Five I's of Service
Intangibility – services cannot be seen before they are bought. This is often true within healthcare

Inseparability: service rendering the service cannot be separated from the actual service. The client cannot separate from the surgeon providing the service

Inconsistency/variability: Services are highly variable because they depend on who provides the service. Quality varies by who is rendering the service.

Inventory/perishability: You cannot store services; you can only build capacity to perform the service when they are needed. This is not a problem when demand for the service is predictable and the firm has excess capacity. Ensuring that the capacity is always present in healthcare is very expensive.

Interaction with Customers: dependent on attitude of the client and the service provider. Customers rate this interaction which may determine the quality of the care provided.

Multivariate Analyses
Multivariate analysis (MVA) is based on the statistical principle of multivariate statistics, which involves observation and analysis of more than one statistical variable at a time. In design and analysis, the technique is used to perform trade studies across multiple dimensions while taking into account the effects of all variables on the responses of interest.
Time Series Analysis
In statistics, signal processing, and many other fields, a time series is a sequence of data points, measured typically at successive times, spaced at (often uniform) time intervals. Time series analysis comprises methods that attempt to understand such time series, often either to understand the underlying context of the data points (where did they come from? what generated them?), or to make forecasts (predictions).

Action - Practice new behavior for 3-6 months

Maintenance - Continued commitment to sustaining new behavior. 6months - 5 years

Diffusion of Innovation

innovators,early adopters, early majority,latemajority,laggards
theory of how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread through cultures.

Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system.

Innovators – early in! want it because it is a status symbol…want newest technology and newest trend thing! Help product in the beginning. Bail out early because they get bored easily.
Early Adopters – weigh decision a little bit, buy while it is growing, still learning, debugging
Early Majority – seen adds, believe it is effective, know about it
Late Majority – finally participate after much coxing
Laggards – wouldn’t budge for a while, may not have had the money
Boston Consulting Group Matrix
The BCG matrix method is based on the product life cycle theory that can be used to determine what priorities should be given in the product portfolio of a business unit. To ensure long-term value creation, a company should have a portfolio of products that contains both high-growth products in need of cash inputs and low-growth products that generate a lot of cash. It has 2 dimensions: market share and market growth. The basic idea behind it is that the bigger the market share a product has or the faster the product's market grows the better it is for the company.



Placing products in the BCG matrix results in 4 categories in a portfolio of a company:

1. Stars (=high growth, high market share)
- use large amounts of cash and are leaders in the business so they should also generate large amounts of cash.
- frequently roughly in balance on net cash flow. However if needed any attempt should be made to hold share, because the rewards will be a cash cow if market share is kept.
2. Cash Cows (=low growth, high market share)
- profits and cash generation should be high , and because of the low growth, investments needed should be low. Keep profits high
- Foundation of a company
3. Dogs (=low growth, low market share)
- avoid and minimize the number of dogs in a company.
- beware of expensive ‘turn around plans’.
- deliver cash, otherwise liquidate
4. Question Marks (= high growth, low market share)
- have the worst cash characteristics of all, because high demands and low returns due to low market share
- if nothing is done to change the market share, question marks will simply absorb great amounts of cash and later, as the growth stops, a dog.
- either invest heavily or sell off or invest nothing and generate whatever cash it can. Increase market share or deliver cash
