“…At the other extreme, we find studies (Dachs, 2010; Gotsch et al , 2011; Pylak and Chaniotou 2013; Desmarchelier et al , 2013; Pylak and Majerek, 2014) that examine the presence and dynamics of KIBS in relation to (high) growth or (high) income localities, but without revealing how growth of KIBS feeds or spills over to the sectors in a locality that is supposed to be net consumers of KIBS – as an intermediate step prior to determining evolutions at the level of territorial economies as a whole.…”

“…Furthermore, a multi-factor analysis on the way that the use of KIBS eventually trickles down to turnover and export performance of industries and firms seems to be indicated. This could encompass factors or constructs, such as uptake of KIBS in final value propositions (Cusumano et al , 2014), impact of KIBS’ use on raising labour productivity and of other production factors (Antonelli, 1999; Arnold et al , 2011; Evangelista et al , 2013; Mayer and Ottaviano, 2007; Muûls and Pisu, 2009; Pylak and Majerek, 2014; Rubiera et al , 2010; Tomlinson, 1997) and impact of KIBS uptake on the innovation capacity of client industries (Howells, 2000; Tether and Metcalfe, 2004; Grönroos, 2008; Gotsch et al , 2011).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to test whether knowledge-intensive business services (KIBSs) contribute to international business activity. In line with studies from the servitization, the territorial competitiveness and the global value chain realm, it can be hypothesized that if KIBS consumption has a positive effect on business competitiveness, a correlation is discernible between “intensity of KIBS uptake” and “turnover and export performance at industrial sector level”. Design/methodology/approach To test this hypothesis, the authors make use of input-output tables from the Basque Country for the period 2000-2012 and regional accounts regarding turnover and export per sector and calculate how consumption of a series of KIBS correlates with turnover and export evolution for 14 industrial sectors. Findings The authors find a strong fit between consumption of KIBSs and international competitiveness parameters for the industrial sectors screened. Research limitations/implications The authors postulate that the use of KIBS is beneficial for consuming industries. Accordingly, the authors posit that having a sound KIBS basis in a territory contributes to (international) business competitiveness, and that industrial policies should foster the rapprochement of manufacturing sectors to KIBS. At the same time, the authors assume that reverse causalities may be at play (international competitiveness of manufacturing sectors boosts KIBS consumption through backward linkage effects). Practical implications The paper posits that having a sound KIBS basis in a territory contributes to international business competitiveness, and that industrial policies should foster a rapprochement of manufacturing sectors to KIBS. A further implication would be to look after a minimum critical mass and or to engage in KIBS capacity building in a territory. Absence of competitiveness-enhancing KIBS in a region may hamper business performance and staying power of user industries. The paper’s findings also imply that the posture of manufacturing firms towards uptake of knowledge-intensive services matters, and that fostering their proactiveness to interact with KIBS is indicated. Similarly, they form an argument in favour of considering KIBS as active subject matters for industrial policy design. Originality/value Amidst the several perspectives adopted upon KIBS’ role to foster business and territorial competitiveness, what is largely absent is the examination of how uptake of KIBS by respective sectors relates to the turnover or export evolutions that the sectors in question reveal. Consequently, the present paper sets out to examine this research question.

“…As a result, the innovation will be brought to the client firms' networks locally (Simmie and Strambach, 2006), nationally (Muller and Zenker, 2001) and even internationally (Corrocher and Cusmano, 2014; Doloreux and Shearmur, 2012; Muller and Doloreux, 2009). The innovation literature has highlighted the role of professional service firms as innovation carriers, facilitators and sources (Fernández-Esquinas et al , 2016; Pylak and Majerek, 2014; Shearmur and Doloreux, 2009). Therefore, PSFs may significantly influence digital platform spillovers across industries.…”

PurposeDrawing on a strategic agility perspective, the authors develop a theoretical framework and empirically examine how digital platform adoption and capability impact business performance via digital-enabled strategic agility in the context of professional service firms.Design/methodology/approachThe authors propose and examine a conceptual framework based on survey data from 127 professional service firms in New Zealand.FindingsThis study reveals the impact of digital platform capability on the business performance of professional service firms that employ digital platform technologies. The results suggest that organizational innovation and managers' creative efficacy will be used as distal antecedents and contribute to digital platform capabilities. In addition, digital strategic agility can mediate the link between digital platform capabilities and business performance.Originality/valueThis study is one of the first to investigate when and how digital platforms empower professional service firms. This study reveals the role of digital strategic agility and digital platform capabilities in knowledge-intensive enterprises. This research advances the development of knowledge-based economy in the information age by applying and extending strategic agility to the uncertain and volatile business environment. The authors' new conceptualization provides a deeper understanding of how and why professional services business and organizations can adapt to the post-COVID era smoothly and successfully.

“…La tabla 5 sintetiza la clasificación utilizada para las manufacturas, que sigue las consideraciones planteadas por la Organización para la Cooperación y Desarrollo Económico (ocde) respecto al uso de tecnología e insumos intangibles en la producción, como el conocimiento (ocde, 2011;Galindo-Rueda & Verger, 2016). La decisión de aglutinar las actividades manufactureras por uso de tecnología y conocimiento (y no desglosadas como en la tabla 3), se apalanca en el corpus teórico que sugiere dos posibilidades organizativas básicas de kibs y manufacturas: por un lado, coaglomeraciones simbióticas de alta tecnología, que esbozan fuertes sinergias productivas; y, por otro, coaglomeraciones entre kibs y manufacturas de media o baja tecnología, que insinúan derrames de conocimiento de las kibs hacia la manufactura (Pylak & Majerek, 2014;Wyrwich, 2019).…”

“…El objetivo de este artículo es doble: identificar la importancia económica de las kibs, y estimar sus posibles encadenamientos locales con la manufactura (vía proximidad geográfica), en dos zonas metropolitanas (zm) mexicanas (Toluca y Querétaro), cuyos procesos industriales han despegado a partir de la desindustrialización de la Ciudad de México. Los resultados sugieren que ambas zm presentan incrementos en la densidad de kibs, por lo que incrementarla no sería necesariamente un reto presente como en otras economías emergentes (Pylak & Majerek, 2014). Por otra parte, el gasto manufacturero en servicios kibs ha ido también aumentando, sobre todo en servicios específicos que, como los patrones de concentración revelan, se orientan a encadenamientos posproducción: ventas, marketing y publicidad, por nombrar algunos.…”

Este artículo analiza la integración entre las empresas de servicios intensivos en conocimiento (KIBS) y la manufactura, partiendo de que esta genera alto crecimiento económico local y competitividad. Se utilizan técnicas espaciales de análisis de patrones de puntos. Se estudian dos zonas metropolitanas del centro de México, Toluca y Querétaro, ambas próximas a Ciudad de México, cuyo desarrollo industrial ha sido distinto. A pesar de sus diferencias, los resultados sugieren que los kibs se enlazan a la industria del transporte, motor de las exportaciones mexicanas y clave en la consolidación en lascadenas globales de valor.
