“Principle of Relatedness” (PR) • The probability of developing a new activity is a function of the closeness to preexisting activities • PR explains diversification behaviour across disciplines and applications • There is a gap in our understanding of how firms behave in “organized” markets • We identified PR as a key factor of firm behaviour in public procurement markets • The Service Knowledge Space represents a network of activity proximity • Modular layout of communities, representing different areas of economic activity with sparse connections • Most complex services relate to software and advanced business services
