The book investigates the meaning, nature and consequences of innovation interactions between small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) and knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS). It focuses on the concept of a virtuous circle linking KIBS' and SMEs' innovation capacities in Germany and France. A particular emphasis is given to the question of the role and nature of the knowledge base of the firm in an evolutionary perspective. The integration of the spatial dimension strengthens the examination. For this purpose, a new data analysis methodology has been developed. This methodology consists of a combination of complementary statistical procedures, which provides a tool allowing a reliable examination of the data collected. The samples considered in the analysis constitute a source of rich, complex, and diversified information.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The current decade has stressed the reinforcement of three major trends affecting developed economies since at least half a century. The frrst trend concerns the im portance of innovations for fIrms, regions and nations. Even if innovation, however defmed, is not a recent phenomenon, the crucial role innovativeness plays in a world of increased competition reveals its importance as a major economic phe nomenon. A second prominent trend corresponds to the 'tertiarisation of the econ omy', i. e. the considerable and continuous expansion of the share of services in contemporary economies. 1 The third trend consists in the substantial changes af fecting the economical meaning of 'space'. Signs of these substantial changes can be found in the increased unity of 'space' (the globalisation phenomenon), in the appearance of new territories (as suggested by the emergence of a 'virtual conti nent'2) as well as in the reconsideration of existing ones (for instance, induced by new flexible production systems). As such, these three trends express a triple break down: a breakdown in the time scale of the economy (due to the increasing velocity of economic activities), a breakdown in the nature of the economy (since 'intangi ble production' is expanding) and a breakdown in the space(s) of the economy (be cause of shifting dimensions). Certain categories of activities or actors may high light and even symbolise this triple rupture in diverse ways. 198 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9783790813623
