presence of other banks as making an important contribution to innovation. The same
tendency is evident for fund management, but not for management consultancies. Larger
firms are significantly more likely to rate the presence of other firms in the same line of
activity as being important. Banks are also significantly more likely to rate the presence of
firms who supply complementary goods and services as being important to innovation.
The same tendency is more weakly evident for investment banks.
