From these only three are particular in the service field, encompassing: (a) Capital Service, (b) NBC, and (c) data Service. On the other hand, the constructing commerce is split up into nine distinct segments, some of which will be cited later. Although it is not our major anxiety, the constructing segment of GE can be utilised as the yardstick for the achievement of the service industry. This is so because this part of General electric powered has been extremely thriving and very well established during the past couple of years. Almost $40,000 million in income and nearly $9,110 million in earnings came this year from constructing operations.5 We understand that what we have accomplished in manufacturing is success. So the inquiry that arises is why should we stop buying into in achievement" and go in a completely different field. The first assess which we are going to investigate in this part of the discussion attempts to response that question. MIEC, the constructing industry costs evaluation, compares the amount of cash expended for the service commerce to the costs made for the constructing industry. Thus it is identical to:

                 Expenses made for the service industry

        MIEC = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------...         Expenses made for the manufacturing industry

        Therefore, according to the financial declarations of the preceding years we would have6:

MIEC 1992 = 15842/29991= 0.52

MIEC 1993 = 18560/30657= 0.60

MIEC 1994 = 19787/30890= 0.64

MIEC 1995 = 26156/33152= 0.78

        By setting up the MIEC, we can glimpse the connection between the amount of cash expended on service and the amount of cash expended on manufacturing. MIEC is a simple number that is does not seem to have a very significant use on its one. However, if this ratio is combined with other details we can arrive to several deductions about what the company¹s future decisions should be. For demonstration, if we combine MIEC with the come back on assets,7 we can glimpse that the return on assets is higher for the service commerce than it is for the constructing industry, and therefore are adept to infer that a good conclusion would be to boost the ratio by spending more money on the service industry. On the other hand, if the come back on assets is lower for the service industry than it is for the manufacturing segment, then we should decrease this ratio by investing more in the latter. Whead covering we want to create by using this assess is some sort of equilibrium between the two major parts of our corporation. Mr. Welch has lately said that he would have desired for the percentage of profit coming from the service commerce to have attained a staggering 80% instead of 60%, today¹s figure.8 In alignment to accomplish this, we should invest more in the service commerce, thereby expanding the MIEC ratio.

        The inquiry for the future would be: by how much should we boost this ratio? From what we have said up to this issue, we should adapt the MIEC ratio up ...
