Externalization
Externalization refers to the use of market contracting by a business firm to procure a good and/or a service from another independent firm as opposed to producing that good or service internally within the former's organizational hierarchy. Geographic research on externalization has predominantly focused on the spatial structure, causes of, and forms of economic organization resulting from market contracting between: (i) manufacturing firms and …

An Examination of the Link Between Employment Volatility and the Spatial Distribution of Property Crime Rates
Recent criminological research has produced inconsistent findings in its attempts to establish a statistical relationship between economic marginalization and the spatial distribution of crime rates. This paper contends that this inconsistency is partly attributable to the way in which economic marginalization has been conceptually defined and measured. By focusing strictly on unemployment and poverty as the processes that produce economic margin…
Factors Associated with the Development of Nonmetropolitan Growth Nodes in Producer Services Industries, 1980-1990
Over the 1980-1990 period, employment in producer services industries in the nonmetropolitan United States increased substantially. This growth resulted in the development of nonmetropolitan growth nodes in producer services industries. A growth node refers to a nonmetropolitan area that contains a greater than average concentration of employment in a particular industry sector relative to other nonmetropolitan areas. Moreover, this industry conc…
The Spatial Shift in the Growth of Poverty Among Families Headed by Employed Females, 1979-89
The number of working poor families in the United States increased substantially during the 1979-89 period. This increase was found to disproportionately consist of families headed by employed females. The growth in poverty among families headed by employed females during this period was found to be nonstructural in nature and inequitably distributed across labor markets in the U.S. It was found that at the onset of the 1980s, high rates of pover…
The Role of Contact Requirements in Producer Services Location
The authors explore the role of contact requirements in the locational tendencies of producer service establishments. Empirical evidence from two demand-side surveys suggests that close proximity between vendors and clients is required for contracts that involve frequent buyer-seller interaction (face-to-face linkages). These types of contracts are shown to be relatively low duration and/or low cost in nature. Specific activity classes that exhib…
Learning Factories or Reproduction Factories: Labor-Management Relations in the Japanese Consumer Electronics Maquiladoras in Mexico
This article compares and contrasts the labor-management practices of Japanese consumer electronics maquiladoras in Mexico with those of consumer electronics factories in Japan and assesses the extent to which the labor-management practices of Japanese factories have been transferred to maquiladoras in Mexico. An idealized model of the labor-management system employed in Japanese factories in the consumer electronics sector is delineated from the…
An Examination of the Relationship between Corporate Spatial Organization, Restructuring, and External Contracting of Producer Services within a Metropolitan Region
Urban analysts contend that a key process underlying the extensive growth of producer services industries in U.S. metropolitan areas is the external contracting of producer services functions by corporations. This practice has been linked to changes in the geographic scope of corporate activity and to corporate restructuring. Using data collected from a sample of headquarters of service sector firms located in the northeast region of Ohio, the re…
The Producer Services Sector and Development within the Deindustrializing Urban Community
This article examines alternative models of producer services development in metro-politan communities and analyzes factors associated with the development of producer services in two deindustrializing urban communities — the primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSAs) of Cleveland and Akron, Ohio, Sample surveys of producer services in each metropolitan area reveal that establishments: (1) tend to be primarily dependent upon the revenue gener…
Patterns of Economic Restructuring in Industrial-based Metropolitan Areas
The restructuring of the US economy has involved the divergence of employment growth in the manufacturing sector from that in the aggregate economy. It is hypothesised that the negative consequences of restructuring in the manufacturing sector have been concentrated disproportionately in the metropolitan economies of the Midwest (East North Central) region of the US. It is also hypothesised that industrial-based metropolitan economies with higher…
Producer Services, Trade and the Social Division of Labour
GOE W. R. (1990) Producer services, trade and the social division of labour, Reg. Studies 24, 327–342. Several hypotheses have been advanced to explain the growth in employment and output of producer services industries in US metropolitan and regional economies. One hypothesis contends that this growth is attributable to the increasing externalization of service activities by corporate managerial offices to independent producer services firms. Th…
Midwestern Agriculture in Us Fordism: From the New Deal to economic restructuring
The Information Age: Implications for U.S. Agriculture
The U.S. agricultural system is on the verge of a technological revolution that will involve biotechnology and computer‐based information technology. As the U.S. economy is being transformed through the growing computerelectronics industry, agricultural applications of computer technology, which include the microcomputer and videotex information retrieval networks, are becoming established agricultural inputs. The emergence of agriculture into th…
