First, the knowledge-intensity of public service work has increased markedly.

We often overstate the importance of knowledge-intensive industries and economies because we focus on knowledge-intensity rather than knowledge-scarcity.

As the knowledge-intensity of production increased, both governments and firms came to regard technology as one of the key components in a strategy for building competitiveness.

Regardless of the degree of knowledge-intensity, and even if the service rendered is knowledge itself (news, answering service), its value diminishes according to the ease with which competitors can replicate.

A review of trends in employment relations, interdivisional relations, and interfirm relations finds evidence suggesting that the effect of growing knowledge-intensity may indeed be a trend toward greater reliance on trust.

The stages of development theme was developed and illustrated in the paper which posits as an ultimate stage of knowledge-intensity, the emergence of a new business paradigm in the KBE, one which demands new and sophisticated management practices.

Even in traditional industries such as textiles and clothing (Mytelka 1987, 1991a), the need to strengthen competitiveness has led to a rapid increase in the knowledge-intensity of production, where knowledge is understood to include research and development (R&D), design, engineering, maintenance, management, and marketing.

Reflecting their rising share of economic output and relatively high knowledge-intensity, the services industries employed more than 80 percent of those who had some postsecondary training up to and including a bachelor’s degree and nearly 90 percent of those who advanced to graduate studies.
