Final Answer :
Servicescape describes the physical surroundings in which a service takes place. Rather than design a retail space strictly for profitability, managers must consider how the surroundings-the layout-have a humanistic effect on customers and employees. The three elements are ambient conditions, spatial layout/functionality, and signs, symbols, and artifacts.
