“Services†often have the connotation of low level, servant likeactivities. So, such services as cleaning, food provision,delivery, and protective actions are often seen as unsophisticatedand marginally partici- patory in the economy. It is said thatthere is no need to internationalize when others abroad can do itso easily as well, and often at a much lower price.
Yet, others identify top notch trained people
as leading service providers—be it as astronauts, internationallenders, or masters of drone air planes.
They claim that the future belongs to service provi- ders, andthat proper understanding and dispersion of services will make thedifference between win- ners and losers. Some even feel that theentire agricultural sector will, eventually, change into a servicerather than a production field.
