If a factory never puts out the same thing twice it’s actually really a service, isn’t it?
When I say, "Everything’s a service," or when I start talking about Service Dominant Logic. What I mean is starting about 1940 the percentage of the economy that’s based on services as opposed to manufacturing has increased to where now it’s probably about 80 percent of the economy that’s based on services. Even manufacturing is changing. When you think about manufacturing the more different kinds of products, you’re putting out of a factory, the more that manufacturing starts to look more like a service. Does that make sense? – Dave Gray
