Etude sur les facteurs du choix local intrarégional de la hightechnology lié à la question de savoir quelles caractéristiques distinguent les endroits high-tech des endroits moins high-tech. On voit que, jusqu'à présent, les endroits moins
favorables à la high-tech, malgré toutes les mesures d'encouragement, sont à peine en mesure de développer une base hightechnology solide et avant tout en fonction des structures et de la taille des entreprises. - (Equipe EG)
Hightechnology location and the urban areas of Great Britain : developments in the 1980s
Economic restructuring ; Employment ; Great Britain ; High-tech industry ; Regional disparities ; Specialization ; Technology ; United Kingdom ; Urban economy
New towns appear more successful than other urban areas in attracting hightechnology, and this continued to be the case during the 1980s. There is evidence of a relative increase of hightechnology activity in smaller urban areas since 1981
Restructuring of Australian higher education : information technology in geography teaching and learning
Australia ; Education ; Higher education ; Information ; School system ; Teaching of geography ; Technology
Australian higher education has experienced substantial change since the early 1980s, with a transition to mass higher education. Evolving conceptions of learning pose new challenges for educators. The explosive emergence of the World Wide Web
are providing the basis on which information technology can become increasingly central to teaching and learning.
Choice ; Distance ; Technology ; Transport ; Transport cost
This paper studies the endogenous choice of transport technology, traditional versus modern, by a shipper. Although the modern technology is characterized by higher fixed costs and a higher speed of transport, it is chosen for intermediate distances
, rather than to long distances. The reason is that, when the shipper switches to the modern technology, the industrial firm changes production from the home to the foreign city. Thus, the demand for transport decreases proportionally to the distance
between the home and foreign city. For long distances, revenue from transportation becomes so low that the modern technology does not break even.
Urban economic development and hightechnology industry
High-tech industry ; Israel ; Location ; Research and development ; Science park ; Technology ; Urban development ; Urban economy
Economic development opportunities are expected to be expressed in the development of local linkage patterns : employment linkages, production and service linkages and linkages to local universities. On the basis of survey evidence of high
technology firms from two urban areas in Israel, linkage patterns are found to be weakly developed locally but extensively developed nationally and internationally.

The paper explores the working out in daily life of certain classic dualisms of western thought. It focuses on reason/non-reasaon and transcendence/immanence and on their influence in structuring social relations in and around high-technology
sectors in Cambridge, England. Some of the tensions in the relationship between the spheres of home and paid work are explored. A particular high-tech masculinity is being reinforced.

Economic cooperation ; Europe ; European Union ; Hightechnology ; Measurement ; Proximity ; Technology
While organizational proximity influences the output of collaborations only indirectly, geographical and technological proximity do so directly. Geographical proximity is most significant in statistical terms and technological proximity has
the highest magnitude of effect. Consequently, the latter lends itself most for management and policy interventions, by providing information on technological specialization of potential partners.
