“…Certain key issues for industrial location research have emerged from this preliminary review of computer services. Firstly, additional work needs to be undertaken in industrial location of the interrelationship between new and small firms and the large corporate players (TAYLOR, 1985), in addition to the important issue of subcontracting and linkages (MASON and HARRISON, 1985, pp. 11-14).…”

“…Likewise, stability will hereafter refer to employment stability. 2.In his call for increased attention to the firm, Taylor (1985) seems almost willing to accept the wholesale abandonment of spatial frameworks in the study of industrial geography. While I agree that an improved conceptualization of the firm is critical, industrial geography can no more afford to exclude space from its analyses than it can afford to exclude organizational structure.…”

“…The regional scale of analysis will have clear impacts on the extemal-internal distinction. Although some argue that imposing a spatial dimension truncates "organizations through the imposition of arbitrary spatial frameworks" (Taylor 1985 p. 438). there are clear arguments in support of the rationality of regional definition for these studies?…”

Interest in the economic role of the large enterprise has led to numerous studies of economic dependency and regional economic health and performance. In this paper, an interindustry accounting framework is conjoined with Dun and Bradstreet corporate ownership data to provide a fresh perspectiveontheeffects of external economicownership. The aggregatelevel measurementmethod is applied to fifteen multicounty regions in the state of Illinois, and reveals considerable variation in the measures generated. High regional dependence measures are directly related to employment stability and inversely related to employment growth.Although interindustry accounts have been used most commonly in economic impacts assessment and forecasting, a broader range of potential applications lies in their use as descriptive and explanatory measurement tools. This paper addresses the external ownership issue at the macrolevel by testing therelationship between measures of input-output dependence and indices of regional employment growth and stability, and demonstrates, in the process, a non-conventional use of interindustry data. The conjoining of interindustry data and the Dun andBradstreet data produces aunique set of measures of regional economic structure.Among the issues associated with regional economic health, development, and welfare, external control seems to evoke strong emotions, Concern ranges from national reliance on foreign oil as an energy source, through the local effects of centralized governmental policy, to the impacts of absentee industry ownership on the local economy. Impacts of foreign direct investment and the relative behavior of foreign and domestic industry have been the research focus of a number of geographers, economists, and regional scientists, who display an ever-increasing interRandall W.

It is argued that the emerging spatial organisation of three telecommunications and computer firms can only be fully understood by reference to changing market and competitive contexts, and not by analysis of the forces of production alone. Strategic alliances are seen as an attempt by capital to cope with turbulent market conditions brought about by technical and regulatory change—and are part of a wider corporate and industrial restructuring process that is both attendant upon, and a stimulus to, this changing basis for competition.
