ABSTRACT

Recent research on science and technology parks (STPs) has called for including regional contextual factors in studies of STP performance. However, no study has yet systematically assessed how regional contextual factors support or hinder STP performance. We apply a systematic framework to a comparative case study of three regional STPs in Thailand and analyse the effects of varying conditions along five dimensions: urbanisation, industrial structure, regional institutions and culture, university and research institutes, and financial resources in relation to the performance of each STP. The three Thai regions are similar in both size and levels of urbanisation and are governed by the same national programme for STP development, which provides a good methodological set-up for analysing the effects of varying regional contexts. Findings reveal that positive STP development is grounded in the presence of an innovative culture in regions driven by an active collaboration among local actors. Moreover, despite STPs being located in the same national innovation system, different regional contextual factors result in different levels of STP performance. A holistic understanding of these regional connections can help improve designs of STPs, and other supportive policies that are important for regional innovation development.

区域因素如何影响科技园区绩效:泰国区域科技园区的比较分析

摘要

最近对科技园区 (STP) 的研究要求将区域背景因素纳入 STP 绩效研究。然而,还没有研究系统地评估区域背景因素如何支持或阻碍 STP 绩效。我们将系统框架应用于泰国三个区域 STP 的比较案例研究,并从五个维度分析不同条件的影响:城市化、产业结构、区域机构和文化、大学和研究机构以及与绩效相关的财政资源每个 STP 的。泰国三个地区的城市化规模和水平相似,并受相同的国家 STP 发展计划管辖,这为分析不同区域环境的影响提供了良好的方法设置。调查结果表明,积极的 STP 发展基于当地参与者之间积极合作推动的地区创新文化的存在。此外,尽管 STP 位于同一国家创新体系中,但不同的区域背景因素导致 STP 绩效水平不同。对这些区域联系的整体了解有助于改进 STP 的设计,以及对区域创新发展很重要的其他支持性政策。
