The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the
	
		assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or
	
		due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she
	
		was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will
	
		not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.
	
		Deferred assessments
	
		If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check your OASIS
	
		email for details.
	
		Supplementary assessments
	
		Supplementary assessments are not available in this unit.
