International relocations of business operations are part of everyday economic life in a globalized world and simultaneously serve as a starting point for intense controversies in politics and the public sphere. This book demonstrates that the relocation of sites is influenced by far more than just economic factors. The authors provide numerous practical examples to show that knowledge resources will play a significantly larger role in globalization decisions in the future. From these best-practice and worst-practice cases, the reader can derive a practical knowledge tool for making location decisions.
