Location selection of high-tech enterprises is one the key topics in current research. The researchers discovered that Chinese Internet companies have a long tradition positioning and development prime cities. In last few years, more businesses opted to leave top Through collecting sorting relevant literature, this paper uses empirical research method by Process-Tracing Method case study discus...

When a major technological innovation spreads out in both high-tech and middle/low-tech industries, new clusters appear, develop and grow at the expenses of “older” historical industrial sites. The literature has, under various labels, recognised three main stages of cluster development: an initial stage sparked by an initial exogenous, shock; a second stage driven by Marshall’s (1920) agglomer...

This article surveys a new generation of analytical tools for capacity planning and management, especially in high-tech industries such as semiconductors, electronics and bio-techs. The objectives of the article are to (1) identify fundamental theory driving current research in capacity management, (2) review emerging models in operations research, game theory, and economics that address strate...

Introduction Pavement texture is defined by the irregularities on a pavement surface that deviate from an ideal, perfectly flat surface. As shown in Figure 1, the World Road Association (PIARC) has established standard categories of texture, classified by wavelength. These categories include microtexture (wavelengths up to 0.5 mm), macrotexture (0.5 to 50 mm), megatexture (50 to 500 mm), and ro...

I empirically investigated the effect of three types of investment in acquiring technological knowledge (in-house R&D, importing foreign technology and purchasing domestic technology) on the innovation output of Chinese domestic firms in hi-tech industries. These investments on technology are assumed to generate different types of knowledge, which in turn contribute to the enhancement of the te...

Over the past two decades, the formation of international and interfirm collaborations has increased substantially, especially for the high-tech firms. It is argued that collaborations provide a platform for organizational learning, giving partner firms access to each other’s knowledge. However, empirical validations on the relationships among governance mechanisms, interfirm learning and relat...

Being international’ has nearly become an undisputed aim for fi rms in a globalized world. Several papers fi nd a positive relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and the home performance of fi rms. In this paper we address the “FDI – export” relationship to better understand this pattern. Furthermore, by presenting fi rst results on fi rm’s post-divestiture employment growth at ho...
