Book The Dynamics of Industrial Location

Download or read book The Dynamics of Industrial Location written by Roger Hayter and published by . This book was released on 1997-05-30 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern textbook on industrial geography that systematically explores the location dynamics of factories, firms and production systems within the context of the problem of industrial transformation. The most comprehensive treatment of contemporary industrial geography, including new approaches to factory location and the geography of the firm, and discussions of industrial districts, flexible specialisation, restructuring, truncated economies and de-industrialization Adopts a clear but elegant structure in which the factory, the firm and the production system, provide related and progressively complex building blocks Well written and clearly illustrated with case studies and examples from all over the world which explicitly integrate the geographical and organizational dimensions of industrial change The Dynamics of Industrial Location is a cornerstone text for the teaching of economic geography which effectively incorporates the results of the transformation of manufacturing in the past decade, the impact of de-industrialization, post-Fordism and the globalization of production in a way that previous textbooks were unable to do. Policy issues are addressed throughout the book. Roger Hayter has written a modern text that is the first student level treatment of ?new industrial spaces?. He brings together the conceptual idea and the empirical example. The book brims with interesting real world illustrations, along with insightful applications of theory. This is quite simply the first choice adoptable textbook for second (and upper) level industrial geography courses. It will also be of considerable relevance for regional, community and environmental planners and for students in urban studies, business and regional economics.

Book excerpt: Weber’s theory, called the location triangle, sought the optimum location for the production of a good based on the fixed locations of the market and two raw material sources, which geographically form a triangle. He sought to determine the least-cost production location within the triangle by figuring the total costs of transporting raw material from both sites to the production site and product from the production site to the market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an extensive and highly original inquiry into the origins, dynamics, and internal order of the modern metropolis. Allen J. Scott demonstrates how the metropolis emerges out of the basic mechanisms of production and work in contemporary society, and how those mechanisms guide general patterns of urban development. His work will be stimulating to social scientists and to planners and policy makers as well. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology.

Book Industrial Organisation and Location

Download or read book Industrial Organisation and Location written by P. J. McDermott and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to advance locational explanation in industrial geography by more fully exploring relationships between organizations and the environments within which they operate. The volume is in two parts, the first developing a theoretical framework and the second testing this framework with data for firms in the electronics industry in the UK. To produce the theoretical framework, ideas derived from geographers' studies of linkages and information flows are reviewed and amalgamated with ideas embodied in organization theorists' contingency models of organisational structure. These two sets of studies are complementary. The geographical studies are empirically strong but conceptually weak, and are cast in an explicitly spatial framework. The structural contingency models, however, are empirically weak, conceptually strong and almost entirely aspatial. The amalgamation of these two sets of ideas yields an a priori model of organization environment interactions, which is tested in the second half of the volume.

Book Key Thinkers on Cities

Download or read book Key Thinkers on Cities written by Regan Koch and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key Thinkers on Cities provides an engaging introduction to the dynamic intellectual field of urban studies. It profiles the work of 40 innovative thinkers who represent the broad reach of contemporary urban scholarship and whose ideas have shaped the way cities around the world are understood, researched, debated and acted upon. Providing a synoptic overview that spans a wide range of academic and professional disciplines, theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, the entry for each key thinker comprises: A succinct introduction and overview Intellectual biography and research focus An explication of key ideas Contributions to urban studies The book offers a fresh look at well-known thinkers who have been foundational to urban scholarship, including Jane Jacobs, Henri Lefebvre, Manuel Castells and David Harvey. It also incorporates those who have helped to bring a concern for cities to more widespread audiences, such as Jan Gehl, Mike Davis and Enrique Peñalosa. Notably, the book also includes a range of thinkers who have more recently begun to shape the study of cities through engagements with art, architecture, computer modelling, ethnography, public health, post-colonial theory and more. With an introduction that provides a mapping of the current transdisciplinary field, and individual entries by those currently involved in cutting edge urban research in the Global North and South, this book promises to be an essential text for anyone interested in the study of cities and urban life. It will be of use to those in the fields of anthropology, economics, geography, sociology and urban planning.

Book Technopoles of the World

Download or read book Technopoles of the World written by Manuel Castells and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technopoles - planned centres for the promotion for high- technology industry - have become a key feature of national economic development worldwide. Created out of a technological revolution, the formation of the global economy and the emergence of a new form of economic production and management, they constitute the mines and foundries of the information age, redefining the conditions and processes of local and regional development. This book is the first systematic survey of technopoles in all manifestations: science parks, science cities, national technopoles and technobelt programmes. Detailed case studies, ranging from the Silicon Valley to Siberia and from the M4 Corridor to Taiwan, relate how global technopoles have developed, what each is striving to achieve and how well it is succeeding. Technopoles of the World distills the lessons learnt from the successes and failures, embracing a host of disparate concepts and a few myths, and offering guidelines for national, regional and local planners and developers worldwide.
