The Challenge of Services in the 21st Century: Opportunities for
Education and Business
Services Science Management and Engineering
SSME Workshop
In the United States and the United Kingdom services account for 75% of
labour force activity. Service occupations, service activities and
service relationships have risen to the fore across all sectors of
economic activity.
The concept of Service Science continues to gather momentum, driven by
global economic change and the growth in the importance of "services". A
critical element of Service Science is the changing shape of the
academic curriculum that will be required to provide businesses with
the best graduates.
Work has been progressing in both academia and industry. The time is
now right to bring the whole community together and agree the way
forward. The goal of this workshop is to raise awareness of the need
for educators to respond to the challenge of growing services economy
and to stimulate business to become involved in the development and
delivery of curricula.
