There are also financial advantages to owning your home and business in one location: monthly payments going toward building equity rather than paying rent, tax deductions for mortgage interest payments and the potential for appreciation with the sale of the property. Porter's art gallery serves as the focal point from the street and still features many of the original fixtures from the building, which was constructed in 1875.
Franchiser integrity: Does the litigation history section in the franchise disclosure document indicate that the franchiser has been sued by past franchisees for material reasons such as fraud, misrepresenta- tion or breach of contract? Have there been any actions brought by govern- mental agencies that would indicate some of the individuals associated with the franchiser are not trustworthy or have a history of disreputable business practices? How about bankruptcies? THE REASONS for purchasing a franchise are numerous, but center around the advantages that a franchise offers a new business owner in terms of name recognition, advertising, training, location assistance and ongoing support.
In this study, we examine the location strategies (e.g., developing versus developed countries) of Chinese multinational firms (Pantzalis 2001). We argue that domestic firm-specific ownership advantages of a firm, in the form of larger size and higher degree of diversification, will induce internationalization into developed countries rather than into developing countries. We also predict that internationalization into developed countries will help performance, but internationalization into developing countries will hurt performance. Based on an analysis of data on 154 Chinese-listed MNCs from 1992 to 2002, we find support for our predictions.
New Jersey and data centers -- perfect together? To hear Jeff Hipschman tell it, that could be a new recruiting slogan for the state. Data centers -- structures built to be secure locations to house a corporation's computer operations -- are springing up in New Jersey because of its proximity to Manhattan, and because of other advantages in this state. Hipschman, senior managing director of the New Jersey offices of global commercial real estate firm CB Richard Ellis (CBRE), has expertise in data- center location as the tri-state leader of CBRE's technology practice group. He also oversees other commercial real-estate transactions for the three New Jersey offices in Saddle Brook, East Brunswick and Florham Park.

At the Saudi-owned company where I work, all 2,000-plus employees are male," explains my U.S. friend, Ed, who currently lives and works in Saudi Arabia. "So there was originally no need to build a women's restroom in any of our headquarters' facilities. As times change and international businesswomen from other companies visit our location, they must plan ahead for something as simple as restroom needs. As you might expect, business in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia can be very different than in the West due to the many legal and cultural norms affecting women. Expatriate businesses in Saudi Arabia can be aided by a proper understanding of these norms and their advantages and disadvantages.
Although free-standing companies helped facilitate international capital flows in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, their ability to operate effectively over the long run in a global economy has been questioned. This essay looks at one free-standing company, the Penang Sugar Estates, Ltd., in British Malaya to assess its managerial performance and strategies for transferring information. Through diversification, subcontracting, reorganization, and increased tolerance for local knowledge, the firm surmounted the information asymmetries that gave trouble during its early decades and increased profits. The Malayan sugar industry benefited from its imperial location, which brought significant advantages.
This study addresses vital questions: First, why a select group of developing countries receives the lion's share of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), while the overwhelming majority of less developed countries are left behind? Second, whether and to what extent FDI inflow is a function of a country's FDI policy regime? The study identifies market size, the rate of growth in market size, economic competitiveness, infrastructure, and worker productivity as key location factors. Further, several specific FDI and trade policies are germane to attracting a significant volume of FDI. These include lowering the ratio between the volume of FDI that is approved, as against the FDI actually undertaken by streamlining the approval process and removing arbitrary foreign ownership ceilings in sector...

Based on a literature review of terrorism and global business literature, this paper addresses those conditions that may lead to new considerations about risk and its management at policy and the MNE (multinational enterprise) level. How do MNEs adapt to the 09/11 - type risk in strategic management that shapes choices made for internationalization and for international business operations? It is observed that MNEs increasingly enlarge the notion of political risk. We suggest the development of a strategic risk assessment that incorporates terrorism which in its threat, event and aftermath does not remain local or national, but influences investment, location, logistics, supply-chain and other performance- linked decisions of the international value chain through an enlarged risk-return...
