Abstract

This paper seeks to understand the factors that could make knowledge-intensive services a facilitating sector for sustained growth in Argentina, as well as those that limit its expansion and internationalization. The sector's recent evolution—characterized by a period of boom followed by stagnation—is useful for research as it offers an 'experiment' to investigate which factors play a promoting role and which others act as obstacles. To this end, we selected two sectors —Software and Information and Technology Services, and Advertising and Audiovisual Services— and conducted interviews with key stakeholders from each of them. Through the interviews, we aim to understand from the actors and their experiences which factors were key in driving the rapid expansion of the sector during the 2000s and which ones acted as constraints or 'bottlenecks' that led to the subsequent stagnation.
