Abstract

Services in Global Competition project examined the internationalization of service companies and service functions. This brief presents the main findings of this project based on three distinct perspectives. The first involves a comparison of Finland’s foreign trade in services with that of other countries. The second focuses on the relocation of service functions between countries and the international intermediate service trade. The third delves into service company acquisitions and their impact.
