Abstract: Industry and firm-level research into both innovation and productivity has long been limited to manufacturing. In this article we aim to contribute to the stream of literature that seeks to extend the scope of such investigations to the services sector. To this end we analyse the innovation strategies in several service sectors in Poland in 2006--08 and examine their relationship to productivity. Our results show that service firms differ considerably in their innovation strategies, but that most of those strategies lead to productivity gains.
