Biotechnology and local-industry development [Elektronische Daten] [Edward Blakely, Kelvin Willoughby] This paper examines the local (regional) economic-development aspects of the emerging biotechnology industry and considers the relative importance of generationoriented policies over transfer-oriented policies. Results from a study of the biotechnology industry in California are used to support the analysis. Basically, it was found that there is a complex industrial ecology associated with biotechnology. The firms choose to locate neither randomly nor entirely in order to be close to similar firms. Rather, it appears that they emerge in locations that have a nurturing biotechnology milieu. The presence of a critical biotechnology human-resource base creates its own dynamic, which diffuses into the surrounding medical, electronic, and other related industries. Thus, what develops is a local biotechnology-generation complex. Technology transfer's role seems to be subsidiary to the process of technology generation in the area.
