Meeting the Needs of Society
In the Western world, Gross Domestic Product reflects the increased role of service production in the world economy. Today, 75-80% of the Western world’s production comes from services. It has been predicted that the service sector and service production will expand further.
Currently, there is a lack of higher education within the area of service management and a large demand of skilled and competent managers within the service industries.
