Résumé Plusieurs études se sont penchées sur l’évolution de la localisation des emplois de services aux entreprises. Une hypothèse qui n’a pas encore été pleinement explorée est celle selon laquelle ce secteur chercherait à s’implanter à proximité des quartiers résidentiels où réside sa main-d’oeuvre. Notre étude démontre qu’il semble effectivement y avoir une certaine colocalisation, mais que celle-ci affecte principalement la main-d’oeuvre résidant à proximité du centre-ville. Ici, on trouve que les nouveaux emplois de services aux entreprises tendent à se localiser à proximité des quartiers déjà habités par leurs employés. Ceci nous permet d’avancer l’hypothèse d’une cogentrification* : d’abord résidentielle, alors que certains professionnels se sont, depuis une vingtaine d’années, réapproprié des quartiers péricentraux de Montréal. Ensuite économique, tandis que les emplois de bureau en services aux entreprises se sont localisés vers ces mêmes quartiers.

“…On the one hand, the vast majority of research claims that local and/or intra-regional collaboration links play a crucial role in firm development and innovativeness (e.g., Audretsch and Feldman 1996, Keeble et al 1998, Longhi 1999, Mustar 2001, Zucker et al 1998). However, these analyses are often concentrated on the networking systems of well-known clusters and locations and, therefore, it is questionable whether the results can be generalized to middle-or lower-ranked regions (Britton 2004, Egeln et al 2004. Indeed, firms located in lower-rated regions may be compelled to collaborate with external partners in order to overcome locational disadvantages and achieve success in terms of innovativeness.…”

“…Although it is true that a firm's assessment of locational conditions may not reflect the objective reality of same (e.g., perceived vs. actual distance from an airport or university), the perceptions, objectively true or not, of potential decisionmakers are crucial because these perceptions can influence decisions they may make about the spatial scope of their economic activities. Since regional systems can be regarded as a cumulative outcome derived from decisions of various individual economic actors, it is necessary to take the firms' viewpoint into consideration when performing a spatial analysis (Britton 2004, Oerlemans et al 2001, Rees and Stafford 1986.…”

First, it analyzes the extent to which the innovativeness of spin-offs, either born from a research facility or from another company, is influenced by locational conditions. Second, it provides evidence on how important local cooperation links are in comparison to nonlocal ones.Using a sample of approximately 1,500 East German firms from knowledge-intensive sectors, we estimate a structural equation model applying the partial least squares method. We find that proximity to local research institutes and universities is the most influential factor for the cooperation intensity of spin-offs. Furthermore, the higher the cooperation intensity, the greater the innovativeness of a firm.Moreover, the results indicate that it is not the local but the nonlocal cooperation ties that are more conducive to innovativeness of research spin-offs. The findings also highlight that the innovativeness of research spin-offs with solely local links is strongly depends on support from various authorities and institutions.

“…Indeed, it is true that the data can be biased as it is possible that a firm's assessment of, for instance, locational conditions may not reflect the objective reality of the same (e.g., perceived vs. actual distance from a university or an airport). Nevertheless, the perceptions, regardless of their objective truth, of potential decision makers are of great relevance because these perceptions affect the choices and decisions they ultimately make about the spatial scope of their economic operations (Britton 2004;Oerlemans et al 2001;Rees and Stafford 1986). In addition, this approach takes into account that not all firms have identical needs and/or requirements regarding locational conditions.…”

“…1 Moreover, since regional outcome can be derived from the activities and performance of the various economic actors operating within the region (Britton 2004;Oerlemans et al 2001;Rees and Stafford 1986), the chosen mode of international engagement by firms can clearly affect the development and performance of regions, as well (e.g., Biggiero 2006;deMartino et al 2006). …”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThis paper investigates the links between locational conditions, innovative capabilities and internationalization of manufacturing SMEs. Two modes of foreign market servicing are explored: exporting activity and relocating of selected business activities abroad. The empirical analysis employs two probit models based on survey of about 3,000 firms. The results reveal that the outputs of SMEs' innovative activities-i.e., product innovations and patent applications-enhance exporting propensity as expected. Nevertheless, the input-side indicator-R&D intensity-appears to exert no impact. Further, the locational factor proximity to research institutions promotes SMEs' engagement in exporting. Regarding the determinants of selective relocations abroad, the findings show that SMEs with a high degree of R&D are less likely to separate production from other operations and relocate it abroad. Moreover, manufacturing SMEs assessing the proximity to research facilities, as well as support from various regional authorities and other bodies as important and good-quality locational conditions, exhibit a significantly lower likelihood to relocate selected activities abroad. Indeed, emphasizing the role of institutional setting in firm activity, our findings coincide in this respect with the previous literature focused on innovative milieu, learning regions and regional innovation systems.
