Description

Often at the forefront of product development and advanced technology use, it is these firms that are seen as critical in the transition to knowledge-based production. Basing industry classification on new small firms thus alleviates the bias in favour of large firm characteristics that arises with the use of industry-level aggregates. The competency-based approach developed herein reveals several important findings. First, industry rankings are highly sensitive to the conceptual measures that form the basis for classification. Accordingly, classification schemes that rely on a single-measure of technological prowess, as many do, may incorrectly rank industries and/or classify sectors. Second, firms that possess the advanced competencies that contribute to technological prowess are found in many industries, and are not as sector-specific as previous attempts at classification suggest. Simply stated, low-tech industries are not devoid of high-tech firms, nor, for that matter, are high-tech industries comprised exclusively of high-tech firms. Consequently, broad generalizations at the industry-level may prove dubious. An additional issue addressed herein focuses on the appropriateness of using a single competency-based index as a basis for classifying industries. In our view, the competency-based approach represents a considerable advance over previous efforts: it formally recognizes the multidimensional nature of technological prowess, and it focuses on the correct firm population. That said, can we then infer that a single-ranking derived from such a framework provides sufficient grounds for classification? Or alternatively, should a series of rankings be used when attempting such a task? We find that there are numerous dimensions to technological prowess and that the use of any single index may, in fact, obscure some of these. Consequently, different industries will emerge as high-tech leaders when different aspects of technological prowess are emphasized.
