ACIS-SS 2012

The First International Workshop on Service Sciences (ACIS-SS 2012) December 6-8, 2012 Siem Reap, Cambodia http://www.rupp.edu.kh/acis2012/ Nowadays a paradigm shift occurs in global economy from technology-based to knowledge-based one. Amid this transition, the service sector has had an annual growth rate of 30% in primary developing economies of several Asian countries, including Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. The remarkable growth of the service economy is driven not only by traditional service businesses but also by manufacturing and high-tech sectors.
