| Tiivistelmä: | The expanding literature on the contribution of producer services to production and new product development makes it clear that information about markets, or market intelligence (MI), is a critical input to product innovation. At the same time, research on user-producer interaction suggests that as distance between producers and users increases, the amount of information exchanged tends to decline because opportunities for face-to-face conduct diminish. The implication is that firms in peripheral locations and countries with small domestic markets may have difficulty generating sufficient MI to develop successful products. |
