A Pragmatic Service Typology – Capturing the Distinctive Dynamics of Services in Time and Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
The service sector is extraordinarily heterogeneous. Since existing service classifications provide useful yet partial perspectives on this diversity, this paper reconciles and integrates distinct service taxonomies into a coherent and pragmatic typology which follows three dimensions: demand orientation, knowledge-intensity and technology-intensity. A regional analysis of services employment in Germany captures the distinctive regional dynamics. Knowledge intensive services and business services are shown to follow different sectoral and geographical dynamics than operational and consumer services. In effect, our typology integrates partial classifications into a pragmatic service taxonomy which may be helpful for longitudinal and comparative regional analysis of the service economy.
