Towards the convergence -- The future of consumer services: factory and theatre -- Biographical notes.This book presents latest research on the evolution of consumer services, as these services continue to become a larger part of the economy in the world. Four core focal points lead the central message of the book: first, the convergence of back and front offices; second, placing the client as a fundamental input of services production and delivery process, and 'industrializing' the customers' role to combine efficiency and experience; third, the constitution and role of inputs necessary for the configuration, production and delivery of the service, with the crucial role of 'operationalizing' the customers' experience; and fourth, the adoption of new technologies and the appropriate transfer of manufacturing managerial practices through service industrialization. This is a special volume of articles based on solid research and analysis, including conceptualization of the important issues, as well as recommendations for managers. It presents case histories and managerial practices in some key sectors, such as financial services, health care, tourism/hospitality, entertainment and media, online services and home and personal services.Service industriesSales managementProduction managementInformation technologyBusiness—Data processingServiceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527020Sales/Distributionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/524000Operations Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/519000IT in Businesshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/522000Service industries.Sales management.Production management.Information technology.Business—Data processing.Services.Sales/Distribution.Operations Management.IT in Business.330338.4650658.5Baglieri Enzoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKarmarkar Udayedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910298557203321Managing Consumer Services2537784UNINA
