Sector covered in the first phase 2002/03:
Other Business Services
Services enterprises attributed to "other business
services" (NACE Rev. 1 74) cover a wide range of activities. On the
3-digit-level there are eight sub-groups, on the 4-digit-level the number
of sub-groups rises to 15. Activities covered in this sector

Miscellaneous business activities not else classified
(for example: photographic activities, packaging activities, secretarial
and translation activities) |
Common characteristics of all these sub-sectors are
- the low degree of final demand which comes from private households
- the dominance of small and medium sized enterprises in each of these
business service industries
- and the high importance of national or even regional markets for most
of these enterprises, as compared to the global markets in most manufacturing
industries.
E-business activities may have a severe impact especially
on those other business industries where information gathering, processing
and dissemination is a fundamental part of the overall service production
process. In these fields, e-business applications facilitate the creation
of international business services markets and - probably - will therefore
heavily affect the future size structure of enterprises in these industries.
