Designing Services and Service Delivery

Abstract

The playground of small businesses and entrepreneurs is not only product development but also services and their delivery. In fact, a service business is a common point of entry for entrepreneurship. On some level, almost everyone is qualified to start a service-based business, because everyone has some skill, knowledge, or experience for which others are willing to pay. Starting a service-based business is quite an egalitarian proposition; anyone with a decent work ethic and a desirable skill can sell a service; as opposed to product-based businesses, there is a reduced financial commitment because there is no physical inventory to purchase and maintain.
