摘要
基于管理理论、企业战略和经济地理学的关键概念,我们认为“区位战略”的时代已经到来。位置战略是一个框架,用于理解组织的位置决策如何适应更广泛的公司战略。考虑到知识和人才作为生产的关键因素的兴起,以及这些投入如此集中在空间中的事实,区位战略尤为重要。我们提出了指导这一领域进一步工作的若干原则,并简要预测了区位战略在大流行后经济中的作用。这种方法非常适合于研究不断扩张的现代企业、自由流动的人才地理以及竞争激烈的区域经济政策领域。管理需要把定位战略作为更广泛的企业战略的一个关键要素来考虑。这是因为地理位置和企业地理位置决策对企业战略来说越来越重要。我们回顾了学术文献中的关键观点,这些观点与管理者如何获得人才、知识和客户的最佳途径有关。在复杂的知识系统中获得人才和嵌入性是超越简单的投入成本问题的区位战略的一个决定性特征。此外,公司在决定如何在世界各地定位和部署资源时,需要考虑司法管辖区的行动和反应。管理培训通常不具有地理位置战略的特点。作者在多伦多大学罗特曼商学院(University of Toronto’s Rotman School)的MBA课程《城市与商业》(The City and Business)上教授学生时,改进了他们的方法。
Locational strategy: Understanding location in economic geography and corporate strategy
Research Summary
Drawing on key concepts from management theory, corporate strategy, and economic geography, we argue that the time has come for “Locational Strategy.” Locational strategy is a framework for understanding how the locational decisions of organizations fit into broader corporate strategy. Locational strategy is particularly relevant given rise of knowledge and talent as key factors of productions and the fact that these inputs are so clustered in space. We lay out several principles to guide further work in this area, and briefly anticipate the role for locational strategy in the post-pandemic economy. Such an approach is well suited to the study of the sprawling modern firm, the footloose geography of talent, and the hyper-competitive field of regional economic policy.
Managerial Summary
Management needs to consider locational strategy as a key element of broader corporate strategy. This is because location and firm location decisions are ever more central to firm strategy. We review key ideas from the academic literature that bear on how managers can get the best access to talent, knowledge, and customers. Access to talent and embeddedness in complex knowledge systems is a defining feature of Locational strategy over and above simple input cost concerns. Furthermore, firms need to consider the actions and reactions of jurisdictions as they decide how to locate and deploy resources across in places across the world. Management training typically does not feature the geographic considerations of location strategy. The authors have refined their approach while teaching students in their course on The City and Business in the MBA program at the University of Toronto's Rotman School.
