PRODUCT AND SERVICE BASED COMPANIES
Product-Based Company
A product-based company creates, develops, and sells physical or digital products to
customers. These products are often mass-produced and sold to a wide range of users.
Key Characteristics:
• Develops and sells tangible (hardware) or intangible (software) products
• Invests heavily in research and development (R&D)
• Revenue is generated through product sales, licenses, or subscriptions
• High scalability – once developed, the product can be sold multiple times
Examples:
• Technology: Microsoft (Windows, Office Suite), Google (Search Engine, Android)
• Electronics: Apple (iPhones, MacBooks), Samsung (Smartphones, TVs)
• Automobile: Tesla (Electric Cars), BMW (Luxury Cars)
• Software: Adobe (Photoshop, Illustrator), Oracle (Databases)
Service-Based Company
A service-based company provides services, expertise, or solutions to individuals and
businesses. Instead of selling products, they offer skills, labor, or technology-based services.
Key Characteristics:
• Provides intangible services (IT support, consulting, cloud services, outsourcing)
• Revenue is generated through contracts, hourly rates, or project-based pricing
• Focuses on customer interaction and customization
• Less scalable compared to product-based companies as services require human effort
Examples:
• IT & Consulting: TCS, Infosys, Accenture (IT solutions, consulting)
• Cloud & Digital Services: AWS (Cloud Computing), Wipro (IT Consulting)
• Financial Services: Deloitte, PwC, EY (Audit, Tax Consulting)
• BPO (Business Process Outsourcing): Concentrix, Genpact, Teleperformance
