Abstract

Most large firms contract or use business services as part of an international strategy. New technologies and liberalization of trade and investment allow their business-services provision from remote locations, thereby contributing to the globalization process. Some business services follow the clients and/or generate cross-border trade while others set up foreign subsidiaries. It is a dynamic process with repercussions on employment and value added, international trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), and service-related intangibles. Business services also play an active role in the internationalization of other sectors.
