Abstract: A number of the major research and policy questions concerning the role of producer services in development are addressed. Specifically the authors explore the needs-demand gap; the internalisation — externalisation decision; gaps in regional producer services, and their implications for manufacturing competitiveness; the potential for the autonomous growth of producer service firms; and the roles of the public and private sectors in service provision.
