The Center for Services Management located at Tashkent State University of Economics serves academics, business organizations, and public policy that focuses on developing services industries. Currently, the Center for Services Management is a collaboration of academics from Tashkent State University of Economics (Dr. Aziz Bobojonov), Silk Road University (Dr. Farhoud Tursunov), and the University of South Carolina (Dr. Mark Rosenbaum).
For nearly 1,000 years, Uzbekistan was a hub of commerce on the famed Silk Road. The country welcomed travelers as they sojourned along the lands stretching from Europe to Asia. Great cities such as Tashkent, Samarkand, and Bukhara were built on the country’s ability to provide travelers with high quality services. Silk Road Service was known throughout the world of being welcoming to all visitors. The Center for Services Management is dedicated to reviving Uzbekistan’s role in service industries and to promoting research, consulting, and educational services and the development of service systems throughout Central Asia. #silkroadservice is our commitment to fostering Uzbekistan’s contemporary service economy. The future of Central Asia economies depends on the development of service industries and we must work together to build the next generation of service managers, researchers, and leaders.
