    Service sector and its impact on economy

    The service industry forms a backbone of social and economic development of a region. It

    has emerged as the largest and fastest-growing sectors in the world economy, making higher

    contributions to the global output and employment. Its growth rate has been higher than that

    of agriculture and manufacturing sectors. It is a large and most dynamic part of the Indianeconomy both in terms ofemployment potential and contribution to national income. It

    covers a wide range of activities, such as trading, transportation and communication,

    financial, tourism, education, health, real estate and business services, as well as community,

    social and personal services. The most important services in the Indian economy has been

    health and education.

    The contribution of the services sector to the Indian economy has been manifold: a 55.2 per

    cent share in gross domestic product (GDP), growing by 10 per cent annually, contributing

    to about a quarter of total employment, accounting for a high share in foreign direct

    investment (FDI) inflows and overone-third of total exports, and recording very fast (27.4

    per cent) export growth through the first half of 2010-11.

    considered to be an integral part of the economy and includes various sub-sectors spread allacross the country.

    1.Health sector

    Health has always been a high priority area in any country. It has been recognised as an

    important component in the process of economic and social development. It does not simply

    mean absence of diseases, rather it is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-

    being. Sanitation and hygiene, nutrition as well as safe drinking water are the basicdeterminants of good health. The indicators like infant mortality and maternal mortality rates,

    life expectancy and nutrition levels, birth rate and death rate, along with the incidence of

    communicable and non-communicable diseases reflects the health status in an economy. The

    existence of proper and well-defined health care facilities are vital not only for having a

    healthy productive workforce and promoting general welfare, but also for attaining the goal

    of population stabilisation as well as enhancing the overall quality of life of people.

    Over the years, India has built up a vast health infrastructure and manpower, with a wide

    variety of hospitals and dispensaries being set up at different levels and run both by public

    and private sectors.

    Classification:-

    The health sector in India has been fragmented between the Centre and the States. Items like

    public health, hospitals, sanitation, etc. comes under the State list of the Constitution, while

    the items having wider ramification at the national level like population control and family

    welfare, medical education, prevention of food adulteration, quality control in manufacture of

    drugs etc. have been included in the Concurrent list.

    (AYUSH) is responsible for designing, formulating and implementing policy in order to

    promote and propagate Indian systems of medicine, both within India and abroad. There are

    six systems of medicine and health care in the country. These are: - Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha,Yoga, Naturopathy and Homoeopathy. The main objectives of the Department are to:-

    Attain global leadership for country in the field of traditional medicine

    Upgrade the educational standards in the Indian systems of medicines and Homoeopathy

    colleges in the country

    Evolve pharmacopoeial standards for Indian systems of medicine and Homoeopathy drugs

    Draw up schemes for promotion, cultivation and regeneration of medicinal plants used in

    these systems

    Promote good health and expand the outreach of health care

    Improve the quality of teachers and clinicians;

    Ensure affordable AYUSH services and drugs which are safe and efficacious

    Facilitate availability of raw drugs which are authentic and contain essential components

    Integrate AYUSH in health care delivery system and national programmes

  • 8/3/2019 Service Sector .Gouri

    4/18

    Re-orient and prioritise research in AYUSH.

    The policy involves following strategies for achievement of its goals, such as:-

    I. Disease management including early case detection and complete treatment,strengthening of referral services, epidemic preparedness and rapid response

    II. Integrated vector management (for transmission risk reduction

    III. Supportive interventions including behaviour change communication, public-private

    partnership (PPP) and inter-sectoral convergence, human resource development through

    capacity building, operational research including studies on drug resistance and insecticide

    etc.

    The broad goals of the Mission are:-

    Reduction in Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR).

    Universal access to public health services such as womens health, child health, water,

    sanitation and hygiene, immunization and nutrition.

    Prevention and control of communicable and non-communicable diseases, including locally

    endemic diseases.

    Access to integrated comprehensive primary health care.

    Population stabilization, gender and demographic balance.

    Revitalize local health traditions and mainstream AYUSH.

    Promotion of healthy life styles.

