Characteristics of a high-tech industry :
High technology, or simply high-tech, is the latest generation of manufacturing activities.
It is the application of intensive research and development (R & D) efforts leading to the manufacture of products of an advanced scientific and engineering character.
Robotics on the assembly line, computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing, electronic controls of smelting and refining processes, and the constant development of new chemical and pharmaceutical products are notable examples of the high-tech industry.
Neatly spaced, low, modern, dispersed, office- plant-lab rather than massive assembly structures, factories and storage areas mark the high-tech industrial landscape. Planned business parks for high-tech start-ups have become part of regional and local development schemes.
High-tech industries which are regionally concentrated, self-sustained and highly specialised are called technopolis. For e.g., the Silicon Valley near San Francisco and Silicon Forest near Seattle.

Characteristics of a large scale manufacturing :
Large scale manufacturing involves a large market, mechanization, enormous energy, specialised workers, technological innovation, assembly-line mass production and large capital.
Such kind of manufacturing developed in the last 200 years, in the United Kingdom, Northeastern U.S.A. and Europe.
On the basis of the system of large scale manufacturing, the world’s major industrial regions may be grouped into—traditional large scale and high-technology large scale.
Traditional large scale industrial regions are thickly clustered in a few more developed countries.
High-technology large scale industrial regions have diffused to less developed countries.
