To illustrate the benefit of our method, a home service case is presented. The advantage of this research is that service innovation can be achieved systematically and DEA can be applied to screen the efficient service concepts.","PeriodicalId":125572,"journal":{"name":"2013 Fifth International Conference on Service Science and Innovation","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115667322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact these devices no longer merely replicate the same functionalities in different contexts, they can also dynamically interact among themselves when in close proximity. Thus, this is a two-fold challenge for service designers, they must handle the additional points of contact between service providers and their customers independently, and also in combinations. In this paper we present the relevant concepts for designing multi-interface services, and also introduce the concept of dynamic service interfaces. We illustrate these dynamic service interfaces by presenting an application to the design of a new multimedia service. This service makes use of dynamic service interfaces to deliver an improved and innovative customer experience.","PeriodicalId":125572,"journal":{"name":"2013 Fifth International Conference on Service Science and Innovation","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116111992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the focus is on front-end customer services, the interactions among agents involved in the service system become predominant. A good service design should fit the needs of customers as well as bring values to service providers. However, agents usually have different perspectives toward the value propositions of service systems. While these agents involve in the value co-production process, how to design a service system that can balance among different value perspectives become a significant research issue. After defining critical components of IT-enabled service systems, we propose a service choice theory to resolve potential value conflicts in value co-production process and apply Arrow's impossibility theorem to strengthen our argument. A solution that applies quality function deployment framework is then proposed to achieve the fit between value components and service offerings. At last, we use the u-health service system in National Taiwan University Hospital to illustrate how our proposed methodology is applied to design an IT-enabled service system.","PeriodicalId":125572,"journal":{"name":"2013 Fifth International Conference on Service Science and Innovation","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131497784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To find out the correlation matrix of House of Quality, this paper analyzes the engineering characteristics of three human-computer interfaces and further conducted surveys among these experts. We found that the prioritized customer attributes that need to be improved first is the computer self efficacy in the massively multiplayer online role play games, while the action games needs to improve the controllability of the players. In addition, the engineering characteristic of human computer interfaces is instinctive control that should be improved first.

For instance, customers can enjoy service either by cooperating with service firms or by having the firms do all the production work. The benefits of customer value co-creation in service context are well studied. However, little attention is given to examine customer co creation under service failure-recovery situation. Service failure and recovery are two important topics among academics and business leaders. Service failures occur when performance of service providers falls below customer's expectations, causing customers to elicit negative feelings and this ultimately leads to unfavorable behavioral intentions, and reduced re-patronage rate. Following service failure, recovery is as an essential mean to regain customer satisfaction. Prior studies have mainly focused on effects of service failure and recovery efforts on shaping customer perception and evaluation towards firms in service context. To advance our knowledge, this research will take an integrated approach to see how recovery (level of perceived justice and recovery effort) interacts with service failures in shaping customer responses towards service firms in a co-creation context. Customers can either co-create service or participate in service recovery. In the research, we propose that the level of customer co creation moderates the interactive effect of service failure and recovery on customer value, and in turn leads to customer loyalty. We argue that, following service failure, customers who are involved in service co creation will attribute blame for the failure to the firm less strongly than those who are not involved at all, as they partly hold responsibility for the failure. They are more likely to be satisfied with recovery of service firm. Second, when customers participate in recovery co-creation, they are more likely to be satisfied and perceive high level of value from recovery, and this leads to customer loyalty.","PeriodicalId":125572,"journal":{"name":"2013 Fifth International Conference on Service Science and Innovation","volume":"388 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114368452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach is a way to merge aesthetics and functionality into one design practice for fully meeting users' needs and satisfactions. From this design perspective, information that people will visualize should be accessible and understandable. Information satisfying these two criteria would have meaningful content that is self-explanatory enough to spark users' interest in seeing the information, to complement users' ability to understand it, and possibly to inspire the users further. That how to make the visual-information to be qualified falls not only onto the real practices, onto the general design theory that serves to enhance the visual-friendly nature of content for users, but also onto the understanding targeted users. Understanding your targeted users is the backbone of design processes from the very beginning to the end. This article addresses the preliminary stage in a robotic service and marketing experiment, where as to understand users' experience from their outer indication (behavior and reaction) and inner gain (information learned and perception). With visualization processes, information design solution, and Kolb's Learning Style, we defined (a) goal-oriented, (b) pioneer, (c) observer, and (d) risk-taker four user types. Those definitions and discussions provide important references for visual strategy development. As design rests on the processes of problem solving, user study rests on the processes of observing and understanding users for their needs, expectations and satisfactions. Aside from the information-design and commercial-design theories that can guide designers to ensure the representations are usable, legible and understandable, the user study can fill the gap in the theory and practice. It can also avoid the ambiguity of design details for sparking users' interest in access the interface and for inspiring them to activate further interaction.","PeriodicalId":125572,"journal":{"name":"2013 Fifth International Conference on Service Science and Innovation","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129748582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
