Ties that Spatially Bind? A Relational Account of the Causes of Spatial Firm Mobility
Full text linkKnoben J. and Oerlemans L. A. G. Ties that spatially bind? A relational account of the causes of spatial firm mobility, Regional Studies. The existing literature on the spatial mobility of firms neglects inter-organizational relations. This is striking since there is a strong theoretical argument that firms with a high level of (localized) embeddedness are unlikely to relocate. Therefore, the following research question is posed: To what extent is the level of embeddedness of firms in (localized) innovative inter-organizational relationships of influence on their propensity to relocate? Based on data from the automation service sector, an ordered logit model is estimated. The results show that embeddedness is an important determinant of spatial firm mobility. More specifically, there is a strong spatial lock-in effect of having a high degree of centrality. Knoben J. et Oerlemans L. A. G. Des liens qui réunissent sur le plan géographique? Un compte-rendu relationnel des causes de la mobilité géographique des entreprises, Regional Studies. La documentation actuelle sur la mobilité géographique des entreprises ne fait aucune attention aux rapports avec des organisations. C'est remarquable, étant donné qu'il y a un bon argument théorique qui affirme qu'il est peu probable que les entreprises bien (localisés) ancrées se déplacent. Par la suite, la question suivante se pose pour les chercheurs: ‘Dans quelle mesure, l'ancrage des entreprises dans des liens innovateurs localisés avec des organisations, influe-t-il sur la propensité à se déplacer?’ A partir des données qui proviennent du secteur des services automobiles, on estime un modèle logit ordonné. Les résultats laissent voir que l'ancrage constitue un facteur clé dans la mobilité géographique des entreprises. Plus précisément, il y a un effet d'enfermement géographique dû au degré de centralité élevé.

Verknüpfungen, die räumlich binden? Eine relationale Untersuchung der Ursachen für die räumliche Mobilität von Firmen, Regional Studies. In der vorhandenen Literatur über die räumliche Mobilität von Firmen werden die interorganisationellen Beziehungen vernachlässigt. Dies ist besonders bemerkenswert, weil einem stichhaltigen theoretischen Argument zufolge Firmen mit einem hohen Maß an (lokalisierten) Eingebettetheit seltener den Standort wechseln. Deshalb wird die folgende Forschungsfrage gestellt: ,Wie stark wirkt sich das Maß der Eingebettetheit von Firmen in (lokalisierten) innovativen interorganisationellen Beziehungen auf ihre Neigung zum Standortwechsel aus?' Anhand von Daten aus dem Sektor der Automatisierungsdienste wird ein geordnetes Logit-Modell geschätzt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Eingebettetheit einen wichtigen Determinanten der räumlichen Mobilität von Firmen darstellt. Insbesondere übt eine hochgradige Zentralität einen ausgeprägten räumlichen Bindungseffekt aus.

Presentación relacional de las causas de la movilidad espacial de las empresas, Regional Studies. La literatura actual sobre la movilidad espacial de las empresas ignora las relaciones interorganizativas. Esto es sorprendente si tenemos en cuenta que según un sólido argumento teórico, es poco probable que las empresas con un alto nivel de (localizadas) integración sean reubicadas. Por eso en este estudio planteamos la siguiente pregunta: ‘¿En qué medida influye el nivel de integración de las empresas en las relaciones interorganizativas innovadoras (localizadas) en su predisposición a reubicarse?’ Con ayuda de datos del sector de servicios de automatización, calculamos un modelo ordenado logit. Los resultados indican que la integración es un determinante importante de la movilidad espacial de las empresas. Sobre todo, si existe un alto grado de centralidad se ejerce un fuerte efecto de dependencia espacial.

A Relational Account of the Causes of Spatial Firm Mobility
Full text linkIt is accepted in the literature that exchanges within networks have an ongoing social structure that both enables and constrains the behavior of its members (Pfeffer and Nowak 1976; Uzzi 1996). However, most research in inter-organizational settings has focused on the enabling effects of networks and network structures only, even though some noteworthy exceptions exist (e.g. Romo and Schwartz 1995; Singh and Mitchell 1996). A possible constraining effect of network participation is spatial lock-in, also known as spatial inertia, of a firm. Following Resource Dependence Theory (Pfeffer and Salancik 1978), it can be argued that a firm that makes extensive use of knowledge resources possessed or controlled by external actors for its innovative processes can become dependent on these actors. By themselves, the relationships in which these dependencies exist are non-spatial. However, since geographical proximity is assumed to facilitate the successful exchange of (especially tacit) knowledge through inter-organizational relationships (IORs) (Bretschger 1999), dependency on other firms located in the same region can also lead to dependency on a certain geographical location, and thus to spatial lock-in (Stam 2003). The IORs that are enabling for the firm in terms of its innovative processes act, at the same time, as constraining factors for the spatial behavior of the firm. Similar reasonings can be found in the literature on Territorial Innovation Models (Moulaert and Sekia 2003), which indicates that economic embeddedness in a region can be beneficial for the performance of firms. However, this embeddedness can also lead to dependence on localized inputs and production factors. Due to these dependencies, a firm can become very unlikely to relocate, even if doing so is beneficial from a cost perspective. As Romo and Schwartz state: “Firms are usually too dependent on the material, political and social resources available in the local production culture to risk departure, even when production costs might be substantially reduced (Romo and Schwartz 1995:874).†There currently is, however, only weak empirical evidence for the proposed relationship between the level of (local) embeddedness and a firm’s propensity to relocate. Moreover, several authors even propose that geographical distance in IORs is becoming irrelevant since it effects can be replicated by ICT (Morgan 2004), or high levels of organizational or technological proximity (Kirat and Lung 1999). If this is indeed the case, then participation in localized innovative IORs will have no effect on the spatial behavior of firms, since a firm can operate exactly the same on a different geographical location. The main goal of this research is to provide empirical insights into the effects of a firm’s level of participation in innovative (localized) inter-organizational relationships (IORs) on its propensity to relocate. Based on the above, the following research question has been formulated is “To what extent is the level of embeddedness of a firm in (localized) innovative inter-organizational relationships of influence on its propensity to relocate?†Answering this research question adds to the insights about the constraining effects of networks by focusing on the spatially constraining effect of inter-organizational relationships. This research question will be answered based on a data from a survey among Dutch automation service firms in 2006. In line with earlier research (c.f. Van Dijk and Pellenbarg 2000; Brouwer et al. 2004) an ordinal logit model will be used to relate the relocation propensity of a firm to that firm’s participation in localized innovative IORs, the strength of these IORs, and the level of geographical, organizational and technological proximity. It also provides insight into the question whether or not high levels of technological and organizational proximity can negate the need for geographical proximity in inter-organizational collaboration (Boschma 2005).
