Welcome to Dinosnores

-

Dino Snores is an after dark event hosted by the Natural History Museum in London. It is designed to let you experience the Museum in a whole new way and interact differently with the artefacts and building.

“The evening hosts a variety of activities including:
    •      three live shows
    •      a delicious three-course dinner
    •      a trip to our galleries and temporary exhibitions
    •      live music
    •      edible insect tasting
    •      an all-night monster movie marathon
Cash bars will be serving drinks and nibbles throughout the night and in the morning you'll be treated to a hot breakfast.” (Dino Snores for Grown-ups, Natural History Museum 2017)

There’s also talks from the curators, comedy and to top it all off you get to sleep in the great hall beneath the blue whale skeleton.

This is a dream to anyone interested in the natural world or anyone looking for a zany way to learn about something new. This is one of the many ways the museum turns themselves into a premium product able to charge customers for something they are able to view completely free any other day of the year. Why is it though that people are willing to pay £160pp to attend? Using Dino Snores I am going to be exploring service dominant logic, its relevance and pitfalls when it comes to Arts Events.

Key Foundational Premises

In 2011 Vargo and Lusch’s presentation states that there was never a transition between the Goods and Service economies and thinking this “ reflects a flawed understanding on the market” (Vargo and Lusch 2011). The key foundational premises in this lecture are the below: “ FP1 Service is the fundamental basis of exchange - the application of operant resources (knowledge / skills) service exchanged for service - operant FP6 The customer is always a co-creation of value – implies value creation is interactional FP9 All economic and social actors are resource integrators – Implies the context of value creation is networks of networks (resource-integrators) FP10 Value is always uniquely and phenomenological determined by the beneficiary – value is idiosyncratic, experiential, contextual and meaning laden” (Vargo and Lusch 2011). Here you can see how Vargo and Lusch’s development of Service Dominant Logic focused more on a 2-way exchange of operant resources as a me...

Service Dominant Logic

Service Dominant logic is defined as: “the service-centred dominant logic represents a reoriented philosophy that is applicable to all marketing offerings, including those that involve tangible output (goods) in the process of service provision.” (Vargo and Lusch 2004, pp.1-17). Vargo and Lusch were the first to expand upon the theory and translate it to the modern theory we see today. Reading from ancient Greek up to modern day they identified that there had always been mentions of service. However, having reviewed goods dominant logic, they suggest that there has been an evolutionary shift to Service Dominant Logic. An important part of the theory that is commonly misunderstood is the concept of service as opposed to services. “ implying units of output as would be consistent with G-D logic.” (Lusch and Vargo 2006, pp.281-288) Vargo and Lusch wish to focus of the theme of service throughout the whole process from manufacturer to salesman to consumer and back again. ...
