This paper examines the importance of horizontal mergers as a form of investment activity that has spatial ramifications. The complexity and motivations of horizontal mergers and the following rationalization process are illustrated by a case study of a firm in the pulp and paper industry. In addition, pre-merger and post-merger employment levels of individual plants in a number of manufacturing sectors are compared for the period 1972–1978. Every industry and region of the United States experienced an increase in employment in the period immediately following the horizontal merger. The rationalization process is seen as having a positive impact on employment levels in the short run
