Most of the large economies in the world are already dominated by services. Developed countries are now also becoming information economies; the US is a case in point. The confluence of these trends means that information services are the largest part of the US and other developed economies, with others close behind. This evolution is being accompanied by a revolution: the rapid industrialization of information services. These developments have manifold consequences for the economy as a whole, as well as for productivity, trade, jobs, globalization and competition. At the sector level, many...

There are two major trends visible in economies all over the world. The first trend, far along in developed countries, is the shift to a service economy. The second, also quite advanced in some countries but barely visible in others, is the shift to an information economy.

The U.S. Information Economy: Value, Employment, Industry Structure, and Trade explores the confluence of two events -- large economies in the world being dominated by services and a change from a material or physical economy to an information economy -- by examining the double dichotomy of products versus services and information versus material, which divides the economy into four supersectors. This transformation to information and information-intensive services has a wide array of consequences. The authors examine some of these consequences to indicate the substantial implications for...

This book presents latest research on the evolution of consumer services, as these services continue to become a larger part of the economy in the world. Four core focal points lead the central message of the book: first, the convergence of back and front offices; second, placing the client as a fundamental input of services production and delivery process, and 'industrializing' the customers' role to combine efficiency and experience; third, the constitution and role of inputs necessary for the configuration, production and delivery of the service, with the crucial role of...
