发达经济体的制造业面临巨大压力。中东和远东的新兴经济体已经失去了大片的工业部门。评论家们主张发达经济体的制造业公司应采取对策,向价值链上游移动,寻求创新和创造更先进的产品和服务,这样它们就不必仅仅在成本的基础上进行竞争(Porter and Ketels,2003)。虽然这一战略越来越受到决策者和学术界的欢迎,但探索这一战略是否在实践中得到采用的经验证据有限。如果是这样的话,这种制造业的“服务化”可能会产生什么影响。本文试图填补文献中的空白,提出国际经验证据的范围和程度的服务。数据来自OSIRIS数据库,涉及23个不同国家的10,078家公司。本文对这些数据进行了初步分析,结果表明:[1]各国在制造业服务化程度方面存在显著差异--服务化在美国最普遍,在中国最不普遍;[ii]制造业公司采用12种不同的服务提供形式,[iii]有证据表明,较大的公司,从员工数量和营业额两个方面衡量,更有可能服务。显然,鉴于本文所依据的数据集的丰富性,进一步的工作既可行又可取。
Manufacturing in developed economies is under massive pressure. Swaths of industrial sectors have been lost to the emerging economies in the Middle and Far East. Commentators have advocated that manufacturing firms in developed economies should respond by moving up the value chain, seeking to innovate and create more sophisticated products and services so that they do not have to compete on the basis of cost alone (Porter and Ketels, 2003). While this strategy is proving increasingly popular with policy makers and academics there is limited empirical evidence exploring whether it is being adopted in practice. And if so, what the impact of this “servitization” of manufacturing might be. This paper seeks to fill a gap in the literature by presenting international empirical evidence on the range and extent of servitization. Data are drawn from the OSIRIS database on 10,078 firms incorporated in 23 different countries. The paper presents an initial analysis of these data which suggests that: [i] there are significant differences between countries in terms of the extent to which manufacturing has servitized – servitization is most prevalent in the US and least prevalent in China; [ii] there are twelve different forms of service offering that manufacturing firms adopt and [iii] there is evidence that larger firms, measured both in terms of number of employees and turnover, are more likely to servitize. Clearly, given the richness of the data set on which this paper is based, further work is both feasible and desirable.
