Conclusion: The Central Role of Services in the Greening of the Economy (Andrew Jones, Patrik Strmo, Brita Hermelin and Grete Rusten) -- .Services and the Green Economy addresses a significant gap in the knowledge and understanding of sustainable economic development. Bringing together a range of expert contributions the book analyses the role of services and service industries in the transition to a greener economy. Framed by an approach within environmental economic geography, chapters written by leading researchers from a range of disciplines explore how service industries, service firms and service activities are at heart of green economic processes. Adopting a global perspective, it includes research from the US, Europe, South America and Japan, providing a detailed insight into how the crucial role of service industry activity has often been ignored in current understandings of a green economic transition.BusinessManagement scienceIndustrial management—Environmental aspectsBusiness and Management, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/500000Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, multidisciplinaryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/A11007Sustainability Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515040Business.Management science.Industrial management—Environmental aspects.Business and Management, general.Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, multidisciplinary.Sustainability Management.650Jones Andrewedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtStröm Patrikedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHermelin Britaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtRusten Greteedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910254945103321Services and the Green Economy2184113UNINA
