摘要：The emergence of a new technological paradigm based on information and communication technologies (ICTs) involves innovative mechanisms of knowledge creation and diffu- sion, changes in fi rms’ organisation within and across coun- tries, and the development of new skills. In this framework, the relative importance of different factors of international competitiveness is also changing. Consequently, the shift to a knowledge-based economy requires a deeper under- standing of the role of intangible investments, not only for economic growth but also for international competitiveness.
