“…It is therefore not surprising that dynamic populations of networked and highly innovative firms have emerged and are usually pioneers in the sectors named above (see, for example, Suarez-Villa and Walrod 2003;Coombs and Georghiu 2002;DiMaggio 2001;Fischer et al 1999;Liebeskind et al 1996). Many of those firms are linked to other firms through networked alliances, or through outsourcing arrangements and joint ventures where networks are involved (see Suarez-Villa 2002a, andRobbins-Roth 2000;Cooke and Morgan 1998;Galambos and Sewell 1996;Suarez-Villa and Karlsson 1996;Suarez-Villa and Fischer 1995). Networked alliances may involve, for example, upstream links with firms that are research partners or collaborators, and downstream relations with customers who can provide valuable feedback on their products and innovations, or who may even become involved in product redesign efforts.…”

The e-economy is part of a larger phenomenon, technocapitalism, that is transforming business organizations and the ways in which they transact, produce, and ship their goods. Technocapitalism is an evolution of market capitalism that is rooted in technological innovation and supported by such intangibles as creativity and knowledge. This paper considers first the main characteristics of networks that support the e-economy and its source phenomenon, the emergence of technocapitalism. Networks are thought to be the main vehicle through which the e-economy spreads, and they have major effects on the organization of business firms. The culture of technocapitalism, with its emphasis on continuous innovation and rapid adjustment, is largely behind the rising importance of networks. A second section then considers the deconstruction of business firms and its relation to networks, the e-economy, and the rise of technocapitalism. A historical perspective is provided to show the contrast with previous eras. The deconstruction of business organizations involves a major transformation of the norms and ways in which firms are run and structured. Finally, the likely implications for transportation and shipping of the rise of the e-economy, its networks, and the deconstruction of firms are discussed. The logistics, pricing, and infrastructure of shipping are likely to be substantially affected by the spread of the e-economy, its networks, and the deconstruction of firms.

“…Here, innovating firms find a qualified work force, capable cooperation partners in business and research institutes (Suárez-Villa and Fischer, 1995;Howells, 1983;Ewers and Wettmann, 1980). Furthermore, spatial, technological and institutional proximity and specific resources are available that can generate significant externalities (Fischer et al, 2001).…”

“…With an improved understanding of these relationships, policymakers can assist in developing economically strong entrepreneurial clusters. Caution must be given, however, because tightly concentrated entrepreneurial or innovative clusters, though benefiting a local region, might have broader negative social impacts such as increasing income inequalities between neighboring regions in the same country (Suarez‐Villa and Fischer 1995).…”

“…Firms following technology‐leadership and/or differentiation strategies will also likely employ more highly skilled, highly educated individuals with consumption patterns tending toward higher‐end products and services, as well as an increased interest in quality of life and macro‐environmental issues (e.g., Holt 1998; Suarez‐Villa and Fischer 1995; Coleman 1983). Attracting and retaining an educated and scientific workforce is critical for firms pursing technology‐leadership and/or differentiation strategies.…”

SME Competitive Strategy and Location Behavior: An Exploratory Study of High-Technology Manufacturing

Forty-four Scottish small and medium-sized high-technology manufacturing firms were surveyed regarding their technology strategies and the impact of regional-and site-specific infrastructure requirements on their location behavior. An empirically derived typology of technology content for high-technology firms was developed via cluster analysis and utilized, together with selected technology and manufacturing strategy variables, to investigate whether significant linkages existed between these variables and firms' related location decisions. Results suggest that location decisions are directly correlated to a firm's competitive strategy and that they should actually be considered a dynamic dimension of strategy rather than a static one-time choice.
