Research Abstract |
In order to survive in an increasingly competitive business environment, individual firms must constantly adapt themselves to new and changing circumstances. Relocation of a firm, therefore, can be considered as a form of the adaptation. Besides, understanding the factors that play a key role in the decisions that businesses make on where to locate is very important in order to determine the most effective mechanisms to attract firms, and thereby maintain a healthy economy. In urban economics, the related individual firms which gather together will gain benefits such as lower cost of production and a larger market share that one firm can achieve. A firm, while making a relocation decision or location choice decision, does not act in isolation ; in contrast, firms are influenced by others who located nearby. The main contribution of this research, therefore, analyses the influence of these factors on location choice and relocation decision behavior of an individual firm in order to better understanding the key factors. In addition, how the spatial effect on the firm location choice and relocation behaviors should be considered carefully in the research process.
