Verflechtungen zwischen Industrie und unternehmensorientierten Dienstleistungen – eine empirische Analyse für das Rheinland
As projected by the “Three-Sector Hypothesis” structural change in highly developed countries is characterized by an increasing importance of the tertiary sector at the expense of the secondary sector. This change can be explained by the structural expansion of production oriented services. The paper analyzes the kind of cooperation and the linkages of service industries and manufacturing branches using the results of a firm survey carried out in parts of the German Rhineland. One result is that especially knowledge intensive services help to broaden the regions’ export-base and thus foster regional economic development. Furthermore the results of the survey show that service industries and manufacturing industries are highly and mutually linked to each other. In doing so the manufacturing industries demand highly specialized services; vice versa the service industries give innovative impulses helping to increase the competitive capability of industrial firms. There are clear hints that the meaning of manufacturing industry in this network is higher than some empirical analyses can show. Regions might be well advised, therefore, not to neglect the locational requirements of manufacturing industries.
