The Importance of Understanding The Product That Consists of Commodity Goods and Services

We’d have to know about the product. Almost everything that is around us can be said of the product. Call it a table, chairs, clothes, electronic goods, etc.. But actually what exactly is the product?? In economics and industrial products output is the result of experiencing transformation process and has the added value created by humans.

The word comes from English products, products which means “something that is produced by labor or the like”. The form of the word work product, ie Produce, an uptake of the Latin Produce (re), which means (to) lead or bring something to go forward. In 1575, the word “product” refers to anything that is produced (“anything produced”). But since 1695, the definition of the word refers to something more products are produced (“thing produced or Things”). Products in the economic sense was first introduced by the economist-politician Adam Smith.

Usually the product of a business and the industry is divided into 3 Commodities, Goods and Services.

What is a commodity

commodities are goods supplied from processed natural or taken directly (extracting) to meet human needs. These commodities may be a result of Agriculture, the Plantation, fishery and animal husbandry, mining, etc..

What is Goods

While the definition of goods according to Wikipedia, which as a physical product (intangible, tangible) that can be given to a purchaser and involves the transfer of ownership from the seller to the customer.

What is Service

Phillip Kotler (marketing expert) Service is any act or performance offered by one party to another party, in principle, intangibel and does not cause any transfer of ownership. Its production may or may not be related and tied to a physical product. Adrian Payne (marketing expert) Services are economic activities that have a number of elements (the value or useful) intangibel related thereto, which involve a number of interactions with consumers or with the property, but does not produce a transfer of ownership. Changes daiam conditions might arise and the production of a service may have or may not have links with the physical product. Christian Gronross (economists and business) services is a process that consists of a set of intangible activities which are usually (but not always) occurs in the interaction between customer and employee services and or physical resources or goods and or service providers systems, which are provided as a solution top customer issues. “interaction between the service provider and customer often takes place in the services, even if the parties involved may not realize it. In addition, it is possible there are situations where the customer as an individual does not interact directly with service companies.

But the conclusion of the third expert defines intangible or service that is intangible and does not have a transfer of ownership.

Talk about the products, along with the development of the business itself sometimes we can not distinguish between categories of business categories. Does that include the category of goods or services. For example coffee. If the coffee from the coffee the gardening including as processed in a coffee while the coffee powder packaging is already a product and if it is served at the coffee shop coffee has included service as being sold in the store besides coffee products are also the conditions that exist in the tavern them. This would be different if we enjoy at home or in a different place.

Then that made me more confused about the definition of products and services are on their own Internet connection product that product or service. We have to buy a modem and pay dues each month. accordance with the definition of goods is also happening kepemindahan ownership and there may be. but also can be regarded as service as an interaction between the seller and not only bound by the physical product.
