Leading trends in the services sector: peculiarities, trends, and global perspectives

Abstract

Our paper tackles the issues of the leading trends and perspectives in the world's sector of services. Our globalised and interconnected economy is slowly but gradually turning away from the industrial production and agriculture towards the sector of services. The rise of Internet, information technologies, and smartphones that employ both of the above also contributed to this trend. We discuss the implications, peculiarities, trends, as well as global perspectives for the sector of services in the 21 st century and draw some outcomes for the stakeholders in charge of the labour market and the development of the economy. Our results and findings clearly demonstrate that global services sector is growing and changing, and these new changes need to be acknowledged, monitored, and promptly captured by all the parties involved. In order to stay competitive in the global information-driven world, one needs to adapt to the new rules and open up her or his mind to the novel approaches and trends.
