2 Contents: What is the new service economy Macro dynamics in services: some empirical evidence New challenges for services and the role of service innovation Linkages between service innovation and organisational innovation Some horizons for services research and policy

3 The new service economy: What is really new? Beyond some new services, are we in a new service economy? Services traits which are not new Many services coming from an old tradition Services already integrated in goods and material support for services Services traits which are new New integration in any economic and social activity: more intensive and uniform use of services all over the world? New challenges? October 2008 Karlsruhe New room for innovation, organizational innovation?

14 How to assess the place and impacts of service innovation at macro level? Needs: Better definition of service innovation, service employment, service productivity, service quality, service price; the new knowledge, how to make it operational Identification of linkages between services innovation and service productivity, how to approach it? Service innovation at the roots of growth convergence, how to capture service endogenous growth?

15 New challenges for the service economy the performance dimension Globalisation and service offshoring Management of risk and uncertainty Role of services in manufacturing Service engineering and service formalization Competition and deregulation Role of ICT

16 New challenges for the service economy: the social dimension New skills requested Unemployment and social exclusion Sustainable development Ageing population Regional asymmetries Transformations in public services

17 New challenges for the service economy: the ways to face to Service innovation as a way to face all the challenges? What role? What assessment? Organizational innovation as a part of service innovation? Product and process innovation in services Organizational and non-tech innovation in services Organizational and non-tech innovation in non-services activities Marketing innovation

18 Service innovation (SI) and organizational innovation (OI) Common nature: intangible nature, interactive nature,. Unclear boundaries: what SI is or is not OI e.g, use of KIBS, Interface innovation, service formalization, service combination or fragmentation, ad hoc innovations Bilateral causality and synergies More services, more SI, more OI More OI, more SI, more services

22 Some horizons for the service & organizational innovation research Conceptual frameworks, measurement, Impact assessment Relationship SI and OI Understanding of SI and OI in a macro context Macro and micro, economic challenges and business challenges, bridges in between

23 New horizons for the service research Services are not just a sector any more: a dimension of the economy, of product, of work (co-creation), of life (experience) Need of ambitious agendas for services research. Multidisciplinary approaches needed. Service Science?

24 Thank you for your attention

25 New challenges for the policy makers No reason for the exclusion of services from current public policies Need to take the best from existing good practices: the case of Germany Need to assess the needs of different regions and countries Services innovation as a key pivotal dimension of most action
