Observable oral participation in the servuction system: toward a content and process model
Article Abstract:
A model of a servuction system, which shows content and process elements in each phase, is proposed. In addition, management implications are highlighted and propositions for future research are presented. Two complementary stages of research into observable oral participation (OOP) were conducted. The first involved a convenience sample of university students while the second involved a customer survey. Results suggest that OOP is a powerful tool for generating customer conviction.
