Post-Print from HAL

Abstract: This paper is divided into three parts. The first is given over to a summary of the economic debate on the nature of knowledge and on the distinction between information, knowledge and competences. In Section 2, we examine the basic mechanisms of knowledge processing and production, firstly within the general framework of learning cycles or spirals and then more specifically in the context of KIBS transactions. In Section 3, we seek to mark out the boundary and establish the nature of the links between these modes of knowledge processing and innovation in and through the use of KIBS.
