Abstract

This article analyzes the distinctive characteristics of service enterprises that differentiate them from manufacturing and production organizations.

The article further discusses the role of human capital, technology, and customer interaction in shaping service quality and performance. Recommendations are given for improving service enterprise efficiency and competitiveness through innovation and customer-oriented management.
