Tiivistelmä: | Of the many questions confronting services management and marketing in the 1990s, one seems characteristic of the European thought and linked with the emergent postmodern condition: Is it possible to push the boundaries of services marketing beyond the individual level of analysis in order to increase the understanding of consumer behavior ? In this paper, it is presented that modern consumption has emphasized essentially the use-value of services. On the contrary, postmodern consumption can be said to crown a forgotten element: the social link. Thus, it emphasizes the linking value of services. Companies have to manage servicescapes not only as non-places of economic servuction but also as common places of societal ritualization. |
