I. International statistical caliber

The international business service industry usually adopts the concept of big business, including not only the business service industry in China's statistical sense, but also computer and software services, scientific research and technical services. For example, business services in OECD countries are also called industrial services or enterprise services, including computer software and information services, research and development and technical inspection services, business organization services (including management consulting and employment services) and human resources development services. The commercial services of NAICS mainly include legal services, accounting services, architectural and engineering services, computer system design and related services, management and technical consulting services and enterprise management.

Second, the statistical caliber of China.

China's statistical service industry basically adopts the concept of small enterprises. According to the National Economic Industry Classification Standard (GB/T4754-2002) issued in 2002, the business service industry (including leasing industry) mainly includes ten aspects: leasing industry, enterprise management service, legal service, consultation and investigation, advertising, intellectual property service, professional intermediary service, market management, travel agency, exhibition and other business services.

Third, the relationship between sub-industries within the commercial service industry.

There are many kinds of business services, and emerging industries are constantly emerging. Concepts such as "intermediary" and "consulting service" are often used to refer to the business service industry in domestic related documents, which has caused a lot of confusion in the definition and use of the industry. In foreign countries, what is equivalent to our so-called intermediary concept is specialized occupation, or professional services, most of which are certified and licensed by government guidance or industry associations. At the same time, in China's current business service statistics, professional services account for a high proportion, at least above 60%, which is representative.
