BMM5003 - Services Marketing

Objectives:

Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.

Content:

This module explores marketing practice in the service sector and highlights the similarities as well as the differences to marketing tangible products and services.

Service organisations range in size from huge international companies such as airlines, banks, hotels, telecommunications and freight transport to a vast array of locally owned and operated small businesses, including restaurants, dry cleaners, hairdressers, etc. Since these businesses differ from manufacturing businesses in many important areas, there is a genuine requirement for a different approach to planning and implementing marketing strategies and plans.
