In recent years an extensive range of new research has been
revisiting the topic of the location of international business
activities, from a variety of different perspectives and background
interests. This work has been inspired in part by two apparently
quite different but actually related contemporary trends: on the
one hand, an emergence or revitalization of clusters of activities
co-located in or around selected global city regions or fast
growing metropolitan areas; and on the other hand, an increased
global dispersion of activities conducted within the value chains
managed or coordinated by many large multinational enterprises and
their business partners. The former trend has given rise to
discussions of how the elite of the cultural-cognitive economy of
the 21st century (in Allen Scott's terminology) or the creative
class (Richard Florida's term) are now being drawn or brought back
to major urban centers; while the latter trend is associated with
debates over outsourcing, and the economic and social consequences
of shifts in the ownership and location of distinct nodes of value
chains once production systems become more fragmented and the
component parts of such systems become more geographically
dispersed. An increased interest in the subject of international
business location has been shown by scholars in Strategic
Management, in Economic Geography, and in Regional Science, as well
as in our own interdisciplinary field of International Business
Studies. However, as is often the case in academic research
communities, these bodies of scholarship have tended to develop at
something of a distance from one another, each conversing
internally more than they have with one another. Location of
International Business Activities aims to promote a greater
conversation between those interested in the topic of Location from
various different backgrounds or starting points. The articles are
taken from a special issue on the theme of the Multinational in
Geographic Space which was published by The Journal of
International Business Studies in 2013.
