The evolution of the organisation of knowledge production is analysed through four stylised modes: scientific entrepreneurship, institutional variety, vertical integration and technological cooperation. The new trends towards the growth of knowledge-intensive business service industries are detected and underlined. They are considered as the outcome of the institutional formation of a market for knowledge based upon a process of increasing appropriability of localised knowledge based on: the blending of generic scientific information and competence and growing scope of applicability via computer-communication systems; deverticalisation of research activities from the boundaries of corporations; the specification of a demand for technological competence; and the specialising of independent firms in the production of technological competence and knowledge. - Reproduced Industrial organization Industrial management Cambridge Journal of Economics 41432 41432 41432 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 23, Issue no: 2 AR41808 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
