A business service is a general term used to describe work that supports a company but does not produce a tangible commodity. These kinds of work can include consulting, warehousing, shipping and handling, administration and security services and information technology (IT) support. Almost every company in operation needs one or more of these types of business services to function properly. The business service industry is a large and important sector of the economy. In fact, in many countries, the service economy accounts for more than 50% of total GDP.
In contrast to a product-oriented company, a service-oriented company has a much harder time building barriers to entry. This is because services are often intangible, making it hard to compare prices or products. Moreover, the performance of service companies is highly dependent on the behavior of their customers. For example, if a customer dithers at a fast-food counter, that may slow down service for everyone behind him.
Because of this, business service firms have to rely heavily on marketing in order to compete effectively with each other. This includes providing a strong brand image and highlighting the advantages that they have over competitors. Moreover, they need to provide high-quality customer service to ensure that customers stay satisfied with the quality of their services.
As the world’s economies continue to evolve, more and more companies are turning to outsourcing their business services in an attempt to cut costs. The benefits of doing so are numerous and can range from the ability to scale up or down as required to the ability to focus on core competencies without having to worry about administrative tasks.
When it comes to outsourcing, it is important for companies to choose their service providers carefully. They should look for service providers that offer flexible terms, have a solid track record of providing quality services and are able to handle fluctuations in demand. A good service provider should also be able to offer competitive rates for its services.
