Abstract:
This paper reviews the available information about important service economy sector criteria such
as world trade, organizational accelerated development, activity based management improvement, activity
based management improvement system, employment, productivity, activity based management, etc. in an
international scale. Recognizing the importance of activity based management improvement system in
achieving flexibility in an international context expands the types of research questions related to the role
of activity based management improvement system functions in organizational performance, such as
selection of activity based management improvement resources, training, and compensation and
performance appraisal. The form and structure of an organization's activity based management
improvement system can affect organizational accelerated development motivation levels in several ways.
Organizations can adopt various activity based management improvement practices to enhance
organizational accelerated development. The end of this paper is able to find out how important the
organizational accelerated development is, comparing with other economy sectors and how fast the growth
of the mentioned sector is. Furthermore, the position of activity based management and productivity in the
service sector will be specified and the use of activity based management improvement techniques for
improving service activity based management will become necessary.
