All
human beings have unlimited wants. Human wants can be satisfied by production.
Production takes place in industries. Industries produce goods and services to
satisfy human wants. All goods and services produced should reach the final
consumers. Here commerce assists a lot. Commerce includes trade and aids to
trade. Commerce does see that all those goods and services being produced
should reach the final consumers. In this regard, banking, insurance,
communications, warehousing and transport assist the industries so as to reach
the goods and services to the final consumers.
Direct
services are those services which are performed directly to the people who
receive them. This is concerned with the provision of personal services. Direct
services are not concerned with the distribution of goods. They enable the
private individuals to make use of health facilities (eg, using doctors) and
obtaining knowledge and skills (eg, using teachers) as well as relying on the
maintenance of law and order and other personal services (eg, hair dressing,
journalist). Direct services help the firms’ employees to be better educated
and healthier and therefore they will be more productive.
Direct
services like education, health services, professional services assist
industries in such a way that both skilled and unskilled workers are available
for those industries. Clerical staff offer their services for a smooth running
of both trade and commercial activities. Thus, commerce, industries and direct
services are interdependent to each other.
