New service economy is an economy that is based on knowledge, services and communications between people. This is an economy where there are relatively few manufacturing jobs, and most people work in the service industry in some capacity. The new service economy reflects the dominance of this type of industry in our economy. This newfound dominance of the service economy has an impact on our ability to have a sustainable environmental management approach.
Sound environmental management practice implies the prevention of environmental catastrophe and the strong stewardship of the environment, within the context of a functioning, growing economy. In part, the new service economy facilitates a higher level of environmental stewardship inherently, because most people earn their living without producing very much in the way of physical goods. People trade on knowledge, experience and skills, things that do not cause much waste.
These new knowledge industries can play a strong role in preventative environmental management, in particular when the focus is on innovation. Finding ways to do things differently is one of the most powerful applications of knowledge. If the information that we have can be turned into usable knowledge by the knowledge workers within the new service...
For example, engineering is a service whereby an engineer instead of building something (using resources) can instead re-design something that already exists so that not only does it create value by using markedly fewer resources, it can function at a higher level of efficiency in the future, then the new service economy would have reduced waste, benefitting the environment.
Government can facilitate the new service economy in this task. Government has the ability, with laws and with taxes, to create incentives for investment in particular areas. Thus, governments have the power to create incentives to invest in knowledge industries. More importantly, these incentives can be tailored towards specific industries. An example of this would be tax breaks given to firms engaged in research, creating incentives to develop new products or new processes. The government can measure the impacts of its policy on specific deductions taken, or simply on the number of new patent applications that are filed, indicating successful innovation.
There are obstacles, however, to government setting policy in a manner that encourages growth of the new service economy. The main obstacle is…
New Dictionary of Global Literacy (2002) a global economy is the international spread of capitalism, and capitalism-based economic system, especially in recent decades, across national boundaries and with minimal restrictions by governments.

In fact, the developed world is moving very rapidly towards a greater service economy -- how can this engender a perception that these organizations are intangible and produce nothing? In fact, their model, "service," becomes even more necessary because certain process technologies remain aloof from adapting to stakeholder inputs. However, like the goal to find a unified field theory of physics to explain the universe, the unified services theory
New Pattern of Integration Through Governmental Coordination: European Perspective The beginning of the European Union was with the coalition of six nations (namely France, Germany, Italia, Belgium, Holland, and Luxembourg) who entered into a treaty back in the year 1951 to determine the ECU Coal and Steel Community. The next signed treaty was in the year 1957 to determine the ECU Economic Community. The Coal and Steel Community were also built

The regulatory settings in (say) 2000 would not have contemplated the government becoming the major shareholder in Air New Zealand or buying back the railway tracks; so if they had been bound into the GATT, the government would not have been able to step back in" (Conway, 2005, p. 15). The CTU's official position on these issues is as follows: 1. The CTU does not oppose international trade; 2. The CTU does
