    Study Notes

    Nature of Business Services

    • Intangibility: Services cannot be physically perceived; they are experienced through feelings, like healthcare treatment.
    • Inconsistency: Variability in service experiences based on individual customer needs; for example, differing customer experiences at a mobile service provider or beauty salon.
    • Inseparability: Services are produced and consumed simultaneously; customers must be present to utilize services, such as using an ATM.
    • Inventory Loss: Services cannot be stored for future use; for instance, empty hotel rooms or unsold airline seats during off-peak times cannot be saved for later.
    • Involvement: Customer engagement is essential in service delivery; for example, clients often tailor services to their specific desires.

    Types of Services

    • Social Services: Offered voluntarily to achieve social objectives, including healthcare and education provided by NGOs.
    • Personal Services: Provide unique experiences to each customer, like tourism or dining in restaurants.
    • Business Services: Facilitate business operations, encompassing areas such as banking, insurance, communication, warehousing, and transportation.

    Banks

    • Importance: Essential for modern business development; they foster savings, mobilize small funds, and allocate them into productive activities.
    • Meaning: An institution that handles money and credit, collecting public deposits, supplying credit, and undertaking tasks like credit creation and agency services.

    Primary Functions of Banks

    • Accepting Deposits: Banks offer various account types tailored to different needs:
      • Fixed Deposit Account: Funds held for a specified duration, typically earning higher interest, with withdrawals allowed only after the term.
      • Current Deposit Account: Designed for businesses requiring frequent access to funds, allowing deposits and withdrawals on demand.
