Service Management is the management of service producing industries (in contrast to manufacturing and agricultural industries). The term is most widely used in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector, and also has notable use within the housekeeping and car repair/maintenance industries. However, almost all firms provide a combination of goods and services and a service management focus can help drive revenues. (Collier 2006)
Business faculty have relatively recently been studying services as a part of Operations Management. In 1972, Harvard Business School published its first services management case, Benihana of Tokyo. *
