Knowledge-Intensive Business Services As the Infrastructure in National Innovation System: Roles and Polices
INTRODUCTION Though business services have been the fastest growing branch in most developed countries and newly developing countries during the last thirty years, and more and more knowledge is functioned in increasing productivity of business services, it has only been since the mid of the 1990s that research has focused specifically on knowledge-intensive business services. In 1995 these services were separated into their own group more precisely than previously and the definition of knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) was adopted (Miles et al. 1995). Since then there has been a constant growth in research interest into the nature of KIBS and into their role in society. Closely connected with the awareness of the importance of KIBS have been the new insights concerning innovation activity. The following three research trends and approaches are particularly important in this respect: 1) the broadening of the traditional innovation concept focused on science and radical inventions, 2) appreciation of the significance of service innovations and research into their special nature, and 3) the adoption of innovation systems thinking.
