Description
The application of service marketing knowledge in the real world is the emphasis of this module. It requires the student to work as part of a team in a PBL context. The aim is to develop a critical appreciation of services marketing as it pertains to real business activities. It is expected that the student will focus on the development, design and marketing of a service idea or business. It is based on obtaining both a strategic and operational mind-set to the development and marketing of a real idea. It is incorporating the theory into the practice. The module allows the student to be creative and innovative in a service context, to challenge their own ideas and justify all decisions they make.

Teaching and Learning Strategies
One lecture per week covering recent writing and research from the field of Services Marketing.
Students work in teams of three or four developing and marketing a service/idea. Each week they do a formal presentation to their class group on what they have done since the previous week and the work they hope to complete in the following week. Much of the work occurs out of class time with the guidance of the lecturer.
A number of documents including a proposal, interim report and final report as well as weekly one page task documents have to be completed. Peer review and lecturer feedback is provided each week
A key to the PBL process is small group learning facilitated by the lecturer.
