Excerpt from the Book
Features of service/creative-industry
The service industry has distinctive characteristics that distinguish them from =any other industry or sector of the economy. Some of the distinguishing features include the following. As compare to any other area of the country’s economy it is evident that the services offered are intangible. This because they are experiences created for the desired customers and consists of actions by the service provider as compared to the products provided by the manufacturer.
Services can be best described as the services which are intangibles since they are performances by people or company rather than actual objects, they can’t be visible to the clients, can be felt, touched or tasted in as much as their counterparts in the industries which are products. In his works, Betason described this and termed intangibility as the substantial difference occurring between services and goods, from where the rest of the differences emerge.
This is one characteristic that is very different as compared to their industry. For instance, in the manufacturing sector a, the company may produce a new commodity and release it in the market. The company remains and owns the sole right of the produce and if anyone counterfeits the products the company may see the individual. On the other hand, the service and creative industry sector the services that are offered are intangible and hence can’t be patented legally. This puts the services at a risk since they could be counterfeit easily by any other person who may benefit and the inventor of the services to never benefit.
