Location Decisions - Objective
Choose the location
that maximizes
the firm’s benefit
There are only three important things concerning locations:
1) Location, 2) Location, 3) Location.

Location Decisions
F Importance:
Location decisions do not only result in real estate and investment
costs but influence in particular fixed and variable costs.
F Transportation costs
F rentals
F Wages
F Taxes, etc.
F Links to the environment (universities, clusters, etc.)

Example: Automobile Industry III
Comparing locations of production and organizational units of the
automobile industry in Japan and the US (Dyer, 1994) finds and argues
the following:
F Thesis: The huge success of the Japanese car industry is to a large extent
due to the close relations with its suppliers and in particular the
geographical vicinity.
F There exist large differences concerning the average distance between
locations of Japanese and American car manufacturers. In particular, the
entire ring of Toyota and its suppliers fits between two GM locations.
F Inventory as a share of turnover is much larger at US car producers which
implies more bound capital. These distances in turn make it hard to
implement Just-in-Time Management (see later), which further increases
inventory costs.

Example: Automobile Industry IV
F Closeness implies much better contacts between relevant people
and organizations (including suppliers). It is a grave
misunderstanding that personal contacts become redundant once
an industry can actually choose its supply in aglobally integrated
world by a mouse click; remember this for the following discussion
about clusters.
F If GM had a similar ratio between inventory and sales it would save
US$ 6 billions which amounts to annula cost saving of the order
between US$ 400 – 500 Millions depending on costs of capital
ranging between 6% to 8%.

Mathematical Formulation of Location Decisions I
F Assumptions (given):
F A set of locations:
S = {s j ;
j = 1, K , n }
F A set of organisational units:
B = {bi ;
i = 1, K , m }
F Location of the organisational units:
s (bi ) = s j ∈ S
F Objective:
F A mapping that assigns to each unit bi a location from the set S:
∑:B → S
bi → s (bi ) ⊂ S

Mathematical Formulation of Location Decisions II
F Further assumptions:
F O is the set of given locations that are connected to locations bi e.g. customers:
O = {o p , p = 1, K , r }
F The sets O, S and B are independent (in practice however there are many
interdependencies and feedbacks).
F Further constraints such as those on capacity.
F Objective:
Z = f [s (b1 ), s (b2 ), K , s (bm )]
F Maximize/Minimize
F e.g. the locations of the organizational units are chosen in order to minimize the
transport costs.
F e.g. the (incremental) benefit from the choice of a particular location or locations should
be maximized.

Economic Freedom - Graphical
HONG KONG keeps its top position
in the Economic Freedom Index
compiled by the Fraser Institute, a
Canadian think-tank. The index
ranks the policies of 141 countries
according to how much they
encourage free trade, both internally
and with other territories. Countries
with fewer taxes, strong property
rights, low regulation and sound
money score best. Britain and
America tie with Canada for fifth
place in the list. Germany is ranked
18th—on a par with El Salvador but
above Japan. Most of the lowranking countries are African, except
Myanmar and Venezuela, which are
both in the bottom ten.

Topical (Economist, 2008): Eastern Europe vs Asia
• As in the previous five years, economies in eastern Europe and Central Asia have
consistently seen the fastest pace of positive reform.
• On average, it takes 21 days to register a business in eastern Europe, which is 27
days faster than in East Asia. Setting up a company in Indonesia costs 77.9% of the
average annual income per person; in Georgia it costs 4%—though there is the small
matter of political risk to factor in. Firing a worker costs an average of 53 weeks’
salary in East Asia, compared with 27 in eastern Europe. All this cutting of red tape
has brought results: Poland now has as many registered businesses relative to its
population as Hong Kong does.
• Eastern Europe’s rapid progress due to the accession requirements imposed by
the European Union (EU), e.g., the EU requires new members to create a “one-stop
shop”. Before Macedonia became a candidate for EU membership in 2005, it took 48
days to start a business there. After three years of reforms, it now takes nine days.
• East Asian countries still have the edge in some respects: it is easier to move
goods across their borders, for example. Businesses in East Asia also face lower
taxes. Taxes on profits in eastern Europe are among the lowest in the world, typically
around 10%, but labour taxes and compulsory pension contributions increase the
overall tax burden on business.
• Of course, a few East Asian economies are still miles ahead of eastern Europe.
Singapore 1st, Hong Kong 4th but Georgia, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia in the top
30, Russia = 120th and Azerbaijan was the top reformer.

(Cost-) Benefit Analysis - Additive
Four steps:
1. Scaling: Evaluation via scale (say 1 – 10) the benefits of location with respect
to a particular factor which allows to rank and evaluate also qualitative factors.
2. Weighting: Assign weights {gi} to each individual factor entering the analysis
and to differentiate between important and less important ones.
3. Aggregate: Multiply points the scale in (1) with the weights in (2) and add up
which gives the measure of benefit associated with a particular location:
N(sj) = n1j*g1 + n2j*g2 + .....
4. Choose the location with the highest benefit = highest value of N.

Location Break-Even Analysis II
1. Given a fixed quantity of 2000 pieces Pamplona yields the highest
profits.
2. Since the assumption of 2000 pieces depends on a marketing study
it is unreliable. Therefore, the management wants to know whether
Pamplona remains the most profitable with less or higher
production.
F Location Break-Even Analysis
F This procedure calculates the intersections of the cost curves
associated with the different locations depending on the rate of
production.
F This yields capacity bounds where which location is efficient as well as
the minimal costs over all locations contingent on production.

Factors decisive for choosing USA
F Market:
F Market size: USA is the world‘s largest market for luxury cars
F Growing versus declining markets: US growing market due to baby boomers.
F Labor:
F Lower labor and production costs:
(US: US$ 17/h, DEU: US$ 27/h)
F High labor productivity
(Holidays: US 11, Germany: 31)
F Additionally:
F Low transport costs (US$ 2.500,- less per vehicle)
F New facilities improve productivity and thus lower the costs per car (around US$
2.000-3.000.-)
F Insurance (‚hedging‘) against high Dollar-Euro exchange rates.

Labor Productivity
F Keyword: level of labor costs
F Cheaper employees => higher profit?
F However, cheap labor is NOT everything – countries with cheap
labor are often characterized by low labor productity that can erode
partially or totally the advantage in terms of labor cost.
Compare: Gregory Clark, Farewell to Alms, textile production in
England and colonial India.
F ‚Skills‘ of workers, good infrastructure, and technology are often
more important to many industries than plain labor costs.

Steiner-Weber Model I
F Geometric, continuous Model based on the works of the German
geometricians and regional scientists:
F Launhardt (1882), Steiner-Weber (1909) & Lösch, Christaller (1940er)
F Model assumptions:
{
}
F The set location where to delivery to, O = o p , p = 1, K r is given.
F The set of potential locations (S) is the entire plane (infinitely many, actually
uncountable many).
F The decision involves only a single location s.
F Transport costs are proportional to the Euclidean distance.
F Problem – minimize transport costs:
F Find the optimal location s * ∈ S determined by the coordinates x*, y*
that minimizes from the chosen location the transport costs to the sinks
Op with the coordinates xp, yp (p=1,…r).

Steiner-Weber Modell IV | Increments
F Nonlinear transport costs but distance depending, e.g., quadratic, or
including set up costs for each connection: k T p = k T p (d p )
F It can make sense to link the transport costs to particular sinks p to account
for differences in deliveries (e.g., scrap versus sensitive final prducts): k t = k t ( p )
A further extension is to allow for the deliveries of multiple goods from the
source (i.e., the sought location) s to sinks O.
Accounting for the last two recommendation leads to the following cost
minimization:
min K T =
