Regional Sub-contract Suppliers to Prime Defence Contractors
OAKEY R. P., JAMES A. and WATTS T. (1998) Regional sub-contract suppliers to prime defence contractors: evidence of their performance in response to recent changes in demand, Reg. Studies 32 , 17-29. There is considerable evidence that technological change occurs unevenly over geographical space, and that change is faster in core areas of national economies than at their peripheries. The principal result of this paper is a confirmation that South…
The Employment and Skill Implications of the Adoption of New Technology
This paper examines the direct post-adoption effects of the introduction of new technology, specifically CNC machine tools, by small independent metalworking firms in three regions of the UK, the South East of England, Scotland and Wales. The research reports upon the impact of CNC adoption upon employment levels; the skills of operatives; the effect of CNCs upon skills and pay rates; the organisation of work and job content; and training. A beni…
The Regional Extent of Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Machine Tool Adoption and Post Adoption Success in Small British Mechanical Engineering Firms
OAKEY R. P. and O'FARRELL P. N. (1992) The regional extent of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tool adoption and post-adoption success in small British mechanical engineering firms, Reg. Studies 26, 163–175. Several recent papers have been concerned with the regional level and rates of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery diffusion. This paper, however, investigates regional variations in the depth of CNC adoption in small…
Regional Variations in the Adoption of Computer-Numerically-Controlled Machine Tools by Small Engineering Firms
In this paper those factors that influence the adoption of computer-numerically-controlled (CNC) machine tools by small mechanical engineering firms in three regions: the South East of England, Scotland, and Wales are investigated. Evidence is presented on CNC machine adoption in the three regions. A logistic regression model of the probability of CNC lathe adoption is developed and a regression model of the data of first adoption is calibrated. …
High Technology Industry, Agglomeration and the Potential for Peripherally Sited Small Firms
OAKEY R. P. and COOPER S. Y. (1989) High technology industry, agglomeration and the potential for peripherally sited small firms, Reg. Studies 23, 347–360. This paper considers the relevance of traditional location theory to explanations of contemporary high technology production. With the aid of evidence drawn from the location of high technology firms in South East England, Scotland and the Bay Area of California, it is then argued that most cu…
The Regional Economic Impact of Technological Change
Innovation and regional growth in small high technology firms
Oakey R. P. (1984) Innovation and regional growth in small high technology firms: evidence from Britain and the USA, Reg. Studies 18, 237–251. This paper examines the varying impact of regional resources on innovation in small, high technology firms. Evidence is drawn from diverse local economies, ranging from the development region of Scotland, through the South East of England, to the Bay area of California. Measurement focuses on the key input…
Technological Change and Regional Development
A contribution is made to the study of the regional development impacts of technological change by presenting new data on regional differences in innovation levels. In particular the analysis shows clear differences in the levels of product and process innovation. These differences in product and process innovation levels are then related to possible future policies aimed at promoting technological change in development regions
The regional distribution of innovative manufacturing establishments in Britain
Oakey R. P., Thwaites A. T. and Nash P. A. (1980) The regional distribution of innovative manufacturing establishments in Britain, Reg. Studies 14, 235–253. This paper describes the results of a preliminary establishment-based survey within a larger project designed to test the hypothesis that technological change varies between the Economic Planning Regions of Britain. The results based upon information from the Queen's Award to Industry and Sci…
Labour and the Location of Mobile Industry
There has been a tendency in certain recent studies of industrial location to use aggregated samples which draw together, and consider similarly, wide-ranging types of industrial production. With regard to labour considerations in mobile firms, interest has frequently gravitated towards an analysis of the variation in managerial competence to solve labour difficulties and has largely ignored the reality that the extent of the labour problem will …
