• (1)Where. (2)When. (3)How• The three interrelated elements of distribution
are:1. Information and promotion flow: to get the
customer to buy the service2. Negotiation flow: reaching an agreement on
service features and configuration3. Product flow

Preference• Use of different channels to deliver the same service • For complex and high-perceived risk services, people rely
on personal channels • Individuals with greater confidence and knowledge about
a service/channel use impersonal and self-service channels
• Customers with social motives use personal channels• Convenience is a key driver of channel choice

Where?
12
• Operational requirements determine the location. Eg airport
• Geographic constraint• economies of scale Eg multispecialty hospital
Location constraints
• Small service factories to maximize geographic coverage
• Eg banks in supermarketsMinistores
• Closer to customers residential/workplace• Petrol pumps with retail chains
Locating in multipurpose
facility

When?
• Tradition:• Schedules were restricted• Service availability limited to daytime, 40-50 hours a
week
• Today• For flexible, responsive service operations: 24/7
service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all around the world

As created by originating firm
As enhanced by distributor
As experienced by customer
+Core = Core
Core product Supplementary services
Total experience and benefits
Challenges for original supplier Act as guardian of overall process Ensure that each element offered by intermediaries fits overall service concept
![Page 21: Distributing Services Through Physical And Electronic Channels](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56816337550346895dd3c725/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Franchising
• Popular way to expand delivery of effective service concept
• Study shows significant attrition rate among franchisors in the early years of a new franchise system– One-third of all systems fail within first 4 years – Three-fourths of all franchisors cease to exist after
12 years

• Some loss of control over delivery system and, thereby, over how customers experience actual service
• Effective quality control is important yet difficult• Conflict between franchisees may arise especially as
they gain experience• Alternative: license another supplier to act on the
original supplier’s behalf to deliver core product

• Marketing services (i.e., physical logistics) face challenges due to:– Distances involved – Existence of multiple time zones– Multiculturalism (especially, immigrants and indigenous
people)– Differences in laws and tax rates
• Large U.S. companies counter this by:– Targeting specific market segments– Seeking out narrow market niches

People processing services
People processing services require direct contact with customers(1)Export service concept Acting alone or in partnership with local suppliers(2)Import customersInviting customers from overseas to firm’s home country(3)Transport customers to new locationsPassenger transportation (air, sea, rail, road)

• Possession processing involves services to customer’s physical possessions
• Information-based services include mental processing services and information processing services
(1)Export the service to a local service factory (2)Import customers (3)Export the information via telecom

standards, common marketing regulations• Competition Drivers Competitors from overseas; interdependence of
countries Firms may be obliged to follow competitors into new
markets to protect own positions elsewhere

Globalization drivers
People processing
Possession processing
Information based
Competition Simultaneity of production and consumption limits leverage of foreign competitive advantage, but management systems can be globalized
Technology drives globalization of competitors with technical edge
Highly vulnerable to global dominance by competitors with monopoly or competitive advantage in information
Market People differ economically and culturally, so needs for service and ability to pay may vary
Level of economic development impacts demand for services to individually owned goods
Demand for many services is derived to a significant degree from economic and educational levels
![Page 33: Distributing Services Through Physical And Electronic Channels](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081416/56816337550346895dd3c725/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Globalization Drivers
People processing
Possession processing
Information based
Technology Use of IT for delivery of supplementary services may be a function of ownership and familiarity with technology
Need for technology- based service delivery systems depends on possessions requiring service and the cost trade-offs in labour substitution
Ability to deliver core services through remote terminals may be a function of investment in computerization, etc.
Cost Variable labour rates may impact on pricing in labour-sensitive services
Variable labour rates may favor low-cost locations
Major cost elements can be centralized and minor cost elements localized
Government
Social policies (e.g., health) vary widely and may affect labour cost, etc.
Policies may decrease/increase cost and encourage/ discourage certain activities
Policies may impact demand and supply and distort pricing

Conclusion
• Distribution relates to both core and supplementary services and embraces three interrelated elements
• Channel options include: (1)Customers visit the service site (2)Service providers go to their customers (3)Service transaction is conducted remotely • Place and time decisions include where
services should be delivered, when it should be delivered

Conclusion
• Delivery in cyberspace is facilitated by technology; e-commerce allows 24-hour delivery, saving time and effort
• Intermediaries play roles in distributing services
• Service processes affect international market entry via the drivers:
Market ,Competition ,Technology ,Cost ,Government