    Implementation of existing programmes of the Ministry.

    As a result of all such measures, India has achieved impressive demographic

    transition owing to the decline of crude birth rate, crude death rate, total fertility rate and

    infant mortality rate. As per the available information, the crude birth rate (CBR) declined

    from 40.8 births per thousand populations in 1951 to 29.5 in 1991 and further to 23.5 in 2006.

    Similarly, there has been a sharp decline in crude death rate (CDR) from 25.1 deaths perthousand populations in 1951 to 9.8 in 1991 and further to 7.5 in 2006. The total fertility rate

    (average number of children likely to be born to a woman between 15-40 years of age) has

    decreased from 6.0 in 1981 to 2.9 in 2005. The maternal mortality rate has also declined from

    437 per one lakh live births in 1992 93 to 301 in 2001-03. The infant mortality rate, which

    was 110 in 1981, has declined to 57 per 1000 live births in 2006. While, the child mortality

    rate has decreased from 57.3 in 1972 to 17.3 in 2005.

    2. Retail sector

    Retailing is defined to include all the business activities relating to selling of goods and

    services to the final consumers. It is the final link in a product supply chain. In India, retailing

    is one of the fastest growing industries. It is estimated to be the largest single sector (after

    agriculture) both in terms of turnover as well as employment. After leading the ITbandwagon, India is poised to grow as a retail hub.

    The Indian retail sector is highly fragmented with about 15 million retailers. Out of the large

    number of total retail outlets in the country, majority of them relate to the food items. Since

    1990s, big industrial houses like Rahejas, Piramals, Tatas, etc. have started entering the retail

    industry. Besides, several Indian and foreign companies have been franchising for

    establishing exclusive outlets for their brands, both within the country and overseas. For

    instance, 'Bharati Group' had entered into a joint venture with the world's largest retail chain

    the 'Wal-Mart'.

    As a result, the Indian retail sector has been undergoing a rapid transformation in the past few

    years. The traditional formats of kirana stores, hawkers, grocers, etc. are being gradually

    taken over by the modern formats of department stores, discount stores, malls, supermarkets,

    convenience stores, fast food outlets, specialty stores, warehouse retailers, hypermarkets, etc.

    For example, Pantaloons started the 'Big Bazaar' discount stores in 2002; Reliance opened its

    first supermarket named 'Reliance Fresh' outlet in Hyderabad and has since fanned out to

    several States; Subhiksha outlets have been fast spreading across the nation; etc. Thus, the

    current face of Indian retail comprising the unorganised small and medium retailers is slowlychanging into a more organised form of retailing.

    As per the available estimates, of the Rs. 1,330,000 crore retail market, food and grocery

    retail is the single largest block estimated to be worth Rs. 7,92,000 crore (with 59.5 per cent

    share), but the share of organised sector in this is miniscule consumer needs, lifestyle and

    attitude. Further, shopping centre business alone is estimated to become a Rs. 40,000 crore

    business by 2010-11.

    3.Real Estate

    Real estate sector covers residential housing, commercial offices, retail outlets, trading spaces

    such as theatres, hotels and restaurants, industrial buildings such as factories and government

    buildings. It involves the purchase, sale, and development of land as well as residential and

    non-residential buildings. The activities of the real estate sector encompass the housing andconstruction sectors also.

    In India, the real estate and construction is a $16 billion (2006) (by revenue) industry. It is a

    major employment driver, being the second largest employer next only to agriculture. This is

    because of the chain of backward and forward linkages that the sector has with the other

    sectors of the economy. But, the Indian real estate market, as compared to the other more

    developed Asian and Western markets is characterised by smaller size, lower availability of

    good quality space and higher prices.

    Supply of urban land is largely controlled by State-owned development bodies like the Delhi

    Development Authority (DDA) and Housing Boards leaving very limited developed space

    free, which is controlled by a few major players in each city.

    Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in real estate is being permitted since January 2002.

    Previously, only NRIs and PIOs were allowed to invest in the housing and the real estate

    sectors. Foreign investors other than NRIs were allowed to invest only in development of

    integrated townships and settlements either through a wholly-owned subsidiary or through ajoint venture company along with a local partner.

