The industries examined in the study were electronics, food processing, medical devices, metal fabrication, plastics, pharmaceuticals, software production and telecommunications equipment. Key location sensitive costs factors that were examined included land and building costs, construction costs, labour, transportation, electricity, telecommunications and taxes.
