The Review of Regional Studies, 1997, vol. 27, issue 1, 85-99

Abstract: This article utilizes survey data from high technology firms in Texas to analyze the location of their interfirm cooperative contacts and the importance of these contacts for their business success in general and for exporting to Mexico in particular. A literature review of the nature of collaborative firm networks in both Europe and the United States is followed by an empirical analysis of how local, national and international interfirm contacts differ between manufacturing and service establishments, between independent and branch establishments, and between large firms and small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). Policy implications of the results are considered in the concluding summary.
