Question 10.
What are services? Explain their distinct characteristics.
Answer:
Services are essentially intangible activities which are separately identifiable and provide satisfaction of wants. Their purchase does not result in the ownership of anything physical. Services involve an interaction to be realized between the service provider and the consumer.

There distinct characteristics of services as discussed below:

1. Intangibility:
Services are intangible, i.e. they cannot be touched. They can only be experienced and hence the quality of the service cannot be determined before consumption. Therefore, the service providers consciously work on creating a desired service so that the customer has a favourable experience, e.g., service in a restaurant should be a favourable experience for customer to visit again.

2. Inconsistency:
Services have to be performed exclusively each time according to different consumer demands as there is no standard tangible product on offer. Hence inconsistency is an important characteristic of services. Service providers need to modify their to work meet the requirements of the customers e.g. services provided by nationalized banks are quite different from the banking services provided by private banks.

3. Inseparability:
Activities of production and consumption are performed simultaneously in case of services which makes the production and consumption of services seem to be inseparable as services have to be consumed as and when they are produced, e.g. we cannot separate the medical services provided by a doctor.

4. Absence of Inventory:
Services are intangible and perishable and hence cannot be stored for future use. This implies that the supply needs to be managed according to demand as the service has to be performed as and when the customer asks for it e.g. a medicine can be stored but the medical care will be experienced only when the doctor provides it.
