Abstract
The determinants of firms' location choice have changed over time, in particular in the high-tech industry. Few studies that investigate the factors that influence firms' location decision distinguish between firms in their early stages of life cycle and more established high-tech firms. This study identifies the considerations prioritized by high-tech firms in both categories in the process of choosing a location within a metropolitan region for establishing or relocating their business. The intra-metropolitan competition for high-tech plants was examined using data gathered through field surveys of managers of such firms in the Tel-Aviv metropolitan region. The findings shed light on the importance ascribed to internal and external factors in the decision on location made by the firms' managers.
