Service Revolution in Comparison to the Industrial Revolution
Service has become a critical component of today's hyper-competitive, globalized marketplace.
Building customer relationships is an integral part of business today. In fact, many businesses' success depends on their ability to form solid relationships with their customers (Bitner, Booms, & Tetreault, 1990; Gremler & Gwinner, 2000). The service revolution has transformed business in the 21st century, just as the industrial revolution transformed business in the late 18th and early 19th century.

The Industrial Revolution changed the world evolving agrarian economies of centuries into manufacturing-based economies. Mass production was key to this revolution and turned production that was traditionally handled by craftsmen and artisans and placed into mass production factories. The Service Revolution is once again changing the way the world does business.
Just like the Industrial Revolution, business will never be the same again. These manufacturing-based economies of the 19th and 20th centuries have been transformed into service-based economies. and, just as during the Industrial Revolution, the Service Revolution has seen mass-production becoming an integral part of business, however now it is mass-production of services, as opposed to mass-production of goods.
The results will also be the same for this new Revolution.
As mentioned, during the Industrial Revolution, artisans and craftsmen fell by the wayside. In the Service Revolution, firms that have once been masters of building relationships one at a time will fall prey to those who are able to provide high quality service at a greater efficiency and a lower cost.

What autos a society depends on says a lot about that society too, and the gas-guzzling SUVs and pickups that have made up the backbone of American transportation indicate our indifference to global problems, including the problems the country is creating itself. What is so disturbing about America's role in the five-gas-stations theory is the message it sends quite openly to the rest of the world. Friedman notes in his
