abstract = "Knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) and especially non-technical professional KIBS firms fulfill a cross-divisional function in the knowledge-based development of economies and provide their clients customized, high-value services. Moreover, KIBS produce and diffuse knowledge and oversee markets. Their consultancy support helps firms to exploit their own knowledge potential (e.g., Miles et al. 1995; Muller and Zenker 2001; Wood 2002). Accordingly, understanding where and why KIBS firms locate is helpful in advising policy makers to foster the establishment of knowledge-intensive industries as a prerequisite to designing a knowledge-based economy.",
