Course Description:

This course will provide students with a broad understanding of services. The course content is an ideal study for expanding a BME concentration in Management, Business Administration or Business Management. Industries covered include retail, private practices such as law and healthcare, transportation, entertainment and others. Eighty-five percent of the jobs in the US economy are in the Service Sector. Specifically, the purpose of this course is three-fold. First, the content is designed to expand the student’s understanding of services as a science. Core to the concept of services is the customer, who, unlike the manufacturing customer, participates in the service delivery.
