Service Operations
Characteristics of Service Operations that are relevant to software services industry:
- Intangibility: Service is produced instead of tangible product. Therefore service innovations can be easily copied by competitors.
- Perishability: Human resource intensive services cannot be produced in advance, therefore demand and supply is difficult to manage. This also affects business scalability.
- Heterogeneity: Service encounters are unique and customer needs vary, therefore software services are difficult to standardize and productize. Therefore service business is also difficult to scale.

Famous quotes containing the words operations and/or service:
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“The gods’ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
