Unique characteristics of India’s Service sector Growth
• The service sector picked up the decline in the share of agriculturein GDP, i.e., from 32 % in 1990 to 17.5 % in 2009, whilemanufacturing sector’s share has remained the same.
• The rising share of services in GDP and trade, has not createdcorresponding rise in the share of employment.– Jobless growth of service sector and no increase in manufacturing raises
doubts about its long run sustainability.
– Some services have grown fast in terms of their share in GDP (e.g., softwareand telecom). Some are only provided by MNCs (Accounting, Managementconsulting) and Some are provided to companies in the developing countries.
– Service content in Manufacturing has increased due to modularization andglobalization.Some argue that Growth of the service sector is simply disguisedmanufacturing activity or book keeping puzzle (Research is manufacturingwhen in-house and a service when outsourced)
• This sector is plagued with Inefficiencies in the Design, Planning and Execution and Project delays, High levels of Corruption and Counterfeit. Radical Change needed since 60% of the GDP is accounted by services

The Five STERM forces• Science research generates new and or improved products• New Technologies (Internet) emerge at a rapid pace• New Engineering materials and designs come out every day• Globalization brings with it new markets, new customers, non-
traditional competitors, and new challenges of followingRegulations and policies of several countries the intermediateproducts visits
• New Management techniques and business models such asoutsourcing, sell direct are invented to face competition and enablegrowth.
• Companies find that their strategies need almost constantredefinition to take advantage of the unanticipated opportunities.Given the government regulations, the investment climate and thevertical space, the company has to tread carefully with rightproducts, services, planning strategies such as location andpartnership decisions and business models to succeed.
October 7,2010 N.Viswanadham 11
Wider Innovation Policy Needed
• Traditional science policy is rooted in a ‘linear model’ : scientific discovery & invention followed by commercialization in the form of new products and processes.
• A Wider innovation Framework should include both the new to the market as well as new to the world innovations
• Innovations in Management (like Outsourcing) and Institutions (Social, Policy ,Regulation and Governance)need to be incorporated
• Innovations due to convergence (Finance with Mobile)as well as co-evolution (Globalization of supply chains) need to be explainable using the frame work
• Science, Technology, Engineering, Regulations & Policy, Management (STERM) contribute to innovations in services and determine the sector’s competitiveness

Smart Village Design Using STERM Framework
• A Smart Village is a bundle of dozens of services delivered effectively to the residents and businesses in an efficient manner. These services could be location specific depending on the demography of the village and occupations of the residents.
• This requires strategy, integrated planning and above all monitoringand execution of the activities using appropriate governancemodels.– Streamlining and redesigning, modularizing and standardizing the
entire value delivery process chains such as electricity, heath care,water
– Enhancing growth of farming and small scale industries– Execute the Schemes such as NREGAS that provide employment for
rural folks using IT and other smart technologies
• Developing and nurturing the smart villages is the best way India can reap the “demographic dividend” i.e. the large and expanding workforce.

Gandhiji's Views on Village Development
• The best, quickest and most efficient way is to build up from the bottom . . . Every village has to become a self-sufficient republic. This does not require brave resolutions. It requires brave, corporate, intelligent work. . . (Harijan, 18-1-1922)
• If we interpret brave as entrepreneurial and risk taking attitude, corporate to mean meeting strategic goals and objectives, intelligent with IT enabled governance models, called smart nowadays, we implement Mahatma’s vision.

India needs to Usher in the Third Service Revolution
• The first service revolution was led by growth in the standard of living and the retail sector.
• The second one was driven by globalization and outsourcing, where the talents are diverted to improve the service and manufacturing sectors in the western countries.
• We need the third service revolution which concentrates on Indian services, manufacturing and agriculture with the following agenda. – Streamline and upgrade the service chains using modern technologies– Strategically deregulate the service sector while encouraging the firms
to co-evolve.– Initiate education, research and entrepreneurial programs in service
sector innovation– Re-innovate manufacturing and agriculture using recent advances in
services– Improve the investment climate for Foreign trade– Plan and Build integrated service systems or systems of systems such
as smart Cities, SEZs, Villages

Traditional Innovation Policy • Traditional science policy is rooted in a ‘linear model’ of
scientific discovery & invention followed by commercialization in the form of new processes and products. – The ‘new-to-the-world’ inventions are characterized as innovations.
• This policy cannot capture several innovations that created bock buster industries
– Containerization, Search engines, Process patent, Deregulation of Telecom & Airlines
– Blockbuster products: Nano, Video Games, Cell phones, Ipads,..
– New Business models: Outsourcing, BPOs, FDI, Sell direct, e-retail, ATMs, Clouds, Orchestration, e-bay, Face book
– New technology solutions to redesign of services (water, power, gas, construction, banks, education) to be intelligent and smart.

