Abstract

As background for understanding the role of KIE within the EU textile and apparel industries through the empirical analyses in later chapters, this chapter summarizes the dynamics of the European textile and apparel industries in the post-2005 period. It also discusses the role of small firms in the present-day European textile and apparel industries, in general, and specifically with respect to innovation. And, it examines the research literature that explores KIE and, in particular, the literature that is focused on today’s European textile and apparel industries.
