Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the factors that influence decisions on industrial location. There are three main reasons why businesses seek to locate plants in new areas: better access to immobile factors (such as raw materials), lower transportation, or production costs, and increased demand for… their products. The authors analyze these motivations by examining 88 specific cases of companies that built or considered building factories in the southern United States after World War II. By analyzing their first-hand data, the authors show how these companies analyzed their options. Both business owners and those seeking to advance economic development will find practical advice and answers to many location-related questions. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into industrial location dynamics that are applicable to a variety of real-world scenarios. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
