This can best be seen in service industries such as the food industry where making one burger is broken down by buns, lettuce and tomatoes (Levitt, 1972). Real life application. Using this approach, the concierge service can create a system through which each account is handled by a team of service providers. For instance, if a consumer requests dog walking, house cleaning service as well as house sitting service, the concierge service would send at least 3 providers to the home. Each provider would manage one portion of the duties. The provider can choose more than 3 and break the services provided down into more sections as well. Possible indications. Though using this approach can increase quality, for this type of service, the costs by far outweigh the added benefit to the consumer.
