Abstract :
ldquoData Surface Miningrdquo was applied in a further analysis of previously published data on ldquoThe World´s 50 Most Innovative Companiesrdquo and ldquoThe Best Fifty Performersrdquo to ascertain the relative presence of the Goods and Services Sectors and the overlap of the two data sets. Earlier data sets, previously analyzed, were examined to determine the persistence of listed companies. In addition, the issues of technology management in the Services Sector, an academically neglected area, are examined.
