Open innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises: An overview (2013, background): “…or even competitors, have become important management instruments to improve competitiveness and innovation by providing access to external resources, prompting new synergies and creating, accessing, transferring and integrating new knowledge (Muller and Zenker, 2001; Piperopoulos, 2012).”
Variety in the Knowledge Base of Knowledge Intensive Business Services (2010, background): “support this conjecture and show that KIBS sectors do not expand homogeneously across countries but, rather, feature differential sub-sectoral specialization (Antonelli, 1998; Muller and Zenker, 2001; Freel, 2006; Zenker and Doloreux, 2008; Corrocher et al, 2009).”
Territorial servitization: Exploring the virtuous circle connecting knowledge-intensive services and new manufacturing businesses (2017, background): “Muller & Zenker (2001) describe KIBS as service businesses providing knowledge-based and a high intellectual value-added services mostly to other small and medium sized manufacturing firms.”
The Location and Global Network Structure of Maritime Advanced Producer Services (2011, background): “In contrast to the focus on globally sourced and provided advanced services is an alternative, but not necessarily incompatible, perspective which focuses on the regional interaction between so-called knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) and their (international) clients (Muller and Zenker, ”
Entrepreneurial Geographies: Support Networks in Three High-Technology Industries (2005, background): “Although the literature has clearly noted the importance of local business services (Porter 1998; Bennett, Graham, and Bratton 1999; Muller and Zenker 2001; Scott 2002), it is remarkable that there have been few quantitative studies of the location of business services that support entrepreneurship…”
Patterns of innovation in knowledge-intensive business services (2009, background): “Knowledge-intensive services combine various types of highly specialised knowledge in order to develop (either innovative or non-innovative) problem-specific solutions (Koschatzky & Stahlecker, 2006 ; Miles, Kastrinos, Flanagan, Bilderbeek, & den Hertog, 1995 ; Muller & Zenker, 2001 ).”
Modes of innovation in knowledge-intensive business services evidence from Lombardy (2009, methodology): “Following Nählinder (2002) and Freel (2006), we classify as technical KIBS (t-KIBS) ‘testing activities and technical analysis’ (NACE 743) and the highly dense subsector of architecture and engineering activities (NACE 742).”
Universities and Knowledge-Intensive Business Services (KIBS) as Sources of Knowledge for Innovative Firms in Peripheral Regions (2015, background): “MULLER and ZENKER (2001), for instance, found that SMEs interacting with KIBS were more likely to introduce innovations, invest in R&D and cooperate with the wider technological infrastructure.”
Innovation intermediaries and collaboration: Knowledge–based practices and internal value creation (2018, neutral): “…a better awareness of the needs, resources and competencies of a wide array of actors of a system of innovation and their institutional framework (Howells and Roberts, 2000; Muller and Zenker, 2001; Kau ﬀ eld-Monz and Fritsch, 2013), which is termed here as ‘ innovation ecosystem knowledge ’ .”
Foreign direct investment in services and manufacturing productivity growth: evidence for Chile (2008, methodology): “Even so, we pursue the Olley and Pakes (1996) estimation, obtain residual plant TFP levels, and use the corresponding plant TFP growth as the dependent variable in Column 9 of Panel A.”
