SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book contributes toward a better theoretical understanding of innovation in the US service sector by focusing specifically on the disparate nature and role of R & D in the service sector compared to the manufacturing sector. Based on this understanding of the nature and scope of R & D in the service sector - and taking as given that R & D is a critical input to the innovation process and innovation drives economic growth - the book illustrates a theoretical model of service-sector innovation and compares and contrasts it to the traditional theoretical model of manufacturing innovation."--Jacket.
