520			_aEnterprise Zones were introduced to foster innovation in companies. Research conducted in the Tyneside zone 1981-3 suggests that although the zone succeeded in attracting much locally mobile investment, incentives are of minor significance to new and very small firms. The main beneficiaries are larger firms, able to own and develop property. However, any savings made do not result in more innovative behaviour, but rather inhibit it. Firms outside the zone appear significantly more innovative. The result suggests that generalised tax exemption and deregulation measures are a poor method of stimulating long term growth in new and existing firms. (Journal abstract)
