The geography of Canadian interlocking directorates
This study examines the spatiality of interlocking directorates of Canadian companies, with particular emphasis given to international interlocks. From a geographical standpoint, do these connections to foreign firms reinforce the importance of Canada's top corporate cities as 'gateways' to international business? Is there a geography associated with the interlocking to these gateway cities? Findings build on James O. Wheeler's body of research f…
Fast-growing firms as elements of change in Canada’s headquarters city system
This research explores the factors that shape the evolving geographic distribution of business headquarters (HQ) activity. We address an understudied influence on HQ geographies: metropolitan HQ changes driven by the process of small, rapidly expanding businesses growing into mature companies. This investigation focuses on the developmental paths followed by fast-growing firms (FGFs) and the geographic distinctions that can be observed in a FGF t…
Exploring the Personal Histories of the Top Executives ofUSFirms Using a Quantitative Approach
This paper analyses where top executives were born and where they attended university to uncover regional groupings of the most influential executives that shape corporate culture and strategy in theUnitedStates. Within the context of this paper, it is argued that the personal histories of top executives influence their decision-making abilities, and thus corporate culture. It was found that intra-regional, intra-state, and intra-city links were …

The Urban Geography of Subsidiary Headquarters in North America
The complexity of the firm is a hallmark of the current economy. Corporate subsidiaries and their headquarters are a key expression of the development of businesses today. The analysis presented here extends on previous subsidiary research by analyzing the evolving headquarters location of foreign and domestic subsidiaries in the United States and Canada from 1996 to 2004. This study finds that certain U.S. and Canadian sectors are home to dispro…
Geographies of Corporate Decision-Making and Control
This article surveys the body of investigation related to the location of headquarters and other elite corporate decision-making activities, a research field known as quaternary location studies. The discussion includes four main sections following an introduction. The first reviews the initial development of headquarters location research from the early 20th century to 1980. The second section discusses contemporary developments and criticisms o…
Subsidiary Headquarters
The complexity of the modern firm is one of the defining features of the global economy. This study examines one dimension in which this complexity can be observed, the corporate subsidiary. Here we investigate where the headquarters of the largest subsidiaries are located in the United States, where subsidiary growth is occurring, and how the United States compared with Canada from 1996 to 2004. The results show that U.S. parent and subsidiary h…
Circuits of scrap
The recycling of scrap material has been identified as an important strategy in the larger theory of industrial ecology. Industrial ecology argues that the traditional model of industrial activity needs to be transformed into a 'closed loop' industrial ecosystem where used materials (scrap) and by-products would substitute for virgin materials during production processes. The recycling of scrap material forms part of this larger effort to reduce …
Crown corporations and co‐operatives as coping mechanisms in regional economic development
This paper focuses attention on two types of businesses, Crown corporations and co‐operatives, that have long been associated with attempted solutions to regional economic developmental problems in Canada. The paper argues that co‐operatives and Crown corporations can be viewed as coping mechanisms that attempt to make up for shortcomings in Canada's market‐based economic system. Consistent with this perspective, the case study of co‐operatives a…
Spatial Interlocking Directorates in the Canadian Urban System, 1971–1989
This research investigates the evolution of the system of Canadian decision-making centers using the location of corporate board members as a surrogate for the location of economic control. The major premise examined by this study states that, through much of the study period, board linkages should tend to concentrate on Toronto, Canada's dominant corporate administration center. While Toronto gains importance, Montreal loses connections, devolvi…
