Study the following case study and

answer question 16.
A company offers both commercial and
direct services to its customers. The
commercial services involve bulk orders
for businesses looking to purchase
products in large quantities. These
orders are typically delivered in batches
and require coordination with various
suppliers to fulfil the request. On the
other hand, the direct services cater to
individual customers who prefer smaller
quantities of products for personal use.
These orders are usually processed
quickly and delivered directly to the
customer's doorstep within a short
timeframe.

16 The business stated above is

involved in the provision of both direct
and commercial services. Explain and
justify the differences between the
provision of a direct and a
commercial service. You may use
examples from the case study.

labour allows each employee to become
highly proficient in their assigned task,
