“…Balogun et al, 2019; Biyue, 2014; Tyll et al, 2018; Valentino et al, 2019). Next, international communication and market space results supported prior assertions (e.g., Adler & Florida, 2020; Martinez-Fernandez et al, 2012; Fujita & Thisse, 2006; Koven & Koven, 2018; Nell & Schmitt, 2018; Saarinen, 2020; Valentino et al, 2019). With the increasing globalization and local competition in China, firms seek new local and international territories with greater opportunities for learning, development, and expansion (Biyue, 2014; Y.…”

“…According to Kimelberg and Williams (2013), low rental rates and land costs, developed infrastructure, high state benefits, physical attractiveness, convenient traffic, parking system, and highway access play a significant role in headquarters relocation decisions. Recent literature also supports that the most common headquarters relocation priorities include extensive firm networks and resource concentration (Markle & Shackelford, 2014); better capital asset and infrastructure (Aguezzoul, 2014); subsidized energy and tax rates (Tarczynska, 2016); and a conductive industry atmosphere to develop corporate culture (Koven & Koven, 2018). Anguelov and Jewitt (2020) have also reported a predominant influence of preferential policies on headquarter relocations in the United States, a view consistent with latest findings (e.g., Chow et al, 2021; Saarinen, 2020).…”

“…This view is consistent with current findings that central cities are prioritized as they have quality education institutions, well-educated professionals, and a high concentration of software (technical) skills (cf. Artz et al, 2016; Hensher et al, 2017; Koven & Koven, 2018). Adler and Florida (2020) recently established that human capital or talent and population size of the host country or region has been the main relocation among Fortune 500 companies between 1955 and 2017.…”

To Relocate Or Not to Relocate: A Logit Regression Model of Factors Influencing Corporate Headquarter Relocation Decision in China

China’s 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road Project (involving USD1 trillion) is one of the most ambitious projects in human history. Although this trans-continental project presents tremendous development opportunities for businesses and cities within and outside China, there is nascent progress in some cities, for example, Quanzhou. With limited development prospects, enterprises are considering partial or total relocation to central cities to overcome bottlenecks and exploit future opportunities. Past relocation literature offers limited and contrasting insight into enterprise relocation’s antecedents and outcomes, especially for China. This article has attempted to fill this gap by exploring the factors affecting relocation decisions in Quanzhou using a sample of 441 employee self-reports. The logit regression model indicated that employees and cadre groups consider four factors before headquarter relocation, including preferential policies and industry environment (e.g., subsidies and tax), management resources (e.g., standardized management), intelligence and software resources (e.g., brand awareness), and international communication and market space (e.g., market openness). The intelligence and software resources were the least prioritized relocation factors among all four factors. The article presents important policy implications based on current results.

“…Around this time, the elected officials first endeavored to attract investors for traditional economic development projects like a sports arena or big‐box retailers but were unsuccessful (Schindler, 2016). In contrast, Quicken Loans brought in massive amounts of tech‐savvy workers in 2014 and promised investment with other private investors for city center revitalization (Koven & Koven, 2018). Streets were cleaned, well maintained, and policed.…”

Happy neighborhoods: Investigating neighborhood conditions and sentiments of a shrinking city with Twitter data

2020

Planning interventions have been applied to improve the well‐being, hereafter happiness, of residents. The happiness in shrinking cities, in particular, becomes more critical since urban decline tends to induce an unequal and uneven distribution of care under a limited budget and human resources. Using geo‐tagged Twitter, census, and geospatial data on Detroit, Michigan, which is one of the well‐known shrinking cities in the U.S., the spatial distribution of sentiments, topics of tweets appeared, and the association between neighborhood conditions and the level of happiness were examined. The outcomes indicate that people in Detroit are posting happy tweets more than negative tweets. The downtown area holds both positive and negative hotspots, which are clustered around sports arenas and bars, respectively. Neighborhoods with young and well‐educated residents, situated close to amenities (i.e., recreation facilities, colleges, and commercial areas), and less crime tend to be happier. The use of SNS data could serve as a meaningful social listening tool to reconcile the declining urban vitality of neighborhoods since people interact with those spaces. Negative sentiments are attached to specific neighborhoods with certain conditions so that regeneration efforts should take place in neighborhoods with a higher priority.

“…Last, contrary to the "degrowth" label, "rebirth" conveys the idea of the positive transformative change coming after an ecological catastrophe (e.g., Hardy-Short & Short, 1995) or an economic crisis (e.g., Koven & Koven, 2018), without explicitly referring to "growth". This characteristic may help overcome the aforementioned "backfire effect" attached to the "degrowth" label, which highlights contrast with growth (Drews & Antal, 2016).…”
