Joris Knoben illustrates that the number of firm relocations has
grown steadily and considerably over the last decade and, at the
same time, relationships between organizations have become more
important to firm performance. It is often argued that these
relationships require geographical stability, and so the author
explores how these two seemingly contradictory observations can be
reconciled. Insights from economic geography and organization
science are utilized to develop a multidisciplinary firm-level
perspective on the causes and consequences of firm relocation.
Subsequently, this framework is tested empirically. The results
show that incorporating the level of embeddedness as well as the
spatial mobility of firms into a single framework leads to
significantly better explanations of both the spatial behavior of
firms as well as of the outcomes of this behavior. All-in-all, the
findings indicate that there is a tradeoff between spatial mobility
and inter-organizational stability. This multidisciplinary
perspective on the relations between organizational networks,
spatial firm mobility, and firm performance will be of great
interest to a range of scholars, including organization scientists,
regional scientists and economic geographers and, managers of
relocating companies as well as consultants in this field.
