Rationality in Industrial Location Decisions
Models of the outcomes of decision-making with respect to location by industrial companies decentralising from a metropolitan core have made the standard economic assumptions of optimising behaviour under constraints, following a path of instrumental rationality. This paper argues the case for widening the perspectives used in the analysis of industrial location decisions to consider both procedural rationality and expressive rationality alongsid…
A Discriminant Analysis of the 1980 São Paulo Industrial Location Survey
Industrial location surveys typically generate large data sets with information on the characteristics of the companies and plants involved as well as on the relative importance of different locational push and pull factors. Since for the majority of companies locational choice results from the consideration of a range of factors, discriminant analysis can be used to reveal the important groupings of factors which distinguish the choices made by …
Polarization reversal in the state of São Paulo, Brazil
Townroe P. M. and Keen D. (1984) Polarization reversal in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, Reg. Studies 18, 45–54. The concept of polarization reversal refers to the turning point from relative concentration to relative deconcentration in the spatial pattern of urban growth in a city region or nation. The paper argues that this important notion has been treated with some ambiguity in the literature. Alternative definitions and measures are illustr…

Settling-In Costs in Mobile Plants
The labour factor in the post-move experience of mobile companies
Townroe P. M. (1975) The labour factor in the post-move experience of mobile companies. Reg. Studies 9, 335–347. Labour issues, although given prominence in the search and decision processes of location choice by manufacturing companies, give problems to a significant minority of plants established in new locations. Based on the evidence of two surveys, these problems are discussed in two groups: those occurring at the transitional stage of runni…
Linkage Adjustment Following Industrial Movement
Some behavioural considerations in the industrial location decision
Townroe P. M. (1972) Some behavioural considerations in the industrial location decision, Reg. Studies 6, 261–272. Behaviour patterns in the location decisions of a sample of 59 migrant manufacturing companies are related to the characteristics of the companies and of the moves. Chi-square tests are used to test for inter-relationships and a principal component analysis is applied to yield characteristic groups of companies. The results show grea…

Locational choice and the individual firm
Townroe P. M. (1969) Locational choice and the individual firm, Reg. Studies 3, 15–24. A complementary approach to the use of locational theory for the understanding of the mobility of industrial concerns is found in a concentration on the individual enterprise. In a series of four charts, the internal and external pressures on the decision-making process are set out and the interrelationships explored. A clarification of the factors involved set…
