Abstract: Abstract Every new discipline comes into being and flourishes under a special historical background and shoulders its unique historical mission in different phases of human society. The era of service economy is a milestone in the development of the human society, and it entails the instructions of corresponding emerging subjects in this new phase of social development; service economy itself lays the essential foundations for the development of emerging subjects. Such special background gives rise to the Service Science. Particularly, there has been a constantly intensifying trend of global economic integration with the development of internet economy, resulting in the unprecedented information communication among various countries. Governments, academia, and business of different countries have been aware of the development trend of the history and collaborate to promote the new discipline of Services Science. However, Service Science is bound to encounter numerous challenges in its initial phase due to its brief history.
