The aim of this article is to study and compare the importance of intermediate demand for KIBS and to examine the relation between KIBS intensity and innovativeness in the EU countries. The study refers to all the EU countries, which gives an opportunity of comparative analysis between countries, in particular between EU-15 and EU-12. The data are derived from the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) and the European Innovation Scoreboard. The analyzed period covers the years 2000–2014 (with respect to KIBS intensity), and 2002–2014 (with respect to innovativeness), which is determined by the availability of relevant data. The empirical study shows that among the EU-15 countries only those with high income can be characterized by a higher level of KIBS intensity and innovativeness than the EU-12 countries. The statistical research shows that there is a positive, statistically signifi cant correlation between KIBS intensity in the economy and its innovativeness, measured by the Summary Innovation Index.

The purpose of this article is the empirical verification of characteristics of innovation activity and innovation in service companies based on the results of the Community Innovation Survey. In the first part of the study the characteristics of services that determine the nature of innovation activity and innovation model in service companies are indicated. In the following part the empirical verification of these features, based on the results of the CIS for all EU countries, is carried out. Including into the study all EU countries gives a large number of observations, and it should be noted that the previous studies in this area have been conducted based on the data for the individual countries. The research method is to compare the innovative activities of industrial and service companies in the EU countries, which shows the possible differences in the nature of innovation activities of companies from both sectors. This allows to answer the question whether the innovative activities of service companies can be studied using the same tools that are used in industrial companies (assimilation approach) or to develop new methods for measuring innovative activity − (a) specific to service companies (demarcation approach) or (b) relating both to companies from both sectors (integration approach). In the article all the characteristics of innovation activity in service companies are positively verified. The exception is an interactive nature of innovation activities in service companies. It is important to pay attention to the data from the last two CIS rounds, from which we can find out that non-technological innovations are equally important in industrial companies, as well as in service companies, and both types of innovation are generally complementary to each other. It follows an interesting conclusion that it is impossible to make a simple distinction between technological innovation in industrial companies and non-technological one in service companies, and research on innovation activities should rather be based on an integration approach. Unfortunately, the dominance of assimilation approach in CIS makes innovative activities of service companies are still not thoroughly examined and fully recognized. Therefore, despite the positive changes in the quality of the data, which can be seen when comparing the results of the latest and possibly the oldest CIS rounds, further changes are necessary in this area. Proposals for such changes are indicated by the author.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the factors that may have impact on the lower level of service firms’ innovation activities, that can be found from empirical data on innovation activities (mainly Community Innovation Surveys). We can distinguish two categories of such factors. The first category, including factors such as: a much lower attention given to the issue of service firms’ innovation activities, an intangibility of services and service innovations, and the problem how to measure service innovations, may contribute to the underestimation of service firms’ innovation activities. On the other hand factors such as: an ease to imitate service innovations and a poor system of intellectual property rights protection in service firms, as well as a weak connection of service firms with national innovation systems may discourage service firms to spend more and become more active in the field of innovation activities. All these factors are the subject of analysis in the paper. To identify them, it seems very important, both for further research and for innovation policy, especially in the light of increasing convergence between manufacturing and service sectors, and the increasing importance of service innovations in both sectors. Finally, the author analyzes and evaluates the actions that have been taken recently in order to improve the quality of data on service firms’ innovation activities.

In this paper, we propose four measures to calculate the KIBS intensity of trade (i.e., KIBS terms of trade; an importance indicator; an indicator showing the relative KIBS intensity of exports; and an indicator showing the relative importance of KIBS). Finally, we examine the composition of KIBS output imputed to export. The study refers to the EU countries. Calculations are based on a set of input-output tables from the World Input-Output Database for the period 2000 – 2014. Empirical results demonstrate that the EU-15 has a clear and growing advantage over the EU-13 in KIBS direct exports, but when taking into account indirect KIBS trade, the EU-15’s advantage is smaller, with a decreasing trend. Export appeared to be more KIBS-intensive than production for domestic final demand, and computer and information services were the main engine behind the growing KIBS intensity of export. Among the EU countries, Ireland is an outlier.
