"This book explains the issues, models and theories currently recognised as representing the subdiscipline of services marketing. Theory chapters are supported by a bank of original and substantial case studies written from a UK/European perspective. The case studies are a key feature of the text, giving an insight into the operation of a range of service businesses not covered in the existing services marketing literature. They provide the opportunity to demonstrate how services marketing principles and frameworks can be applied to a vast range of commonly used small services as well as to large service organisations. The book has been designed to support courses in services marketing for undergraduate, postgraduate or post-experience students."--Jacket.
