The Geography research
cluster is focused on Internationally Traded Services. The goals of this
cluster are (i) to analyse the spatial
pattern of foreign direct investment in internationally traded services (ITS)
in Ireland, (ii) to assess the ‘embeddedness’ of ITS investment in
the local economy and the role of indigenous firms in supply chain activity,
outsourcing and penetration of global markets, (iii) to identify the public
policy implications relating to spatial strategy, and (iv) to pursue new
teaching and learning initiatives on the theme of the information economy.
Sectors to be studied will include software, teleservices, shared services and
financial services.