    India fully opened up the sector to FDI in 2005. However, norms issued later made a

    minimum capitalization of $10 million for wholly-owned subsidiaries and $5 million for joint

    ventures mandatory. Besides, minimum area requirement were also imposed by the

    Government. At present, foreign institutional investment (FII) is not permitted in the real

    estate sector.

    India's real estate sector is witnessing an unfrequented high. Enabling regulatory changes,

    high industrial growth, easier financing options and steady growth in equity markets have

    resulted in an upturn in the real estate investment activity. This, coupled with the

    Governments relaxation of FDI policies has made the real estate an attractive investment

    option.

    4.Educational services

    Education is the most crucial investment and an essential element in human resource

    development. It has always been accorded an honoured place in every economy. It implies

    ability of the people to read, write and understand. It has the fundamental aspects of

    imparting knowledge, wisdom and culture. It helps in drawing out the latent potentials and

    talents of an individual. A well-defined educational system holds the key to economic

    growth, social transformation and modernisation integration of a country. It develops

    manpower for different segments of the economy and is the substrate on which innovation,

    research and development flourish. Thus, education helps the country in achieving social,

    political and economic goals on national and international levels. It also strongly influences

    improvement in health, hygiene, demographic profile, productivity and quality of life.

    Basic classification of educational services:-

    1. Elementary education.

    2. Secondary education.

    3. Higher education.

    4. Technical and Professional education.

    Marketing of educational services:-

    Marketing of educational services encompasses a wide range of activities but they are

    associated with certain features: - High expertise, Qualifications required, Confidentiality and

    High barriers to entry

    There are several clear reasons why professional services should embrace marketing:-

    1. To understand clients needs and wants.

    2. To develop and operate the most appropriate service offerings.

    3. To communicate the offerings to the clients and attract their interest.

    4. To become more business oriented in the highly dynamic competitive environment.

    5. To create the room for sustainable rapid growth.

    6. To enhance service quality.

    5.Information Technology and IT Enabled Services

    Information technology (IT) is amongst the fastest growing sectors in the country. Its

    contribution to GDP rose from 1.2 per cent in 1999-2000 to 5.2 per cent in 2006-07 and to an

    estimated 5.5 per cent in 2007-08. Growth of Indian IT industry has been driven by the IT

    software and services (IT services) and IT enabled services (ITES).

    Business Process Outsourcing (ITES-BPO) sector has emerged as a key driver of growth for

    the Indian software and services industry. It has become the biggest employment generator

    amongst young college graduates. The total number of IT and ITES-BPO professionals

    employed in India has grown from 284,000 in 1999-2000 to over 1.63 million in 2006-07. In

    addition, the industry helps to create millions of job opportunities through direct and induced

    employment in telecom, power, construction, facility management, IT, transportation,

    catering and other services.

    Indian companies are expanding their service offerings, enabling customers to deepen their

    offshore engagements and shifting from low-end business processes to higher ones. They are

    also enhancing their global service delivery capabilities through a combination of greenfield

    initiatives, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, as well as partnerships and alliances with

    local players. This has helped them execute end-to-end delivery of new services.

    Also, a majority of companies have already aligned their internal processes and practices to

    international standards such as International Organization for Standardization (ISO);Capability Maturity Model (CMM); and Six Sigma. This has helped establish India as a

    credible sourcing destination. As of December 2007, over 498 India based centres (both

    Indian firms as well as MNC owned captives) have acquired quality certifications with 85

    companies certified at Software Engineering Institute (SEI), Carnegie Mellon Capability

    Maturity Model (CMM) Level 5 (higher than any other country in the world).

    India is placed among the fastest growing IT markets in the Asia-Pacific region. Global

    software giants such as Microsoft, Oracle and SAP have established their captive

    development centres in here. Today, India is a preferred destination for ITES due to itsdistinct advantages, which lay in its supportive government policies; infrastructural facilities;

    low manpower cost; growing knowledge pool; specialised technical skills; higher

    productivity and quality of service; etc. This increasing attractiveness as an investment

    destination in IT has even led to a reversal of the brain drain i.e. the people of Indian origin

    who went to pursue careers abroad are now attracted to work in India itself.

