Corporations are key  operational units of economies. Each corporation has several locations  and connections to suppliers and customers who also operate in  geographical space. The effectiveness of corporate spatial  organizations is of importance for their well-being and for the health  of the national and local economies in which they operate. This volume  discusses where and why firms locate units of production, sales and  control and how these interact with each other, with suppliers and  with customers. The foundations are from commercial geography,  business economics and location theory, but there are some unique  characteristics. One is the blending of manufacturing and retailing in  one treatise. Another is the extensive use of real-company case  studies which illustrate both the basic concepts and the inadequacies  of existing models. Corporate managers can relate tothe experiences  of actual companies. \u003cbr\u003e  This book is of interest to scientists, researchers and professionals  in economic geography, business administration, general management,  microeconomies, industrial organization and economic planning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-09-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048145126\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1181-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 450.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578447519884,"sku":"9789048145126","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048145126.jpg?v=1767148685","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048145126","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
