A Study on Qualities of Service Experience and Implications for User Experience Research

Published: 05 September 2016 Publication History

Abstract

This study is focused on business-to-business services, characterized by many different touchpoints and complex networks of actors. Following a phenomenological and an outcome-based approach, seven customer representatives were interviewed about their service experiences regarding the same single supplier company. The results suggest that the diverse individual experiences are influenced by a variety of factors. The results also give evidence that in business-to-business services, an individual viewpoint of service experience is too narrow as many experiences seem to be mediated and co-created. This suggests changes are required in service experience research.