    7.TOURISM

    Tourism has always been a major social phenomenon of any society. It is motivated by the

    natural urge of every human being for new experience, adventure, education, knowledge and

    entertainment. In order to understand each other's cultures and values as well as to cater

    several other social, religious and business interests, it has resulted in development of manytourist and infrastructure facilities. This, along with the progress of proper transportation

    network globally, especially of airways and waterways, has encouraged people to venture out

    to the foreign lands. It has facilitated the trade and commerce between the different regions of

    a country and between the different countries. As a result, over the years, it has acquired the

    status of a service industry.

    In India, tourism industry holds special position as it not only have potential to grow at a high

    rate, but also stimulate other economic sectors through its backward and forward linkages and

    cross-sectional synergies with sectors like agriculture, horticulture, poultry, handicrafts,

    transport, construction, etc. That is, it can provide impetus to other industries in the country

    and generate enough wealth to help pay off the international debt. It is the third largest netearner of foreign exchange for the country.

    Tourism product:-

    India offers various categories of tourism products, such as adventure tourism; medical

    tourism (ayurveda and other forms of Indian medications), eco-tourism; rural tourism; cruise

    tourism; meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) tourism; etc.

    Promoting Tourism Product

    The Ministry of Tourism acts as the nodal agency for the development and promotion of

    tourism in the country. It plays a crucial role in formulating national policies and programmes

    as well as coordinating and supplementing the efforts of the State/Union Territory

    Governments and private sector in improving the quality of tourism infrastructure. It

    catalyses private investment, strengthens promotional and marketing efforts and helps in

    providing trained manpower resources. As regards the domestic market, the Ministry aims to

    popularise the culture and natural beauty of different regions, pilgrim sites and various new

    tourism products. The Ministry has a public sector undertaking, namely the 'India Tourism

    Development Corporation (ITDC)' for carrying out its various functions, along with the

    There has been a remarkable growth, in the recent years, in foreign tourist arrivals to India

    due to the various efforts made by the Ministry, including promoting India through the

    'Incredible lndia' campaign in overseas markets. Incredible India is a multi-pronged

  • 8/3/2019 Service Sector .Gouri

    13/18

    promotional campaign launched by the Ministry in order to position the country as a

    preferred tourist destination for the travellers the world over. As a result of all such efforts,

    India's share in international tourist arrivals, which was 0.46 per cent in 2004 has increased to

    0.49 per cent during 2005; and further to an estimated 0.52 per cent in 2006 and 0.55 per cent

    in 2007. The foreign tourist arrivals has increased from a level of 3.46 million in 2004 to an

    estimated 5 million in 2007. Similarly, the foreign exchange earnings from tourism have alsoshown a phenomenal growth from US$ 6.17 billion (Rs. 27944 crore) in 2004 to an estimated

    US$ 11.96 billion (Rs. 49413 crore) in 2007. The share of India in world earnings from

    tourism registered an increase from 0.98 per cent in 2004 to 1.21 per cent in 2006. The

    number of domestic tourists in India has also grown phenomenally over this period, that is,

    from 366.23 million in 2004 to an estimated 462 million in 2006.

    4 As ofTourism sector:-

    1. Attraction.

    2. Accessibility.

    3. Accommodation.

    4. Amenities.

    Managing demand and supply:-

    The supply factors, as the mix of destination, facilities and services is usually called, can be

    broadly classified into 5 broad categories:-

    1. Attractions.

    2. Transport.

    3. Accommodation.

    4. Support and auxiliary services.

    5. Physical and communication infrastructure.

    Thus, Indian travel and tourism industry has been on rise and is gaining

    popularity amongst travellers all over the world. It is an engine of growth for Indian economy

    and helps to promote sustained development of infrastructure, such as airports, railways and

    roads, leading to connectivity of various tourist destinations. Besides, improvement and

    expansion of existing and new tourism products such as cultural and heritage tourism, rural

  • 8/3/2019 Service Sector .Gouri

    14/18

    tourism, adventure tourism, health and healing tourism, etc.; promotion of 'Incredible India'

    campaigns; as well as active participation of State Governments therein establishes India's

    competitive advantage in the sector. This has enhanced the foreign exchange earnings of the

    country as well as improved its trade relations with other nations. All such measures and

    incentives, undertaken by public and private sectors, are a source of several investment

    opportunities in the industry.

