Universities to Push for Money and Help Entrepreneurship in Europe
The report encourages universities to offer courses in service science, management, and engineering and urges governments to provide more funds for research.
The University of Cambridge and IBM released a report Monday that calls for doubling funds for service education and research to generate prosperity and increase global competitiveness. The report, "Succeeding through Service Innovation," consists of contributions from more than 100 academics and business leaders around the globe.
The report states that transportation, communications, and health care account for most of the economy, but those sectors fail to gain support equal to levels in manufacturing and technology research. While service systems have increased in scale and complexity, management of service networks of people, technology, and institutions has lagged behind, the report found.
Service jobs outnumbered agricultural and manufacturing jobs around the globe for the first time in 2007, according to the United Nation's International Labour Organization.
The service sector accounts for more than 80% of the U.S. gross domestic product. But a report from RTI International states that R&D investment in services in developed countries generally accounts for less than one-third of R&D spending.
