Conference Aim and Objective
Over the years, we have witnessed the growing market and rising dominance of services to the global economy. The rapid advance of technology allows firms to export their knowledge, creativity, and innovations into global markets and provide services that are previously available only to local customers. The remarkable growth of service economy is derived not only from traditional service industries, but also from manufacturing and technology industries that have recognized the need to provide revenue-generating quality services in order to compete in the world. The competition keeps intensifying swiftly as the challengers from developing economies such Brazil, China, India, and Russia in which services are growing at 30% per year. Breaking down the boundary of industrial sectors and geographical regions, companies nowadays are competing with their rivals on everything around the globe. How would the development of service science help these companies compete in this new era? In light of these trends, the first ICSSI will serve as a forum that allows researchers and practitioners from different fields to meet with each other for intellectual exchanges, research collaborations, and professional development.
