The globalization process is a phenomenon which affects different dimensions of society. In a world marked by increased competition, the location of productive activities becomes a key factor for a firm’s success. In fact, we have witnessed a strong process of offshoring in recent years. This increased global socioeconomic integration, together with the increased ability to relocate activities poses a challenge for territorial governments, who often lack the ability to analyze the complex environment and propose actions to turn these global opportunities into benefits for their inhabitants. This document reviews concepts and elements from contemporary economic geography, urban economics and value chain management, contributing towards a new conceptual and capability framework that governments may use to develop business attraction and retention policies. |
