Abstract
Acquisition of external knowledge in disembodied technology markets and its recombination with internal research and development activities and competencies is emerging as an effective way to increase the total amount of technological knowledge each company and country can generate. Transactions in technological knowledge take place among industrial firms as well as between industrial firms and Knowledge-Intensive Business Services specializing in the generation of technological knowledge to be delivered and sold to third parties.
The assistance of Martin Marchesi in data collection and statistical analysis is gratefully acknowledged.
