Service management: operations, strategy, information technology

Abstract

Services touch the lives of every person in this country every day: food services, communication services, and emergency services, to name only a few. Our welfare and the welfare of our economy now are based on services. The activities of manufacturing and agriculture always will be necessary, but we can eat only so much food and we can use only so many goods. Services, however, are largely experiential, and we always will have a limitless appetite for them
