Abstract

This study explores the benefits of a managed science park location in the UK for independent technology-based firms. Property needs of independent technology-based firms located on managed science parks are compared with the property needs of technologybased firms located on non-managed parks. The role played by the science park manager/ director in the development of firms located on managed and non-managed science parks is also explored. Conclusions and implications for policy-makers and practitioners are detailed.
