Abstract
For the past three years the world economy has suffered a recession. I n contrast to earlier global, as well as national, recessions when man ufacturing industries were most vulnerable, business services have bee n significantly affected. Not surprisingly, this has revived old doubt s about the role of services in modern economies. The papers in this s ection re-examine the problematics associated with the efficiency and productivity of service organisations. Even if the social division of labour is a strong argument to support the growth of service industrie s, attempts to understand better the connection between service firm l ocation and different ways of internally organising and coordinating p roduction might be one useful direction for future research.
