"This book provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the
principles of services marketing management, and the vital link
between the promises that marketers make to their customers, and
the standards of service that operational managers must actually
deliver. There is particularly good coverage of the contemporary
challenge of industrialising the service encounter and the book
provides a welcome discussion of the concept of emotional labour.
This new edition is brought up to date with discussion of recent
developments in technology that are transforming many service
sectors".
Adrian Palmer, Professor of Services Marketing, University of
Gloucestershire
