ABSTRACT: The
current classified researches on the modern service industries are mainly based
on the state statistical standards and for the practical consideration. However,
these researches which based on qualitative analysis and experience are not
enough for the further study of the industrial development and internal
structure relationship of the modern service industries. By further definiting
the connotation and characteristics of the modern service industries, this paper
selects the quantitative indexes reflecting the development of the modern
service industries and adopts cluster analysis to make a quantitative research
on the classification of the modern service industries from the position of the
academic research and the perspective of the development of the industry
internal structure, hoping to lay some foundation for the further theoretical
studies of modern service industries.
