Summary: Learn to think & execute a service business successfully.
Comment: "Services Marketing" is written as a series of articles, each of which covers a particular subject in depth. This is not the kind of book which you read from beginning to end, but the articles include interesting material, so you may find yourself dipping into chapters without following any definite plan. The book is strong on marketing theory, and it includes extracts from numerous case studies which illustrate the propositions being discussed. The examples cover a wide range of industries and usually refer to real-life organizations such as Fedex, United Airlines, Citibank, Domino's Pizza....
The reason I first looked at this book, was because I came from a product background and needed to learn new skills that could be directly applied to ACSL's business: which is marketing information services. So it helped me as a newbie in marketing services. However, my co-editor from whom I borrowed this book, was at that time the European marketing manager of a major computer services company, and she found different aspects of the book useful. So we have no hesitation recommending it whatever your job title or previous experience.
"Services Marketing" is helpful whether you're just looking for a sourcebook to give you new ideas to use in your latest promotion, or whether you're looking for a framework to help you reorganize your international business around a marketing services culture.
