| Summary: | In Europe, most of the earlier studies applied to KIBS (knowledge
intensive business services) were developed in North European
countries (Finland, Sweden, Norway, UK or German) where that
research is already consistent and widespread. However, the study of
KIBS is in its infancy in other European countries. In this article we
demonstrate that research into Portuguese KIBS is still very recent
and incipient.
We also aim to contribute to the discussion of the significance of KIBS
to Portuguese economy where the weight of services sector is
preponderant.
We present a literature review showing how the KIBS have evolved in
Portugal by drawing portraits of two decades. We complement this
with an empirical study using the Community Innovation Survey (CIS)
2008.
We emphasize that there is still much to learn about Portuguese KIBS. |
