Abstract
Based on a sample of Canadian manufacturing small- and medium-sized firms, the study investigates the nature and use of Knowledge-Intensive services by manufacturing firms and assesses the impact of the use of KIBS on their R&D activities. In the paper, we test if the use of KIS has an impact on whether firms realize R&D, and R&D intensity and compare the results across manufacturing sectors.
