A Study on Selecting the Location for High Tech Industry-A Case Study on Biotechnology Industry

Abstract
With the decoding of human genome, biotechnology has been regarded as to be one of the most prospective technologies in the next decades. Many countries have actively undertaken various R&D projects in order to get the leading position in this field. According to American and European experience in developing biotechnology industry, the development of biotechnology park serves the purposes of bettering production environment domestically and drawing international investment.
The main purpose of the study is to find the optimal location of biotechnology park. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which has the characteristic with multi-criteria, indefinite, group decision-making, qualitative, this study has established an evaluation structure for development preference order based on biotechnology industry, science-based industrial park and location theory.
The empirical study find out that the preference order from high to low of the
priorities of the location choice factors is ¡§human resource,¡¨ ¡§R&D environment,¡¨
¡§industrial environment,¡¨ ¡§public facilities¡¨ and ¡§communications and
transportation.¡¨ And that the preference order from high to low of the optimal location of biotechnology industry is ¡§Hsin-Chu Science-based Park,¡¨ ¡§South Science-based Park¡¨ and ¡§Central Science-based Park.¡¨
