This research investigates the role and the importance of knowledge-intensive service activities in the traditional sectors. Knowledge-intensive service activities are defined as innovation-related service activities delivered from inside or outside the innovating company. As such, we investigated the interaction between the innovating company and the various partners supplying knowledge-intensive services to the innovating firm, such as universities, research institutes, private research facilities (R&D labs, e.g.) and consulting companies. We used both firm-level data as well as innovation-level data.
