Integration and Diffusion of KIS for Industry Performance

Chapter 7 in Business Services in European Economic Growth, 2007, pp 128-143 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The relative importance of business services is growing intensively, in terms of both production and employment. The main explanation for this trend is based on the changes brought about by the so-called ‘Knowledge-based economy’ (Archibugi and Lundvall, 2001; Rodrigues, 2002): economic agents and especially firms are involved in an environment that is increasingly changing and where knowledge has become the ‘key asset’. Within this context, business services, and more concretely knowledge-intensive services (KIS), play a critical role.
