"The Changing Nature of Innovation in a Services Economy"
The services sector currently represents over 75 percent of the U.S.
economy and is growing rapidly as companies seize new business
opportunities by building more efficient IT systems, streamlining
business processes and embracing the Internet. At IBM alone, services
now account for about 50 percent of the company's revenue.
"We clearly need to develop a more systematic approach to services
innovation if we are to sustain this vital new sector in the
economy. It
is critical that we work with universities to create curricula that
provide students entering the workforce with skills and training
needed
for growing our services business."

Dr. John King, Dean of the School of Information
