This report by the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology is about Knowledge Intensive Service Activities (KIS) in the New Zealand software industry.
A KIS is an expert service that firms use to enhance the value of their existing activities. Innovation is one such activity that uses KIS activities.
Understanding how firms access and use the variety of innovation-related KIS activities available to them, in different industries, at different times, helps policy makers design targeted policies and programmes to actively stimulate innovation across them.
