This document discusses the differences between goods and services. It defines services as acts or performances that are intangible and do not result in ownership. Services can be equipment-based, people-based, involve the client's presence or absence, and can be personal or business related. In contrast, goods are tangible property that can be owned and used repeatedly by the purchaser. While goods are something that can be used and consumed, services involve actions done for the customer that are intangible since no ownership is obtained over the actions. Services make up part of what constitutes goods.
