Dear fellow-geographers, Currently, I write a thesis about the decision-making process of relocated firms from a behavioural location theoretic (Pred, Townroe, Stafford, Keeble, Hamilton) and business management point of view (Cyert & March, Hickson et. al., Mintzberg, Keller et. al.). I would appreciate it if you could help me answering the following two questions: 1. How do you explain that the last years there is so little interest in behavioural (location) approaches? 2. What do you think of the statement that, despite the cultural turn in economic geography and the popularity of the new economic geography, recently there is a renewed interest in behavioural location theoretical matters? If your answer is positive, can you give examples of related studies? If your answer is no, can you ground this opinion? Thank you very much for your cooperation. With kind regards, Cees-Jan Pen Faculty of Spatial Sciences Department Economic Geography University of Groningen PO box 800 9700 AV Groningen (Room 1.55) tel. 050-3633885 (home 050-5799120) fax. 050-3633901 http://www.frw.rug.nl/persons/pen/pen.htm
