Industrial Decline in a Local Economy: The Case of Coventry, 1974-1982
The process of industrial decline in Coventry and the effects on the nature of industry in the city are revealed through an analysis both of net change in manufacturing employment and of the components of change between 1974 and 1982. The results are compared with those for other UK localities. Coventry has suffered far more from in situ decline of manufacturing establishments. It lost relatively few jobs through exits but gained relatively less …
Spatial growth and spatial rationalization in multi-plant enterprises
Plant closures in multi-plant enterprises—the case of a declining industrial sector
Healey M. J. (1982) Plant closures in multi-plant enterprises — the case of a declining industrial sector, Reg. Studies 16, 37–51. The decline in British manufacturing industry and its uneven spatial manifestation has led to a growing interest in the study of plant closures. This paper examines the closures made by a group of multi-plant enterprises in the textile and clothing industries between 1967 and 1972. The frequency of closures is related…
Locational Adjustment and the Characteristics of Manufacturing Plants
In times of economic recession and de-industrialization the importance of locational adjustment is enhanced by the reduction in the amount of mobile industry and the increase in the frequency with which firms rationalize the location of their production units. This paper analyses the locational adjustments experienced between 1967 and 1972, by 64 multi-plant enterprises in the textile and clothing industries of the United Kingdom. Over 70 per cen…
