SME Competitive Strategy and Location Behavior: An Exploratory Study of High-Technology Manufacturing
调查了44家苏格兰中小型高科技制造企业的技术战略和区位行为，发现区位决策与竞争战略直接相关，应被视为战略的动态维度而非静态选择。
Forty-four Scottish small and medium-sized high-technology manufacturing firms were surveyed regarding their technology strategies and the impact of regional- and site-specific infrastructure requirements on their location behavior. An empirically derived typology of technology content for high-technology firms was developed via cluster analysis and utilized, together with selected technology and manufacturing strategy variables, to investigate whether significant linkages existed between these variables and firms' related location decisions. Results suggest that location decisions are directly correlated to a firm's competitive strategy and that they should actually be considered a dynamic dimension of strategy rather than a static one-time choice.
