Producer services, which are used as intermediate inputs for the production of other goods or services, have important economic functions and implications. However, it is difficult to identify producer services from the already existing service sector classification. So, in order to overcome the analytical obstacles, and according to the intrinsic sense of producer services, but not from the perspective of specific service sectors, this paper employs the input-output method to conduct an empirical study of the growth and structural changes of China's producer services as well as their influences on China's economy and industries. Some conclusions and policy implications are drawn.

The low margin age is coming to the logisticsservice industry in China. How to re-engineer enterprise's competitive advantage in this low margin age becomes a most concerned topic for the logisticsservice providers in China. In this paper, we point out that the detail service is one of the new competitive advantages for the Chinese logisticsservice providers. The concept of "detail service" and its importance are expounded. We provide a four phases mechanism for re-engineeing the logisticsservice providers' competitive advantage based on the detail service. For the further research on the relationship between the logistics detail service and the competitive advantage, a survey is realized. The result shows that detail service is accepted by most people working in the logistics industry. This paper also discusses how to execute the detail service from the four important aspects (the operational resources, the customers, the external environment and the human resources). The framework of detail service innovation is also provided. Finally, the conclusion is summarized and some further research directions are suggested.

Evaluation of the Customer Perceived service Quality in a quantifying is the most important part of the service management literature. Over the past decade, SERVQUAL instrument has emerged as perhaps the most popular standardized questionnaire to measure service quality. This paper starts with elaborating the great significance to carry out this instrument in Chinese educational institutions. Based on the brief introduction and related review of SERVQUAIL instrument, criteria of it are re-designed in order to be suitable to evaluate the service quality of Chinese higher education. Moreover, the data obtained from the utilization of it are analyzed and then applied in a more effective, comprehensive way. As a result, a new quantifying is provided.

The impacts of the extra- and intra-institution elements on transaction costs of logistics firms are analyzed by the firm theories in neo-institutional economics. And the methods of economizing the costs in order to increase benefits of logistics firms are discussed in this paper. After the firm theories in neo-institutional economics are summarized, the economic reasons for the existence of logistics firms are explained by transaction costs theory. The analyzing model is put forward for discussing the factors influencing logistics enterprises. The allocation of the departments in the logistics firms is specified from following aspects: transaction costs, the regulation, the production factor market, and credit institutions. The effects of taxation system, information technology with its related policies, investing and financial institutions on transaction costs of logistics firms are analyzed in the paper. Some propositions are presented for authorities and logistics firms. Applying the theories to analyzing the logistics firms is very effective for management improvement and benefits increase.

Convenience stores in Taiwan have had remarkable successes with retailing delivery services by integrating e-Commerce and logistics systems to form a new retail delivery model: "On-tine shopping with pick-ups at convenience stores." Though ingenious, intensified competition and increasingly complex customer behavior, it has become increasingly difficult for marketing practitioners to maintain customer loyalty. To help solve this problem, this study explores the relationships between the service quality and switching cost on choice behavior using a catastrophe model. It also applies GENICAT It to actual market data to demonstrate the model's use in choice behavior. The present analysis shows that, service quality and switching cost are the two major factors that influence choice behavior, and that a catastrophe phenomenon can occur with a high switching cost.

It has been said that the world of economy, sales, management, delivery, production, planning, market research, and strategy is closely related with service, which is not yet studied deeply in a sense of science. Because it is so huge to cover those areas together and also it is so complex to treat so many areas together. And because they consist of many parts with the parts having many common and differentiating factors while exhibiting characteristics of dependence as well as independence with added complications of having to deal with a changing environment and the consequent changes in their spatial and temporal arrangements. This makes it the most difficult to represent and to treat those using conventional techniques of description and thoughts. So in order to give clues of solving those problems by "service" mentioned above, here introduces a new idea of HOLON that is able to represent huge and complex systems clearly and precisely in order that they can be designed and controlled intelligently and flexibly in a sense of service Science.

logistics system, being one of the most important sectors that offer substantial supports to national economy, its reliability and stability has a direct impact on the healthy development of national economy. With demand of modern integrated logisticsservice upgraded, the traditional chain-like structure of logistics system is being developed into a networked one. Taking the perspective of logisticsservice, the research conducts a deep analysis on the connotation of logistics network service and the basic structure of logistics network based on service relationship. Then the reliability of service provider/demander of logistics network is calculated. The research puts an emphasis on calculation of integrated logisticsservice reliability offered by logistics network with network-optimizing functions to fulfill optimal allocation of resources and concludes with some research suggestions.

This paper examines the usage of third party logisticsservices in China. Foci was made on four constructs that we believe are the primary determinants of the future usage of third party logisticsservice. These constructs are: extent of use of the third party logisticsservices in the manufacturing and the trading enterprises;decision making process for choosing a contract logisticsservices provider;impact on the usage of contract logisticsservices on the organization;and different types of demands in different industries. An empirical research was carried out to study the impact of these four factors on the future usage of third party logisticsservices. Results based on the analysis of data relating to 156 firms in China indicate that the extent of use of the third party logisticsservices between manufacturing enterprises and trading enterprises differ greatly. Most of these users are satisfied with the services providers and have largely seen positive developments within the organization. With a high current level of satisfaction, most firms surveyed indicated a moderate to substantial increase in usage of their services.

As the development of industrial clusters, relevant firms has been promoted to gathering. Consequently, plenty of logistic operations emerged along the supply chain, where raw materials and finished products flow in and out of the clusters frequently. Thus, the operation of logisticsservice may restrict the industrial clusters' radiation effects to a great extent. It is significantly important to establish an effective and low-cost logisticsservice system to improve the competitive advantage of industrial clusters. In this article, five typical logisticsservice models of industrial clusters were presented, based on the research in Zhejiang Province.
