Aims

The service sector today occupies a significant position in the economies of most countries especially those in the West. As private sector service companies face increasingly fierce levels of competition, a further group of public services, including libraries, are beginning to experience the realities of competition for the first time. Service producers and managers have to be sure increasingly that they are producing the right services in the right places at the right time for the right price. Thus, marketing within the service sector is more important than it has ever been.
