Government policies and services: an approach to the international context

The Service Industries Journal, 2008, vol. 30, issue 1, 1-10

Abstract: This special issue analyses the relationship between services and industrial policy. Such a relationship covers a wide variety of aspects, going from measures designed to ensure the competential framework within which business activities are carried out, up to actions aimed at enabling structural change in service industries, with the incorporation of innovation as the essential factor for competitiveness. Two trends can currently be discerned. On the one hand, there is a growing tendency towards the decentralisation and specificity of public policy related to service industries. On the other, indirect actions aimed at strengthening the institutional context (technological infrastructures, consultancy services, etc.) in which productive activity occurs are presently receiving a good deal of attention from policy makers.
