In this study, survey and interview data from four high technology industrial sectors in northern Florida are used to examine the effect of several establishment and organizational characteristics on the strength of intrastate linkages both of sophisticated and of routine inputs. The empirical findings show that local linkages of Florida's high technology industries are generally weak, and are most local mainly among small, locally owned, research and development-intensive establishments.
