Here are the correct matches for the four I's of services:
-
Intangibility: A service cannot be held, touched, or seen before the purchase decision.
-
Inconsistency: Because services depend on the people who provide them, their quality varies with each person's capability and day-to-day job performance.
-
Inseparability: In most cases, the consumer does not view the deliverer of the service as distinct from the service itself.
-
Inventory: Services are often costly in that the firm must maintain the personnel and equipment necessary to provide the services at the time the consumer wants them.