    Marketing model(strategic framework)

    Marketing model, as has been treated in the conventional management literature, is associated

    with the growth of the business. We can define strategy as a match between what a company

    can do(organizational strength and weaknesses) within a framework of what it might

    do(environmental opportunities and threats).

    1. Resource based view of the firm:-

    It combines the internal analysis of phenomenon within companies with external analysis of

    the industry. The resource can be assessed on the following dimensions:-

    A. Test of durability.

    B. Test of appropriability.

    C. Test of substitutability.

    D. Test of competitive superiority.

    In all these tests the focus is on resource base, keeping in the mind the market conditions andcompetitive factors.

    2. McKinseys 7-S framework also prescribes a model:-

    Strategy.

    Skills.

    Staff.

    Shared values.

    Styles .

    Systems.

    Structure.

    The strategic view of the firm suggests that there should be a source of competitive

    advantages.This source should be sustainable in the long run.

    3. Sustainable competitive advantages:-

    The main reason for analysing competitors is to enables the organization to develop

    competitive advantages against them, especially advantages that can be sustained over time.

    The real advantages come from advantages that competitors cannot easily imitate. Sources of

    sustainable competitive advantages are:-

    A. Differentiation.

    B. Low costs.

    C. Niche marketing.

    D. High performance or technology.

    E. Superior quality.

    F. Superior service.

    G. Vertical integration.

    In order to make comprehensive competitive model of marketing trough SCA, we canfollow following dimensions:-

    1.What to compete?

    2. Whom to compete?

    3. Where to compete?

    4. How to compete?

    PDCA was made popular by Dr. W. Edwards Deming, who is considered by many to be the

    father of modern quality control; however he always referred to it as the "Shewhart cycle".

    Later in Deming's career, he modified PDCA to "Plan, Do, Study, and Act" (PDSA) because

    he felt that check emphasized inspection over analysis.

    The steps in each successive PDCA cycle are as follows:-

    A. PLAN: - Establish the objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in

    accordance with the expected output (the target or goals). By establishing output

    expectations, the completeness and accuracy of the specification is also a part of the targeted

    improvement. When possible start on a small scale to test possible effects.

    B. DO: - Implement the plan, execute the process, and make the product. Collect data for

    charting and analysis in the following "CHECK" and "ACT" steps.

    C. CHECK: - Study the actual results (measured and collected in "DO" above) and

    compare against the expected results (targets or goals from the "PLAN") to ascertain any

    differences. Charting data can make this much easier to see trends over several PDCA cycles

    and in order to convert the collected data into information. Information is what you need forthe next step "ACT".

    D. ACT: - Request corrective actions on significant differences between actual and

    planned results. Analyse the differences to determine their root causes. Determine where to

    apply changes that will include improvement of the process or product. When a pass through

    these four steps does not result in the need to improve, the scope to which PDCA is applied

    may be refined to plan and improve with more detail in the next iteration of the cycle.

    Conclusions:-

    To conclude, there is no best strategy that can be suggested. The choice of a strategy depends

    upon the context, types of firms involved, investment, and timeframe in considerations.

    Strategic management literature has postulated several frameworks to further the

    understanding of the concept of strategy. A high-tech industry, however, is characterised by

    lot of changes. Since the beginning of strategic management discipline, the four major

    corporate strategy that have emerged are Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats

    (SWOT) in the 1960s, a strategic planning matrix in the 1970s, competitiveness in 1980s,

    core competencies in 1990s. We can sum up with a definition of strategy which is Growth of

    the business considering the vision and matching the external environmental dynamics with

    the internal resource base of the organisation.
