Recent sophistication of industrial structure has often been characterized by the "service industry" gaining more importance; however, this is not an adequate term, because it means nothing but an industry that does not produce goods. It should rather be subdivided in terms of processes and products to provide and acceptable concept for description of the modern innovation. Transportation that simply moves goods and people, and wholesale, retail and real estate businesses that combine products with consumers, form an auxiliary sector for productions, and are not characteristic of the service-oriented society. The service industry in a narrower sense excluding them are further divided into the service industry which directly affects people as service consumers and the knowledge industry which produces knowledge from knowledge. The growth of the former is led by demand increased by higher income and lower labor productivity rather than by innovative technologies. It is the latter, including R&D and software industry, which promotes modern development of industrial structure, based on microelectronics and other innovations. It will be useful to conceive a knowledge industry in a wider sense that include communication that transports knowledge and publishing which produces knowledge-based products.
