Description
Globalisation is a major trend for today's organisations. The services sector is also undoubtedly becoming increasingly international in scope. Accelerated by a desire for growth and profit, incentives provided by the host governments, and a freer flow of capital throughout the world, service firms have discovered that their future survival and growth depend upon extending their services around the world. Globalization has also considerably affected the production, ownership and trade of service activities. This e-book was designed to incorporate both conceptual and empirical research into the internationalization of firms in the service sector and to contribute further to the body of knowledge about internationalization issues in service industries.
