Abstract

Frenkel A. Intra-metropolitan competition for attracting high-technology firms, Regional Studies . Since metropolitan regions function as a preferable location for high-technology firms, the competition between different sites for attracting such firms centres mainly on the quality of the nearby surroundings (growth pole milieu). This study employs the regional competitive advantage conceptual model, which points to the competitive advantages created by the region's capital assets. The empirical study examines competition among intra-metropolitan locations for attracting high-technology firms in the Tel Aviv metropolitan region of Israel. Four industrial parks were selected for analysis, and 117 managers of high-technology firms located those parks were interviewed. Frenkel A. La comp�tition intra-m�tropolitaine pour attirer les entreprises à la pointe de la technologie, Regional Studies . Etant donn� que les r�gions m�tropolitaines servent d'emplacements privil�gi�s des entreprises à la pointe de la technologie, la comp�tition entre des emplacements diff�rents pour attirer de telles entreprises porte largement sur la qualit� du milieu environnant (pôles de croissance). Cette �tude emploie le modèle conceptuel de l'avantage comp�titif r�gional qui indique les avantages comp�titifs cr��s par les capitaux fixes de la r�gion.

Intrametropolitaner Wettbewerb zur Anwerbung von Hochtechnologiefirmen, Regional Studies . Da metropolitane Regionen ein bevorzugter Standort für Hochtechnologiefirmen sind, konzentriert sich der Wettbewerb zwischen verschiedenen potenziellen Standorten für solche Firmenzentren in erster Linie auf die Qualität der nahen Umgebung (Wachstumspol-Milieu). In dieser Studie kommt ein konzeptuelles Modell des regionalen Wettbewerbsvorteils zum Einsatz, mit dem sich die Wettbewerbsvorteile herausarbeiten lassen, die durch das Kapital einer Region erzeugt werden. In der empirischen Studie wird der Wettbewerb zwischen potenziellen intrametropolitanen Standorten für Hochtechnologiefirmen in der israelischen Metropolitanregion Tel Aviv untersucht. Für die Analyse wurden vier Industrieparks ausgesucht und 117 Manager von Hochtechnologiefirmen in diesen Parks interviewt.
