| | Tertiary sector of industry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Services may involve the transport, distribution and sale of goods from producer to a consumer as may happen in wholesaling and retailing, or may involve the provision of a service, such as in tourism or entertainment. | | | The service sector consists of the "soft" parts of the economy such as insurance, tourism, banking, retail and education. | | | Since the quality of most services depends largely on the quality of the individuals providing the services, it is true that "people costs" are a high component of service costs. |

| | The Experience Economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Detracters contrast it with other service economy theses such as Natural Capitalism, in which there is a clear focus on making measurably better use of scarce resources, usually considered to be the basis of economics. | | | Their thesis has been criticized as an example of an over-hyped business philosophy arising from or in the dotcom boom and a rising economy in the U.S. that was tolerant of high prices, inflated claims, and no limitations of supply - or investment. | | | If you charge for the activities you perform, then you are in the service business. |

| | GATS: Service Economy Gets the WTO Treatment |
| | As a result, public services are likely to be forced into constant competition with the corporations leading to slashing of labor costs (including wages) and services to the poor. | | | Other countries resisted having their services come under international rules promoting "progressive liberalization." They would only agree to GATS if they could use a "bottom up" approach where they would choose which services would be covered by the agreement. | | | Further, the foreign service supplier has to be given "national treatment," which requires that foreign corporations be treated at least as favorably as domestic companies. |

| | Now the talk is that the service sector can drive the economy and that it is better if the Government switches its attention to this sector. | | | India's exports of services such as software have grown rapidly and these earnings (within the larger income from trade in "invisibles") have resulted in a healthy balance of payments position. | | | It is made of financial and telecom services, of restaurants and hotels, transport, retail and wholesale trade, sports and entertainment, government administration and defence, and personal and community (NGO) services. |

| | The Emergence of the Service Economy: Fact or Artifact? |
| | Average pay in the goods sector is higher than average pay in the service sector, but many jobs in the service sector pay more than jobs in the goods sector.[21] The shift in employment from goods to services has not led to a reduction in the pay of most American workers. | | | Furthermore, it can be assumed that employees in service bureaus who were no longer able to secure rents from their firms and yet were capable of competing with market rivals have moved to the service sector and offered their services to the firms that once employed them. | | | On the other hand, the service sector may have increased even though the shift to out-sourcing is likely to have increased the cost of obtaining services. |

| | How can I know that the service economy is collapsing and not just experiencing cyclical ups and downs? |
| | Now that is coming to an end, and the 40-year fraud of a shift from the most productive economy on the planet, to a services economy which is a predator sucking the blood of other nations, at a time when the other nations aren't going to put up with the sucking, we're finished. | | | In the 1999-2000 period, the amount of money required to be pumped into the economy, the world and US economy, to keep the financial markets from collapsing, exceeded the amount of financial values which were being rescued by monetary pumping. | | | And therefore, the point is to go back to recognizing that monetary values and paying people for prostitution and the moral equivalence of prostitution at McDonalds, or on stockmarkets-stock brokers are all parasites, that's your service economy. |

| | Evolutionary Economics - The fallacy of the service economy as something special |
| | In terms of the numbers employed in the service economy compared with previous eras when the primary sectors, mining and farming, and the secondary sector, manufacturing, employed the vast majority, the percentage is certainly rising all the time -- at least so far. | | | Factories could be planned, built and go into production by means of purely service jobs -- even service jobs that are far distant from a factory. | | | Whenever you read an economist talking about the coming service economy as though it were something special and different -- Beware! |

| | Get ready for the service economy July 14, 2002 |
| | Many a provider of every-day goods and services would like to do for their business what Starbucks has done with coffee shops — get the consumer to spend about three times what they used to spend. | | | The idea is that in the future people would spend a larger part of their income buying experiences rather than goods or services. | | | Before we get carried away with this concept, let’s consider the possibility that this may not really be a major economic transformation, but rather just a clever marketing strategy to get consumers to pay a lot more for something that was previously a cheap commodity. |

| | Service Economy |
| | Without an income, consumers won't be buying any goods, either the original 'cheaper' good or the extra service they might consider buying with the money saved from buying that original cheaper good. | | | Therefore, consumers will pay for that good at a lower price, have extra money in their pocket, and demand additional services--services that a market economy will create (you know, like landscaping, tax-planning, dog-walking, hair-grooming, adventure-writing, home-renovation, etc.). | | | Now, instead of selling his burgers to the guys outside the rubber plant, he's selling them to the fiscal advisors outside the tax planning agency. |
