Research interest in the service sector has boomed in recent years
as deindustrialisation became entrenched. Instead of being regarded
as merely supplementary to traditional industry and manufacturing,
services have generated progressively rising levels of growth in
developed economies while at the same time coming to be recognised
as major drivers of innovation. Among the factors which have helped
service companies notch up swifter growth rates than all other
sectors are the outsourcing of such services by other sectors,
including the development of information and communication
technologies, and changes to the regulatory, legal and market
frameworks as well as globalisation and internationalisation. The
result is a cluster of highly innovative firms which can loosely be
grouped under the heading of Knowledge Intensive Business Services
(KIBS). Knowledge Intensive Business Services and Regional
Competitiveness charts the development of these firms and explores
their success through four mutually linked parts: KIBS and
industrial dynamics; KIBS and their context; KIBS and their
contribution to regional competitiveness and economic development;
and finally, KIBS and public policy. This book is suitable for
researchers and policy makers interested in the rise of these
influential actors and their influence on regional competitiveness.