Applying STERM Framework to build a Smart City
July16,2010 27N.Viswanadham
The Largest Urban Migration in History
• Each week, nearly one-and-a-half-million people move to cities, almost all in developing markets
• More than 70 million people are crossing the threshold to the middle class each year, all in emerging economies.
• By the end of the decade (2020), roughly 40 % of the world’s population will be middle-class (20% today).
• To tap these new markets, organizations must reinvent business models, innovate new products and services and Build smart cities

Service Chain Ecosystem & The STERM Agenda
• Develop Services systems theory with predictive and governance models for better operations and execution.
• Several services currently studied in silos : Public procurement, construction, Judiciary, Accounting, health care , .. can be streamlined into standardized modules and can be semi-automated or fully automated
• Design and development of better investment climate, Equipping the companies with knowledge of regulatory and social environment and effective governance models for execution would enhance the service quality as well as trade (Currently only IT is the only exported service).

Service Chain
• Organizations such as Smart Villages, Smart Cities, SEZs should be planed in an integrated manner as bundles of services as Grand Challenge Problems• Performance, Risk, Innovation and Governance (Innovating appropriate Governance model is fundamental for project success)need be studied for each service sector.• Develop tools using STERM framework to help nurture emergent service models and define future generations of services.

Recommendation-1• Services cover a wide range of verticals from highly knowledge intensive
R&D and education to highly customer oriented travel. Developing acomplex service systems theory and design drawing from the disciplines ofScience , Technology, Engineering, Institutional Economics & Management,would be a breakthrough contribution. The strong interest in developingthis area is shared among major Service providers and industry leadersthereby giving it an applied focus.
• Most Services suffer from shortages and low quality. Some of the utilitynetworks were built several decades ago. The new designs, technologiesregulations such as climate change and management models available nowshould be used to upgrade existing ones and in building the new ones. Thisapplied focus requires process orientation , modularization, standardization,use of IT and sensor networks. R & D in this area would be highlyremunerative.
• Quality of the services that are being rendered is low and there is almost noperformance measurement. Benchmarking and Governance of the servicesis the most critical aspect of service delivery.
• Several organizations such as DST,CSIR, MIT, Ministry of Finance, Health,Transport, Industry are involved. DST should have a working group in the areaof services and fund research in cooperation with other stake holders
July16,2010 33N.Viswanadham
Recommendation -2• Services require hardware instruments in medical, trucks in logistics,
packaging in retail, etc ; infrastructure (Ports, Roads, Hospitals Buildings) tohouse the services; and networks to cater to the needs of the entire country.These are asset intensive manufacturing and network planning activities needattention.
• Services like tourism, airlines, city and state transport (both for passenger andfreight), shipping are not studied by any research organizations in spite of theirimmense importance to citizens as well as businesses.
• Service Network Planning & Execution: Requirement analysis, planninglocation of the facilities, state regulations, execution using wireless and IT isan applied research area and would be a grand challenge problem.Acquiring the equipment, Building the facilities, manpower training,maintaining records are other challenges. Synchronization of activitiesshould follow assembly line operations. Attracting FIIs under PPP schemewould be a business development challenge.
• Execution and fund allocation rests with the ministries but the initialplanning is a research and development issue where R&D organizations andeducational institutes can participate. ISRO, DRDO are good examples
July16,2010 34N.Viswanadham
18
Recommendation -3
• Two kinds of education is needed in this Service Sector.
• Higher Education (Bachelors, Masters, Management, PhD etc.): These education programs in Service Science started in institutes like IITs, NITs, Medical colleges, law schools and other reputed Universities.
• Vocational Training: Existing training institutes hardly cater to 2% of the requirement and employment exchanges in India is dysfunctional. There is a tremendous need for revamping the system immediately.
• NCHER will be a good model for organizing the services education and research.
July16,2010 35N.Viswanadham
Recommendation -4
• Building facilities for communities
• Services are useful only they are used by the communitiesalong with other services. Coordination of various services isneeded while planning for huge facilities, townships, gatedcommunities, airports etc.
• Support R & D and Entrepreneurial efforts in building smartsystems out of services such as smart villages, Cities, SEZs,etc
July16,2010 36N.Viswanadham
19
Recommendation -5
• A Working group under SACPM with members fromAcademia, R& D and Industry should prepare a report on therecommendations on the service sector.
• National Commission for Service Sector must be formed alongthe lines of manufacturing and agricultural sectors to planeducation and research in the services sector drawingmembers from various ministries like finance, humanresources, science and technology, communication,agriculture, industries, retail, tourism etc
July16,2010 37N.Viswanadham
Strategic Growth Plans for Indian Service sector
• Perception of the quality of the services by the users is poor.– This sector is plagued with Inefficiencies in the Design, Planning and
Execution and Project delays, High levels of Corruption and Counterfeit.
– Radical Change needed since 60% of the GDP is accounted by services.
• India needs to usher the Third Service Revolution• A strategic vision for the service sector,
• Streamline and upgrade the service chains using modern technologies,
• Initiate education, research and entrepreneurial programs in service sector innovation
• Plan and Build integrated service systems such as smart Cities, SEZs, Villages
• A National Commission for Services should be set up along the lines of similar organizations in Manufacturing & Agriculture to oversee the above activities.
