<p>Product does not equal service, which is the sole reason why many advise auditing businesses with A product, not just a service such as a hedge fund or bank.</p>
<p>Tangible asset, intangible...ring a bell</p>
<p>Well internet disconnected on me...but one we continue</p>
<p>What i wrote earlier was saying that calling a everything a "product" can be right or wrong when considering the context in which the user applies it, that is why i added "unless." It is clear however that you dont really understand the difference between the two</p>
<p>"Tangible asset, intangible...ring a bell"</p>
<p>Rings a bell back to intro to business 100 textbooks. </p>
<p>Hey Mr. Dictionary, try using a dictionary before you correct people.
Taken from the merriam webster dictionary:
"Product: 2 a (1) : something produced; especially : COMMODITY 1 (2) : something (as a service) that is marketed or sold as a commodity"</p>
<p>The funny thing is that I bet if you ask 100 lawyers what his/her product was, they "All" would say the services they render to a customer. And the funniest thing of all would be that they render more revenue per capita than you do. Last time I checked, when someone is the best lawyer in the world, he/she is a often called a "hot commodity."</p>
<p>Which then brings me to define the word commodity for you:
Taken from the merriam webster dictionary:
"Commodity: 4 : a good or service whose wide availability typically leads to smaller profit margins and diminishes the importance of factors (as brand name) other than price."</p>
<p>I rest my case Mr. Dictionary</p>
<p>actually it rings a bell for intro to macroeconomics</p>
<p>And you still haven't learned to read..i said a service can be a product, dependent on context in which it is used. DUH..that is why i posed the question early, and you answered so defensively....it is only a question, come on now. Many words have many different meanings</p>

I think 4-6 are from babson grads.</p>
<p>Although not all grads start businesses out of school. A decent number of finance/ent. combo grads end up in private equity where they are funding or acquiring busineses rather then starting them. The babson alum network is very good if you make use of it. Some of the largest companies in south america/asia/europe are owned by babson grads; common school brand and business network is completely different.</p>
<p>Also ent/marketing combo is also a popular combo and ent/real estate.</p>
