| Strategic Drivers of Location Decisions
for Information-Age Companies Author: Martha A. O’Mara Start Page: 365 Abstract: The location
decision-making process of forty companies with high quality "information-age"
jobs is examined. A typology of location decisions is presented based on the magnitude of
the relocation and the impact on the workforce. The strategic business drivers of the
location decisions are identified and examined. Overall, economic development incentives
are less important than the "ease of living" and labor market support found in
the community. High quality infrastructure is critical. Future trends and their
implications for corporate real estate strategy and economic development priorities are
suggested. |
