This book examines the way in which the increasing
internationalization of services, including the operation of
multinationals in this sector, interacts with the process of
innovation in services. The book challenges the theoretical
traditions that have developed around the analysis of service
innovation and internationalization, and argues for a new research
agenda. The distinguished contributors address many of the most
pertinent issues and adopt a variety of theoretical and empirical
approaches to enrich the debates. In contrast to most other books
on this topic, this volume pays particular attention to services
that are knowledge or technology intensive. It elucidates the
process of internationalization of such services (through trade and
FDI) and stresses the important role it plays in the globalization
of production, distribution and innovation. The book also
highlights the significant implications service
internationalization can have for the competitiveness of firms,
regions and countries. The authors thoroughly evaluate trade and
investment statistics in order to identify different modes of
internationalization and the substantial cross-national differences
that this reveals. They move on to examine the organizational
structure of multinationals, the new international division of
labour and the factors which can influence the location decisions
of knowledge-intensive services. Using extensive survey data from a
variety of different countries, they accurately identify the
trends, characteristics and drivers which have acted as a catalyst
for the increasing internationalization of knowledge-intensive
services, as well as the obstacles which can hinder this process.
Adopting a truly global perspective, this significant new volume
will be of considerable interest to students, scholars and
policymakers in the fields of international business, innovation
and management.
