High tech: a high-tech industry is defined by the presence of four factors: a high proportion of scientists, engineers, and technicians; a high proportion of R&D employment; production of high-tech products, as specified on a Census Bureau list of advanced-technology products; and the use of high-tech production methods, including intense use of high-tech capital goods and services in the production process Kauffman
A Congressional Office of Technology Assessment document describes high-technology firms as those “engaged in the design, development, and introduction of new products and/or innovative manufacturing processes through the systematic application of scientific and technical knowledge.”
National Science Foundation report on science and technology resources also refers to the employment of scientists, engineers, and technicians and to measures of R&D activities as “two of the most important parameters of innovation” and uses those two parameters “as surrogates for measuring the broader concept of innovation.”
