【授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか) / Outline and objectives】
What are services? The service sector, which includes finance, education and tourism, now accounts for around 80% of developed countries' economies and today's graduates are highly likely to be employed in such organizations. The purpose of this course is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the theoretical and practical processes of marketing services, with a particular focus on tourism. Driven particularly by more demanding customers and advances in technology, organizations are pursuing closer and more interactive relationships with their customers, with important consequences for marketing. It is essential for companies and destinations to understand the impact of these changes in order to maintain and develop competitive advantage.
This course will consider strategic issues in services marketing; we will also consider micro-marketing issues relating to service design, the service experience, tourist behavior and the challenges and opportunities for managers presented by technological developments.
Students will engage in additional learning opportunities such as group discussions and presentations. We will analyze a number of tourism-related case studies in addition to other service sectors.

【到達目標 / Goal】
This course aims to give students insights into the particular characteristics of marketing services such as tourism. After exploring current marketing theory on destination marketing, consumer value creation and the consumer experience, the course will apply these to the management and marketing of services.
From the consumer perspective, students will learn about consumer behavior, the impact of the service environment and forming relationships with service providers. From an organizational perspective, we will consider managing the service environment, innovation and developing service brands in order to facilitate consumer value creation and provide more memorable and rewarding experiences.
