Abstract
This study investigates the impact of the service sector digitalization on the upstream positioning of manufacturing industries within the Global Value Chains (GVCs). The empirical analysis is conducted using the data from 65 countries (regions) and 17 manufacturing sectors during the period 2000–2018. The findings suggest that the digitalization of service sector contributes to the upward evolution of manufacturing industries within the GVCs by stimulating technological innovation among manufacturing firms. This effect is more pronounced in labor-intensive manufacturing industries, peripheral countries, and the “snake-type” GVC pattern. The robustness of the findings is confirmed by a series of tests, including an examination of the endogeneity issue.
期刊介绍：
Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
