The selection of a new location for a multinational company and the embedded knowledge :
A case-study in the cluster.
ABSTRACT
Research works haven’t yet shed much light on the performance of the location choice considered as a decisive factor for a successful industrial implantation of a multinational company. The aim of this publication is to highlight the link between geographically embedded knowledge, the location of a multinational company and its consequential performance. Geographically embedded knowledge may indeed influence the performance of the industrial location choice. We put forward a conceptual approach allowing to formulate the bases of a mathematical modelization. A case-study is carried out within the industrial cluster in Grasse (France). Our research has led us to highlight some types of managerial behaviours which will ensure the performance of an implantation within a cluster.
Keywords: Mathematical modelization, embedded knowledge, cluster, location, performance
