The Experience Economy: Work is Theatre and Every Business is a Stage is a business and economics book that was authored by Joseph Pine and James Gilmore. The main idea of the book focuses on the suggestion that businesses on a smaller scale and an entire economy runs on the concept of experience rather than just the simple exchange of products, services, and commodities, hence the term experience economy. Pine and Gilmore introduced the concept by briefly discussing the limitations that come with the rapidly aging agricultural economy. It can be recalled that prior to the industrial revolution and the development of modern economies, a large portion of private enterprise revenues came from farms and agricultural and commodities-related businesses. Then the industrial economy came, fueled by the popularization of the production line or the concept of mass production. The distribution and sales of industrial goods became a common business scenario. The agrarian economy proved to be stable (with minimal to flat growth annually, in the face of a rapidly growing …show more content…
the experience economy) is more than just a concept or a business model, because it may also be used as a marketing idea. Customers often make buying and investment decisions based on value proposition. In such a case, the business that offers the highest value proposition (i.e. highest quality per unit for a reasonable price) would most likely prove to be the winner because customers would flock on its side. Therefore, in order for businesses to market their products and or services, they can model their value proposition scheme based on the concept of experience economics. Basically, what they want to achieve is to be able to product the product or service that the market needs, and at the same time, provide a unique experience that would make the customers go back and ask more of business’ products or
The most remarkable aspect of the ‘Value Store’ is that it is constantly developed and upgraded. For example, there are several generations of value stores, and each store has its own unique theme. The theme of first generation store was ‘value’, focusing on providing comfort and convenience. The theme of second generation store was ‘Artience’ which is a compound word formed from ‘Art’ and ‘Science’. The third generation store’s theme was emotion and culture. By establishing value stores, Homeplus can occupy an exclusive position in the market, and also gain positive reputation. This could be synergistic gains, since the value stores will share its high reputation with other normal stores of

The most influential cultural practice of our time is the culture of capitalism, as it is the dominant form of economic organization across the globe (Anderson 2010). Capitalism takes and makes places throughout the globe, leaving traces that affect the commodities we buy, the livings earned, the methods and motives for travelling, and the meanings associated with them (Anderson 2010). The culture of capitalism is based upon trading products, experiences, and services, at all different scales - locally, nationally, or globally. Those who successfully trade products and services, and those who are limited to selling their labour to help other manufacture and provide the desired product often define capitalism. The process of making more money is a key defining element of the culture of capitalism (Anderson 2010).
Part one of this book deals with the shift from a mercantile economy into a “modern economy”. “A modern economy turns people who are close to the economy, where they are apt to be struck by new commercial ideas, into the investigators and experimenters who manage the innovation process from development, and in many cases, adoption as well.” (Phelps 27) The shift from a mercantile economy to a modern economy stopped people from just buying...
In The Experience Machine by Robert Nozick brings up the idea of having a machine which you are hooked up to that will make you feel like you are experiencing certain desires. Someone who is a hedonistic that tries to maximize pleasure on how you feel on the inside, while reducing pain will think this is would be a great idea. What more could you want? Having the feeling of accomplishing all of your dreams while doing virtually nothing. Nevertheless, I believe there is more to life than just the feeling of pleasure. During those years that you are plugged in may seem appealing and pleasurable, but spending the rest of your life plugged into a machine while everyone else around you is living their life in the moment and accomplishing their dreams

The purpose of this component is to obtain the voice of the customer. In other words, this portion of the strategy seeks to understand the experience the customer had on the website. The experience analysis component aims to supplement the analysis of clickstream data. For example, clickstream data provides various information such as how many visitors the website had, or how long a customer stayed on the website. However, it does not state whether the customer had a pleasant time on the site. In order to retrieve information on the experience the customer had on the website, organizations must do research. Methodologies such as A/B testing, customer satisfaction surveys, and usability testing are forms of research that organizations should use to obtain the voice of the
Innovation is the machine that generates business opportunities in the market however, it is the Implementation of potential innovations that truly dives business to be remarkable (Wheelen, T., et al., 2015, p.9).

According to the customer value triad theory by Earl Naumann, “value is a combination of quality, service and price” (Naumann, 1995). In this case quality could be defined as performance quality, the objective quality of a product (Kotler & Keller, 2012). A product with high performance quality, increases the value of a product. The value of a product is furthermore positively influenced by the service that is delivered (Kotler & Keller, 2012). The price however, can both positively and negatively influence the value of a product. A high price will in most cases decrease the value, but for some exclusive and luxury goods, a high price increases the value. The exclusivity, which is of intangible nature, is than one of the most important determinants of the value of the product. For most normal goods however, the objective quality is the prime determinant of the value. Although intangible benefits can be important in determining the value of a product, in most cases it is still the tangible benefits and costs, the objective quality and the price.
Therefore, it can be said that the 4Ps approach is more focused on product, while the value approach is, on the contrary, focused on customer - it is a more customer-oriented marketing strategy, which, in some aspects, is close to one-to-one marketing. In addition, the value approach is more precise, thus helping marketing professionals in creating and marketing all the 4 types of their offerings more
I understand the term customer value to define how customers weigh the benefits of individual purchasing decision against the costs of these products.

Customer value is a customer’s perceived preference for an assessment of those products, attributes, characteristics, performance and outcome emerging from utilize, that encourages (or block), accomplishing the customers goal and objective in use situations. Woodruff (1997)
Value can mean different things to different people; it is measured by a product’s performance and by the elements it is made up of which customers are prepared to pay for. (Hanson et al, 2008)
In other word, it means that they are marketing services rather than goods. For example, a hotel will want to give a relaxing and fun atmosphere for the customers and inspires those same feelings in the consumer. Because the hospitality industry is mostly made up of tourism and other experiential services, a consistent brand identity is also very important. Marketers want to ensure that brand recognition exists so that customers will repeat to use their services. Repeat customers can create a greater revenue, which mean marketing strategy is necessary to consider about maintaining the relationships with the old customers while seeking out new customers as well (Hussung, 2016). Therefore, with the special characteristics of tourism products, the role of marketing in tourism industry compared with other industries is more important and implementation of marketing tools for a country is considerable. To illustrate, marketing can offer some information about the specific place to encourage the tourists to visit their destination (Laimer & Juergen, 2009). Thus, tourism revenue and international income can be increase by good planning and administration of marketing
