| description |
The project undertook a comparative analysis of the local and long distance linkages of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a view to analysing the extent to which these are complementary or substitutable. Face-to-face interviews with 50 firms - 25 from the ICT and 25 from the biotechnology sectors - were conducted. The firms are located in clusters in or near to the cities of Strasbourg, Grenoble, Nimes, Montpellier, Toulouse and Marseille in France. |

"Clustering, Long Distance Partnerships and the SME: A Study of the French Biotechnology Sector" presented at the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Innovation Systems Research Network (ISRN), Quebec City, 9-10 May 2002. This paper is to be published in the International Journal of Technology Management (forthcoming 2003).
A paper comparing biotechnology and ICT sector firms was due to be published in late 2003 |
