18. Differences Between Product
and services
1.While a product is concrete, service is an
activity or process
e.g.: While an Aircraft is an product, flying
to an particular destination is a service
2.Products are Tangible while Services are
Intangible
e.g.: One can touch ,see, smell a product
one wishes to buy Vs experiencing a foot
massage at spa
19. 3.Products are Homogenous while Services
are Heterogeneous
e.g.: anybody producing a good can
standardize the output. The quality of service
depends on who, when, where the service
is produced
4.Product and distribution of goods is
separated from consumption. In Services,
production, distribution and consumption is
simultaneous
20. 5.Core values of products is produced in the
factory while that of services is produced in
the buyer-Seller Interaction
6.Goods can be stored and it is impossible to
store services.
7.There is a transfer of ownership of goods
from the manufacture to dealer to consumer
e.g.: Buying and selling of cars
In services you can have access to the
services but cannot own it.
e.g.: You can stay in a hotel room but you
cannot own it
