| Bibliography: | This book focuses on the development of Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS) and the associated market characteristics and organizational forms. Through an examination of KIBS sectors such as computer services, management, consultancy and R & D services, the contributors in this book argue that the evolution of KIBS is strongly associated with new inter-organizational forms and that different country institutions shape the characteristics of these organizational forms. This book provides a strong contrin\bution to theory and empirical evidence on fast-growing KIBS and their implications for innovation. |
