Over the past century, science and technology have been successfully applied to innovation in the industrial sector of the economy. The services sector comprises between 70 - 80% of the GDP and jobs in advanced economies around the world. Advances in information technologies have enabled us to bring significant innovation to services and services industries. The seminar will explore the differences between "classic" industrial sector innovation and innovation in the services economy. We will illustrate the nature of services innovation with concrete examples across a variety of industries.
