Abstract

This study explores the perceived benefits of a science park location in the UK for independent technology-based firms. Property needs of independent science parks firms were compared with the property needs of a 'control' group of similar firms located off-park. Factors which influenced owner-managers to locate their ventures on a science park or an off-park location were ascertained. Further, the perceived benefits of selected locations were explored. Conclusions and implications for policy-makers and practitioners are detailed.
