Earl Sasser, Jr. Harvard Business School Prior to the establishment of the first formal courses in service management in the early 1970s, little research had been carried out to examine the properties of service activities that distinguished them from more-extensively examined activities of manufacturing organizations.

While efforts have been made to define value equations for both customers and employees, as presented earlier, these involve notional measures. For example, how do we measure and compare such things as results, quality of experience, and access costs for research purposes? Presumably, this is best done by asking customers or employees to quantify them. But it will require even clearer definitions of exactly what we mean by each of these terms. Further work on the impact of customers and employees as “owners” in the chain, and the extent to which their behaviors mirror each other, will require more fully-developed measures of the lifetime value of customers and especially that of employees.

As a result, factor analyses of opinions regarding retrospective or prospective behaviors may be used more frequently to study the phenomena. These are always subject to the criticism of the validity of relationships between what people say they have done or will do and actual behaviors. It will require added efforts to validate such opinion-based data, perhaps through selective sampling of actual behaviors and their comparisons with survey responses. Of greater concern is the lack of comparability among studies carried out in different organizations.
